Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to data processing technology, and more particularly to a special effects processing method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In live shooting or live streaming scenarios, special effects are often added to enrich the video content. Currently, adjusting special effects is often required in live shooting or live streaming. If you want to switch to a different effect, you need to preview the effect beforehand before deciding whether to use it. However, this undoubtedly leads to a sudden increase in memory usage during live shooting or live streaming, which may cause stuttering and seriously affect the live shooting or live streaming process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This disclosure provides a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for generating media information materials to solve the problem of stuttering during real-time shooting or live streaming caused by additional memory required for special effects trials or poor effects during special effects trials.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a special effects processing method, the method comprising:

[0005] Upon receiving a request to try out special effects, the target image is sent to both the first and second processes.

[0006] The target image is processed in the first process according to the first parameter, which is the parameter used before receiving the special effects trial request;

[0007] The target image is processed in the second process according to the second parameter to preview the special effects. The second parameter is the special effect parameter corresponding to the special effects trial request.

[0008] Secondly, this disclosure also provides a special effects processing apparatus, which includes:

[0009] The image sending module is used to send the target image to the first process and the second process when a special effects trial request is received;

[0010] The first rendering module is used to process the target image in the first process according to the first parameter, which is the parameter used before receiving the special effects trial request;

[0011] The second rendering module is used to process the target image in the second process according to the second parameter in order to perform a preview of the special effects. The second parameter is the special effect parameter corresponding to the special effects preview request.

[0012] Thirdly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide an electronic device, the electronic device comprising:

[0013] One or more processors;

[0014] Storage device for storing one or more programs.

[0015] When the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors implement the special effects processing method described in any embodiment of this disclosure.

[0016] Fourthly, a storage medium containing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a computer processor, are used to perform the special effects processing method described in any embodiment of this disclosure.

[0017] The technical solution of this disclosure embodiment, upon receiving a special effects trial request, sends the target image to a first process and a second process. The target image is processed in the first process according to the first parameter and in the second process according to the second parameter to preview the special effects trial. The operation of processing the second parameter in the second process avoids the crash or black screen during the processing of the second parameter from affecting the tasks being executed by the first process, thereby solving the problem of interruption of ongoing live broadcast or real-time shooting due to the inability to use the special effects normally. In addition, the operation of processing the second parameter in the second process can also reduce the memory consumption of the first process, avoiding the interruption of ongoing live broadcast or real-time shooting due to a sudden doubling of the memory consumption of the first process, thus achieving efficient use of memory and smooth progress of real-time shooting or live broadcasting.

[0037] Figure 1a This is a flowchart illustrating a special effects processing method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment is applicable to situations where special effects adjustments are made in real-time shooting or live streaming scenarios. The method can be executed by a special effects processing device, which can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware. Optionally, it can be implemented by an electronic device, such as a mobile terminal, a PC, or a server.

[0038] like Figure 1a As shown, the special effects processing method in this embodiment includes:

[0039] S110. Upon receiving a request to try out special effects, the target image is sent to the first process and the second process.

[0040] Among them, the special effects trial request can be a request for special effects preview. The first process can be the current process of real-time shooting or live streaming, and the second process can be a process temporarily created for special effects trial. When the special effects trial request ends, the second process will also close. The target image can be data collected by the image acquisition device (camera).

[0041] Specifically, the first process controls the image acquisition device (such as a camera) to acquire the target image, sends the acquired target image to the first process, and then the first process sends the acquired target image across processes to the second process.

[0042] Optionally, before sending the target image to the first and second processes, the method further includes: in response to a first operation used to trigger the special effects trial task, creating a second process so that the special effects trial can be performed subsequently using the second process. This avoids the problem of excessive memory consumption caused by directly performing the special effects trial in the first process, and greatly reduces the memory consumption of the first process. The first operation includes a triggering operation on the identifier of the special effects trial request presented on the target page. The first and second processes are independent of each other in terms of special effects processing.

[0043] S120. Process the target image in the first process according to the first parameter, which is the parameter used before receiving the special effects trial request.

