Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of video creation technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, computer device, and storage medium for generating video. Background Technology

[0002] When creating videos, such as recommendation videos for book lists, users can collect various materials needed to introduce the book list themselves in some ways. Then, they can import these materials as pictures and text through video editing software, so that the video editing software can incorporate this information into the video frames to create a recommendation video that includes book list introduction information.

[0003] However, the tools available to users under the above methods are relatively limited. Video editing software can only provide video editing functions. Users also need to conceive the video structure for creating the video and collect and organize the book list content to be arranged in the video before they can use the video editing software to create an introductory video. The operation is also relatively complicated. Summary of the Invention

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of this disclosure described and shown herein can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this disclosure is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed disclosure, but merely represents selected embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0036] Research has found that when generating recommendation videos for book lists, users can use video editing software to incorporate self-collected book list information into video frames. However, this method offers limited tools. Since users can only create videos using video editing tools, and the software only provides basic editing functions, users still need to conceive the video structure and collect and organize the book list content to be included. The process is relatively complex.

[0037] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides a video generation method, offering a video creation page for creating recommended videos corresponding to target book lists, facilitating user creation of these videos. The video creation page specifically displays editing instructions for multiple video composition dimensions involved in creating recommended videos for target book lists. These instructions guide users in adding video materials used to build the video, eliminating the need for users to manually conceive of what information to collect. Furthermore, after receiving the target video materials for each video composition dimension, the target video materials can be directly integrated using a target video script. This target video script specifically instructs the corresponding display video frames and positions under the recommended videos for the video materials. Therefore, it allows users to directly obtain the arranged and organized recommended videos without needing to arrange the book list content, simplifying the user experience.

[0038] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure below should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0039] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0040] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a video generation method disclosed in this disclosure will first be described in detail. The execution entity of the video generation method provided in this disclosure is generally a computer device with certain computing capabilities. This computer device may include, for example, a terminal device, a server, or other processing devices. The terminal device may be a user equipment (UE), mobile device, user terminal, terminal, cellular phone, cordless phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), handheld device, computing device, in-vehicle device, wearable device, etc. In some possible implementations, the video generation method can be implemented by a processor calling computer-readable instructions stored in memory.

[0041] The video generation method provided in this disclosure is described below. Since the video generation method provided in this disclosure involves book lists and video playback, it can be specifically applied to book reading platforms and product sales platforms related to book lists, as well as video playback platforms related to video playback. For example, taking a book reading platform as an example, on the book list recommendation page or on the topic discussion page where book lists can be discussed, an entry point can be provided for editing videos of the book lists involved, and the relevant book lists can be selected as the target book lists for generating recommended videos.

[0042] See Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of a video generation method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. The method includes steps S101 to S102, wherein:

[0043] S101: In response to generating recommended videos for the target book list, display the video creation page; the video creation page includes editing instructions corresponding to multiple video composition dimensions, and the editing instructions are used to guide the addition of target video materials under each video composition dimension;

[0044] S102: In response to receiving target video materials under each of the video composition dimensions, the target video materials are integrated using a target video script to generate recommended videos corresponding to the target book list; the target video script indicates the target video frames associated with each of the video composition dimensions in the recommended videos, and the display position of the target video materials corresponding to the video composition dimensions in the target video frames.

[0045] Regarding S101 above, taking the book reading platform described above as an example, we will specifically explain the possible situations where recommended videos are generated for the target book list.

[0046] For example, on a book reading platform, specifically on the book list recommendation page or the discussion page for book lists, in addition to displaying the book lists in list format or other possible formats, you can also display instructions to generate recommended videos, such as an icon for generating recommended videos. Specifically, if a user posts a recommended book list on the book reading platform, such as providing multiple books of a certain novel genre through a comment under a novel topic, and this is identified as a book list, then when a book list is detected, the corresponding icon for generating recommended videos can be displayed in the associated location.

[0047] For example, see Figure 2The diagram illustrates an icon for generating recommended videos displayed on a topic discussion page, as provided in this embodiment of the disclosure. Specifically, it shows a user's message: "Highly recommend these novels: Novel A by author A, and Novel B and Novel C by author B, both published last year." The novels "Novel A," "Novel B," and "Novel C" can be used to construct a target book list. The icon for generating recommended videos is displayed in the relevant position to the right of the user's message. Responding to the triggering of this icon, it can be determined that the user's current intention includes generating recommended videos for the target book list, and the video creation page is displayed.

