[0030] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for exemplary purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0031] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example Interaction

[0033] The following will refer to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2H To describe some example interaction processes according to embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2A to FIG. 2H Example interfaces 200A to 200H according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Interfaces 200A to 200H may be composed of, for example, Figure 1 The electronic device 110 is provided as shown.

[0034] like Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 200A, for example. The interface 200A may be an editing interface for the live photo 205. As an example, the electronic device 110 may receive a user's editing request for the live photo 205, and may display the following accordingly: Figure 2A Editing interface 200A is shown.

[0035] like Figure 2AAs shown, the editing interface 200A may include a preview area 210. The preview area 210 may, for example, present the editing result of the Live Photo 205. In some embodiments, the preview area 210 may, for example, initially present the cover editing result of the cover image of the Live Photo 205. It should be understood that such cover editing result includes an unedited cover image.

[0036] like Figure 2A As shown, the interface 200A may also include one or more editing components to support editing operations for the live image 205. As an example, the interface 200A may include a track component 215 corresponding to the live photo 205. As shown, the track component 215 may display at least part of the image frames of the multiple video frames of the live photo 205.

[0037] Further, the electronic device 110 may receive an endpoint adjustment operation on the track component 215, and may adjust the length of the live photo 205 based on the endpoint adjustment operation. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may receive, for example, a right move operation on the left endpoint of the track component 215 and / or a left move operation on the right endpoint, and crop the live photo 205 accordingly.

[0038] In addition, if Figure 2B As shown, the electronic device 110 may also receive a selection of a target image frame 220 in at least a portion of the image frames displayed by the track component 215, and may present a cover setting portal accordingly. Accordingly, the electronic device 110 may receive a user's selection of the cover setting portal, and may set the selected target image frame 220 as the cover image of the live photo 205.

[0039] Additionally, in response to the target image frame 220 being set as the cover image of the live photo, the electronic device 110 may also present a restoration entry (e.g., “Restore default cover”) in the interface 200B. Further, the electronic device 110 may receive a selection of the restoration entry and may restore the initial cover image of the live photo 205.

[0040] In the case where the cover image is replaced or restored, the preview area 210 may, for example, update the displayed cover image accordingly.

[0041] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also support the user to edit the cover image and / or multiple image frames of the live photo 205. Figure 2C As shown, the electronic device 110 may present a group of candidate media resources, such as template resources 225 , in the editing interface 200C.

[0042] The following will take the template resource 225 as an example of a media resource to describe an example process of using media resources to edit the live photo 205. In some embodiments, such media resources may also include sticker resources, filter resources, special effect resources, etc.

[0043] Further, the electronic device 110 may receive a user's selection of the template resource 225, and may apply the target media resource 225 to the cover image and / or multiple image frames of the live photo 205. Further, after receiving a request to apply the template resource 225, the electronic device 110 may apply the effect corresponding to the template resource 225 to the cover image and / or multiple image frames of the live photo 205. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may apply the first effect indicated by the template resource 225 to the multiple image frames, and the electronic device 110 may apply the second effect indicated by the template resource 225 to the cover image. In some embodiments, the first effect and the second effect may be the same effect.

[0044] In other embodiments, the first effect may be different from the second effect. For example, the template resource 225 may specify a specific effect applied to the cover image, and may specify another effect applied to multiple image frames.

[0045] As an example, the electronic device 110 may provide media resources specific to the Live Photo. Figure 2D As shown, the electronic device 110 may provide media resources specific to the Live Photo, such as special effect resources 230. Further, the electronic device 110 may receive a selection of the special effect resources 230 and may trigger the application of the special effect resources 230 to the Live Photo. In some embodiments, the special effect resources 230 may, for example, specify different processing effects for the cover image and multiple image frames, respectively.

[0046] Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure may support editing of multiple image frames in a live photo, and may support separate editing of a cover image and multiple image frames, thereby improving the efficiency and flexibility of editing live photos.