[0044] The first parameter can be the parameters used to render the target image before receiving the effect trial request. By performing the effect processing on the second parameter in the second process, the effect processing of the second parameter avoids the memory resources of the first process being consumed, which could lead to crashes or black screens and affect the tasks being executed by the first process. This solves the problem of interruptions to ongoing live streaming or real-time shooting caused by the inability to use the effect properly.

[0045] Optionally, processing the target image in a first process according to the first parameter includes: performing special effects processing on the target image in the first process according to the first parameter and rendering and displaying it on a target page, wherein the target page is a page created in the first process for rendering and displaying.

[0046] The first parameter can be a parameter used to process and render the target image before receiving the special effects trial request.

[0047] Specifically, the first process performs special effects processing on the target image according to the first parameter and renders and displays it on the target page. More specifically, it can be described as follows: after receiving a special effects trial request, the first process determines the first parameter to use; according to the first parameter, the first process performs a first special effects processing on the target image to obtain a first special effects image; and the first special effects image is rendered and displayed on the target page corresponding to the first process. The first special effects processing can be the process of effectively displaying the special effects on the target page.

[0048] The target page is the page created by the first process for rendering and display, such as the display screen during a live stream. The target page can have two screens: a larger screen to display the live stream and a smaller screen to display the effect parameters after they have been processed by the second process. The first parameter is the parameter used before receiving the effect trial request. That is, if no effect has been used before receiving the effect trial request, the first parameter does not include the effect parameters; if an effect has been used before receiving the effect trial request, the first parameter includes the previously used effect parameters.

[0049] Using the above scheme, the first parameter participates in the rendering and special effects processing of the target image in the first process, which already occupies a lot of memory resources. If the second parameter is used in the first process when the special effects are applied, the special effects processing of the second parameter will consume a lot of memory resources of the first process, causing crashes or black screens, which will affect the tasks being executed by the first process. Therefore, the special effects processing of the second parameter is performed in the second process to avoid the special effects processing of the second parameter occupying the memory resources of the first process.

[0050] The method of this application is applied to a first client. Further, the first special effects image is obtained by performing special effects processing on the target image in the first process and pushed to the server so that the server sends the first special effects image to the second client for rendering and display, so as to realize interaction with the user.

[0051] Optionally, a detailed explanation of the visuals displayed on the target page can be provided, as follows:

[0052] The target page displays a first screen and a second screen. The first screen is rendered and displayed simultaneously on the target page and other clients, while the second screen is rendered and displayed only on the target page. The first screen is rendered after processing the target image using the first parameter, and the second screen is rendered after processing the target image using the second parameter. The first and second screens on the target page can be displayed in a split-screen mode, a picture-in-picture mode, or the second screen can be overlaid on top of the first screen, and these modes can be freely switched according to usage requirements. For example, the first and second screens on the target page can be presented in at least three of the following ways:

[0053] The first scenario: The second screen is smaller than the first screen on the target page, and the second screen is displayed above the first screen. Figure 1b As shown;

[0054] The second method: The first screen is smaller than the second screen on the target page, and the first screen is displayed above the second screen, such as... Figure 1c As shown;

[0055] The third method: The first and second images are spliced ​​together and displayed on the target page. The size of the spliced ​​image on the target page is equal to the page size of the target page. Figure 1d and 1e As shown.

[0056] S130. The target image is processed in the second process according to the second parameter to perform a preview of the special effects.

[0057] The second parameter is the effect parameter corresponding to the effect trial request.

[0058] Optionally, the first parameter is the effect parameters originally used to achieve the first category of effects before receiving the effect trial request, and the second parameter is the effect parameters used to achieve the second category of effects after receiving the effect trial request. For example, the first parameter is the effect parameters originally used to achieve effect A before receiving the effect trial request, and the second parameter is the effect parameters used to achieve effect B after receiving the effect trial request.

[0059] Optionally, the target image is processed in a second process according to the second parameter, including: performing special effects processing on the target image in a second process according to the second parameter and rendering and displaying it on the target page.

[0060] Specifically, according to the second parameter, the target image is processed with special effects in a second process and rendered and displayed on the target page. More specifically, in response to a second operation for selecting special effect parameters after triggering a special effect trial request, a second parameter for the special effect trial is determined from multiple special effect parameters in the second process. Specifically, the second operation is a selection operation of the identifier of one of at least two special effect parameters presented on the target page. After determining the second parameter for the special effect trial after triggering the special effect trial request, the target image is processed with the second special effect according to the second parameter in the second process to obtain a second special effect image, which is then rendered and displayed on the target page.