[0048] The displayed video creation page includes editing instructions corresponding to various video composition dimensions. These instructions guide users in adding target video materials for each dimension. Specifically, these instructions are displayed as icons or characters. Video composition dimensions can be divided based on the video's structure, such as dividing it into video segments representing the book list and the individual books within that list, or further subdividing it into cover frames displaying the book list and video frames showcasing each book.

[0049] Within each video component dimension, specific content related to the book list or books can be displayed within the indicated video frames. This content includes, but is not limited to: the book list's name, introductory information, reasons for recommendation, and the titles, authors, and brief descriptions of each book within it.

[0050] Here, when displaying editing instructions corresponding to multiple video composition dimensions, in one possible scenario, the editing instructions for each video composition dimension can be displayed page by page, following the order of the book list and the books. For example, see... Figure 3 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a video creation page provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. In this approach, a step index prompts the user to add content information corresponding to the object indicated by the index on each page.

[0051] For example, in Figure 3 (a) shows several editing instructions under the "Video Cover" index, guiding users to add information specifically for introducing the book list. These instructions include the prompt "a. Add book list name," followed by an information editing box with the tag "Please enter book list name." After completing the information on the page and turning the page, or if the user actively turns the page, the following instructions will be displayed: Figure 3The page shown in (b) continues to supplement the content when generating a recommended video for the first book in the book list. It is easy to understand that for the two different objects, book lists and books, the corresponding video composition dimensions are different when generating recommended videos, and therefore the corresponding editing instructions are different.

[0052] In this approach, guide words can be used on each page to convey to the user the specific object to which the editing instructions displayed on that page are targeted, so that the user can clearly understand which object is being described and systematically add the corresponding description information of each object as video material.

[0053] In another possible approach, the editing instructions displayed on the topic creation page, across multiple video composition dimensions, could be selectively presented based on user needs. For instance, the user's creative needs within the recommended videos could be inferred from the specific scenario that triggered the generation of those videos.

[0054] For example, in the scenario where a recommended video is generated on the aforementioned topic creation page, based on the user's posted information such as "I strongly recommend these novels: Novel A by author A, and Novel B and Novel C by author B, which were released last year," we can first determine the books the user wants to recommend in this video creation, specifically "Novel A," "Novel B," and "Novel C." Based on these three confirmed books, we can first retrieve available video materials, such as the book titles, covers, and author introductions. However, some information remains uncertain, such as the corresponding book list title and the reasons for recommendation. Furthermore, the user may also add or remove other books from these three lists.

[0055] Based on this, when displaying it on the video creation page, for... Figure 3 For videos with the same structure as the examples, if the corresponding information is available, it will be displayed directly, and the corresponding editing instructions can be used to indicate whether to confirm or change this information. For information that cannot be obtained, it can be processed according to... Figure 3 In a similar manner, the system guides users to fill in further information by providing editing instructions.

[0056] For example, see Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of another video creation page provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 4 In the middle, regarding the first book, "Novel A", and Figure 3Unlike (b), since the book title, cover, and synopsis are available, the corresponding editing instructions can be omitted or replaced with the obtained information and the corresponding confirm or edit buttons. However, for the recommendation reason, this part requires the user to fill in the details themselves; therefore, the displayed editing instructions can be the same as (b). Figure 3 The same as (b).

[0057] Comparing the two methods above, it can be determined that on the video creation page, a better approach is to provide users with specific, selectable information to reduce the burden on users when searching for and collecting information.

[0058] Based on this, the embodiments of this disclosure also select the following two different methods to provide users with optional video materials:

[0059] (1): In response to the triggering operation of any editing instruction information, obtain at least one first reference material associated with the target book list under the video composition dimension corresponding to the editing instruction information; in response to the selection operation of the first reference material, use the selected first reference material as the target video material under the video composition dimension.