[0047] In some embodiments, the template resource 225 may also indicate a first transition effect from the cover image to a starting image frame in the plurality of image frames. Alternatively or additionally, the template resource 225 may also indicate a second transition effect from an ending image frame in the plurality of image frames to the cover image.

[0048] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure may also support editing the switching effect of the Live Photo 205 between presenting the cover image switching and playing the image frame.

[0049] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also receive a picture adjustment request via the editing interface. Further, the electronic device 110 may apply at least one adjustment parameter corresponding to the picture adjustment request to the cover image and / or multiple image frames of the live photo 205 .

[0050] like Figure 2E As shown, the electronic device 110 can support providing a portrait adjustment component and can receive a portrait adjustment request for a live photo. Accordingly, the electronic device 110 can present a Figure 2F The parameter configuration controls shown are used to support the electronic device 110 to modify the adjustment parameters.

[0051] Additionally, if Figure 2G As shown, the electronic device 110 may also support adding various types of sticker materials to the live photo, such as graphic stickers or text stickers, etc. Accordingly, such sticker materials may be added to multiple image frames of the live photo, for example.

[0052] As mentioned above, the preview area 210 may, for example, present the cover editing result of the cover image. Figure 2H As shown, the electronic device 110 may also receive a first operation associated with the preview area 210 , and may accordingly play multiple image frames of the live photo 205 to display the editing results of the multiple image frames.

[0053] As an example, the first operation may include a long press operation on the preview area 210. For example, the user may trigger the playback of multiple image frames of the live photo 205 by long pressing the preview area 210 or the cover image.

[0054] As another example, the first operation may also include a triggering operation for a play control in the preview area. For example, the user may trigger the playing of multiple image frames of the live photo 205 by clicking a play button in the preview area 210 .

[0055] It is understandable that when a display instruction is received, the editing interface 200 is displayed, or the live photo 205 is imported, multiple image frames of the live photo 205 are played once by default, and after the playback is completed, the preview area 210 can automatically switch back to displaying the cover image. If the user wants to play the live photo 205 again, it can be implemented through, for example, the first operation.

[0056] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also present a progress indication element 235 in the preview area 210 accordingly to indicate the playback progress of the multiple image frames.

[0057] Further, in response to the first operation ending or the multiple image frames being played, the electronic device 110 may switch the preview area 210 to display the cover editing result of the cover image of the live photo. For example, if the user ends the long press operation or the multiple image frames are played, the preview area 210 may automatically switch back to displaying the cover image.

[0058] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support providing a consistent interactive experience in the preview area of ​​the editing interface, thereby reducing the user's interactive learning cost and improving editing efficiency.

[0059] In some embodiments, when multiple image frames are updated based on the media resources described above, the preview area 210 can update the editing results of the multiple image frames accordingly to facilitate the user to perceive the effects of the media resources corresponding to the multiple image frames.

[0060] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present disclosure may also support editing of live photos through a track editor. Specifically, the live photo may be associated with a first media segment and a second media segment in the track editor, wherein the first media segment corresponds to a cover image, and the second media segment corresponds to a plurality of image frames.

[0061] As an example, the first media segment may have a preset time length, and the second media segment may correspond to a time length of a plurality of image frames.

[0062] Further, when an editing operation associated with a live photo is received via the editing interface, an editing track corresponding to the target type of the editing operation can be determined from the track editor. For example, such editing tracks may include special effects tracks, sticker tracks, filter tracks, and lights.

[0063] Furthermore, a first effect segment corresponding to the first media segment and / or a second effect segment corresponding to the second media segment can be created in the editing track. Thus, the embodiments of the present disclosure can implement the application of the same or different effects to the cover image and multiple image frames, thereby improving the flexibility of live image editing.

[0064] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide the editing capability of the live photo, and can support playing the live photo in the preview area to view the editing results of the cover image and multiple image frames. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the editing efficiency of the live photo.