[0061] The above solution processes the second effect parameter in the second process, rather than executing it in the first process of live streaming or real-time shooting. This reduces the memory consumption of the first process and prevents the ongoing live streaming or real-time shooting from being interrupted due to a sudden doubling of memory usage in the first process. Furthermore, it avoids situations where the processing of the second parameter may crash or cause a black screen, thus preventing the tasks being executed by the first process from being affected. This greatly reduces the occurrence of interruptions in ongoing live streaming or real-time shooting due to the inability to use the effect properly.

[0062] Furthermore, the second special effect image of the second process is rendered onto the target page corresponding to the first process through a preset display control. This allows for an effective preview of the special effect's display, thereby determining whether the special effect can be applied to the first process and whether it should be sent to the client. The preset display control is a control used to update the display page across processes. For example, the preset display control can be a remoteview rendering control.

[0063] Optionally, after performing special effects processing on the target image in the second process according to the second parameter and rendering and displaying it on the target page, the method further includes: in response to a third operation for confirming the adoption of the second parameter, closing the second process and adjusting the first parameter adopted by the first process to the second parameter, performing special effects processing on the target image in the first process according to the second parameter and rendering and displaying it on the target page.

[0064] The above process confirms that the second parameter can effectively display special effects without affecting live streaming or real-time shooting. Therefore, the first parameter used in the first process can be adjusted to the second parameter. The target image is then processed with special effects according to the second parameter in the first process and rendered on the target page to present a better display. Since the second process is no longer needed, it can be turned off, thus effectively avoiding additional memory consumption.

[0065] For example, the entire process of this application is described using live streaming as an example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, when a live streamer is using a live streaming device (phone or tablet) to stream and needs to switch effects, the live streamer clicks the "Effects Trial" button on the page to trigger the effects trial task. At this time, the camera on the live streaming device captures the target image and sends the target image to the first process and the second process.

[0066] The first process obtains the first parameter currently used by the first process, processes the target image with special effects according to the first parameter, and renders it onto the display screen of the live streaming device. At the same time, the first special effect image obtained by the first process of processing the target image with special effects is pushed to the server, so that the server distributes the first special effect image to the second client for rendering and display, so as to realize the interaction between the live streaming user and the viewing user.

[0067] After acquiring the target image, the second process receives the target effect specified by the live stream user and obtains the effect parameters, which are then used as the second parameter. The second process then processes the target image according to these parameters to obtain the second effect image, which is further rendered into the remoteview within the second process. This allows the remoteview to be used across processes to render the second effect image onto the remoteview in the first process, ultimately displaying it on the live streaming device's screen. This allows the live streaming device to observe whether the second parameter can be applied correctly. If a black screen or crash occurs, it indicates that the second parameter cannot be applied to the first process. This effectively avoids issues such as live stream interruptions caused by directly displaying effects in the first process. Furthermore, the preview process is displayed in the second process, effectively reducing memory consumption during the first process's live stream and improving the user experience.

[0068] After previewing and confirming that the second parameter is acceptable, the second process is closed and the first parameter used in the first process is adjusted to the second parameter. The target image is then processed with special effects in the first process according to the second parameter and rendered on the target page.

[0069] The technical solution of this disclosure embodiment, upon receiving a special effects trial request, sends the target image to a first process and a second process. Then, the target image is processed and rendered in the first process according to the first parameter, and simultaneously processed and rendered in the second process according to the second parameter, for a special effects trial preview. The aforementioned operation of processing the second parameter in the second process avoids crashes or black screens during the processing of the second parameter, which could affect the tasks being executed by the first process. This solves the problem of interruption of ongoing live streaming or real-time shooting due to the inability to use special effects normally. In addition, processing the second parameter in the second process can also reduce the memory consumption of the first process, preventing the interruption of ongoing live streaming or real-time shooting due to a sudden doubling of memory consumption by the first process. This achieves efficient memory utilization and smooth operation of real-time shooting or live streaming.