[0060] In this case, for example, see Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a third type of video creation page provided in this embodiment. Taking the selected video composition dimension, which includes the cover of video segment 1, as an example, the corresponding editing instructions may include a text box labeled "Please fill in the book synopsis," indicating that a book synopsis will be displayed on the cover. In response to triggering this text box, multiple first reference materials displayed at the bottom of the page can be shown, such as synopsis references for "Novel A" from different web pages. These first reference materials can be directly selected and used as target video materials in this video composition dimension, or they can be selected and edited, with the edited first reference materials used as target video materials.

[0061] (2): In response to receiving input information under any editing instruction information, based on the video composition dimension corresponding to the editing instruction information, determine multiple book description dimensions corresponding to the target book list, and determine the target book description dimension from the multiple book description dimensions based on the input information; obtain the book information under the target book description dimension from the target book list, and associate and display the book information with the input information.

[0062] In this case, we will first illustrate another example of a video creation page that can be provided under the embodiments of this disclosure. In this example, unlike the previous example, the editing instructions can be displayed in a simpler way, rather than the guided editing based on book lists and books as in the previous example. In this way, the flexibility of creating recommended videos can be improved, without being limited to providing multi-dimensional introductory content in the video creation page.

[0063] For example, see Figure 6 The image shown is an example diagram of the fourth type of video creation page provided in this embodiment of the disclosure. First, see... Figure 6 The page illustration shown in (a) illustrates an example where the editing instructions may consist of only a text box with the text "Enter the description you want to add to the book," instructing the user to describe the book below the cover of video segment 1. The user can type in the information they want to describe the book in the recommended video here.

[0064] Here, it can be determined that the editing instructions specifically correspond to the cover of video segment 1. Below the cover of video segment 1, multiple book description dimensions can be pre-defined, including the book title, cover, book synopsis, etc. If the input text includes "First, let me introduce 'Novel A'", then through semantic recognition, it can be determined that the user specifically wants to introduce "Novel A" on the cover, i.e., display the book synopsis. The book synopsis can then be used as the target book description dimension.

[0065] Then, information about the books listed in the target book list, corresponding to the description dimensions of the target books, can be retrieved and displayed in relation to them. Here, in one possible scenario, it can be done as follows: Figure 5 The suggested display method is shown below, or you can also use the following method: Figure 6 As shown in (b), the text is directly linked to the text entered by the user and displayed as a supplement; the details will not be elaborated here.

[0066] In this way, corresponding target video materials can be obtained under each video composition dimension. For example, the target video materials obtained under each video composition dimension may specifically include: video cover - book list name and book list introduction information; one video cover - cover and title of "Novel A", and corresponding video content - introduction of "Novel A"; one video cover - cover and title of "Novel B", and corresponding video content - introduction of "Novel B".

[0067] Regarding S102 above, after receiving the target video materials under each video composition dimension, the target video materials can be integrated according to the target video script to generate recommended videos corresponding to the target book list.

[0068] Here, the target video script specifically indicates the target video frame associated with each video composition dimension in the recommended videos. For example, for the video composition dimension of the video cover mentioned above, the specific associated target video frame is the first frame of the recommended video. In addition, the target video script is also used to indicate the display position of the target video material corresponding to the video composition dimension in the target video frame. For example, for the video cover, it can be displayed in full-screen magnification.

[0069] Thus, for each target video material obtained as described above, the corresponding video frame to be displayed, and its specific position within the video frame, can be determined based on the target video script. For example, see... Figure 7 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of multiple video frames under the recommended video provided in the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0070] The video begins with the first frame displaying the cover, shown in full screen, featuring the book list title "Recommended Novel Collection" and the description "Three highly recommended novels." Starting with the fifth frame, information about the first book is displayed, including its cover and title, specifically "Book A." From the eighth frame onwards, the corresponding video content is shown, including a brief introduction to "Novel A."

[0071] The above is just one possible video script; in practice, multiple scripts can be chosen. The differences between video scripts can be reflected in the content structure and arrangement. For example, in the example above, the book list is introduced first, followed by a detailed introduction of each book; however, in other possible approaches, multiple books can be compared and introduced without being separated into individual video segments. Furthermore, differences in video scripts can also be reflected in the display position of the target video footage, etc., which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0072] For multiple selectable video scripts, in specific implementation, the identification information corresponding to each of the multiple video scripts can be displayed. In response to the selection operation of the first identification information, a first preview video is generated based on the video script corresponding to the first identification information and the target video material composed of each video dimension. The first preview video is displayed, and in response to the switching selection operation of the second identification information, the second preview video under the video script corresponding to the second identification information is switched to be displayed.

[0073] For example, the differences that may exist between the video scripts described above can result in different styles under different video scripts, such as a reading style that focuses more on showcasing the content of the book, or a commentary style that focuses more on comparison, and so on.

[0074] Before generating recommended videos, users can preview the videos to determine if further modifications are needed, or to generate and publish them. During previewing, users can select one of several video scripts to generate a preview video. When providing multiple video scripts to users, this can be done by displaying identification information corresponding to each video script. Specifically, this identification information can be displayed using textual information such as "reading style" or "commentary style" as described above, or other optional methods; no limitation is made here.

[0075] After selecting any identifier, the selected first identifier can be used to generate and display a first preview video using the target video materials from each video dimension under the corresponding video script. The method for generating the preview video is detailed above and will not be repeated here. Furthermore, if the user is not satisfied with the preview video generated under the selected video script, they can switch to other available video scripts to view the corresponding preview videos.

[0076] Here, in order to enable users to get the desired result after watching fewer preview videos and reduce the computing resources consumed by generating multiple preview videos, we can determine the more suitable video script to select when generating recommended videos based on the target book list obtained in advance, and then recommend and display the corresponding identification information.

[0077] In specific implementation, the book list type of the target book list can be determined, and the video style matching the target book list can be determined based on the book list type; the book list type of the target book list is determined based on the book types corresponding to multiple books in the target book list; from multiple video scripts, a target video script matching the video style is determined, and the identification information corresponding to the target video script is recommended and displayed.

[0078] For example, since the video script is predetermined, the video style can also be predetermined. For instance, video styles could include "ancient style," "modern style," "lighthearted and humorous style," "tragic style," and so on. Different video styles can correspond to different characteristics of the books. For example, under the "ancient style," the characteristics of the books are more likely to match historical novels or ancient romance novels. Therefore, if multiple books on a target book list are of the ancient historical genre, it is more appropriate to select the video script corresponding to the "ancient style" rather than the video script corresponding to the "modern style."

[0079] Therefore, based on the determined target book list, we can first determine the book list type, which can be specifically determined by the book types corresponding to multiple books within it. The specific book type can be derived from its corresponding content characteristics. When determining content characteristics, we can refer to the video styles of the currently available video scripts, specifically which available types they favor. Based on the book list type, we can determine the corresponding video styles, and then determine the target video scripts corresponding to those styles for recommendation and display to users.

[0080] In the above example, the text and image content in the recommended video were specifically explained. However, the video composition dimension can also include a background audio dimension. When obtaining target video material under the background audio dimension, the following method can be used: In response to receiving an editing operation corresponding to the editing instruction information under the background audio dimension, determine the selected audio segment to be recorded from the background audio of the recommended video; play the currently generated preview video, and when playing to the video segment in the preview video corresponding to the audio segment to be recorded, receive the recorded audio for the audio segment to be recorded; update the audio segment to be recorded using the recorded audio to obtain the video material under the background audio dimension.

[0081] One possible approach is to select a piece of music as the background sound for the video, or users can input audio as background sound by recording it.

[0082] During the process of editing background music, users can select a segment of audio and re-record it. For example, see [link to example]. Figure 8 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of background music editing according to an embodiment of this disclosure. In this diagram, a preview video is displayed at the top, and a playback progress bar and total duration of the complete background music corresponding to the preview video are displayed at the bottom.

[0083] When previewing the video, you can access the page shown in the example by editing the instructions, such as the audio recording button. You can then mark the audio segment to be recorded by sliding along the playback progress bar, for example, the audio segment corresponding to 01:00-01:10 in the illustration. To record this audio and keep the video content synchronized with the audio recording instructions, you can first play the currently generated preview video and simultaneously receive the recording audio for the segment to be recorded. Specifically, you can long-press the record button to continuously record audio. Finally, update the recording audio segment with the newly recorded audio to obtain the video footage in the background sound dimension.

[0084] After completing the above steps, you can determine whether to generate a recommended video by checking the preview video.
