Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of video editing technology, and in particular to a video editing method, apparatus, device, storage medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when editing video drafts using video editing software, transition effects are often added between two adjacent segments of the video draft to improve its display effect.

[0003] In related technologies, to avoid clips obscuring transition effects, a maximum index value is first set, for example, 100. Then, the display levels of clips are sorted from low to high in a forward order, while the display levels of transitions are sorted from high to low in a reverse order. This ensures that the display level of transitions is higher than that of clips.

[0004] However, the inventors have discovered at least the following technical problems in the related technology: when the number of segments and transition effects included in the video draft is large, the display level of the transition effects may be lower than the display level of the segments, resulting in display level disorder. Therefore, the stability of the above video editing method is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This disclosure provides a method, apparatus, device, storage medium, and program product for video editing, which can improve the stability of the video editing method.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a video editing method, including:

[0007] In response to a clip addition operation, a first clip is added to the edit track, wherein the display level of the preceding clip is lower than that of the following clip in two adjacent clips on the edit track;

[0008] In response to a first clip and a second clip being adjacent on an editing track and the second clip being located after the first clip on a timeline, a transition editing icon is added between the first clip and the second clip, and the display level of the transition editing icon is bound to the same display level as the display level of the second clip;

[0009] In response to a first clip and a second clip being adjacent on an editing track and the second clip being preceding the first clip on a timeline, a transition editing icon is added between the first clip and the second clip, and the display level of the transition editing icon is bound to the same display level as the display level of the first clip.

[0010] Secondly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a video editing apparatus, comprising:

[0011] An add unit is used to add a first material fragment on an edit track in response to a fragment add operation, wherein the display level of the preceding material fragment is lower than the display level of the following material fragment among two adjacent material fragments on the edit track;

[0012] A video editing unit is configured to, in response to a first clip and a second clip being adjacent on an editing track and the second clip being located after the first clip on a timeline, add a transition editing icon between the first clip and the second clip, and bind the display level of the transition editing icon to the same display level as the display level of the second clip;

[0013] The video editing unit is also configured to, in response to a first clip and a second clip being adjacent on the editing track and the second clip being located before the first clip on the timeline, add a transition editing icon between the first clip and the second clip, and bind the display level of the transition editing icon to the same display level as the display level of the first clip.

[0014] Thirdly, embodiments of this disclosure provide an electronic device, including: a processor and a memory;

[0015] The memory stores computer-executed instructions;

[0016] The processor executes computer execution instructions stored in the memory, causing the at least one processor to perform the video editing method as described in the first aspect and various possible designs of the first aspect.

[0017] Fourthly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the video editing method described in the first aspect and various possible designs of the first aspect.

[0018] Fifthly, embodiments of this disclosure provide a computer program product, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the video editing method described in the first aspect and various possible designs of the first aspect.

[0019] This embodiment provides a video editing method, apparatus, device, storage medium, and program product. The method includes: in response to a clip addition operation, adding a first clip on an editing track, wherein the display level of the preceding clip is lower than the display level of the following clip in two adjacent clips on the editing track; in response to the first clip and a second clip being adjacent on the editing track and the second clip being after the first clip on the timeline, adding a transition editing icon between the first clip and the second clip, and binding the display level of the transition editing icon to the same display level as the display level of the second clip; in response to the first clip and a second clip being adjacent on the editing track and the second clip being before the first clip on the timeline, adding a transition editing icon between the first clip and the second clip, and binding the display level of the transition editing icon to the same display level as the display level of the first clip. In this technical solution, because the transition editing icon is bound to the same display layer as the subsequent clip, and the display layer of the subsequent clip is higher, the transition editing icon can be prevented from being covered by the previous clip. Furthermore, the display layers of the transition editing icon and the clip are not affected by the index value range. Thus, when there are many clips, the display layer of the transition effect will not be lower than the display layer of the clip, thereby avoiding layer disorder and improving the stability of the video editing method.

[0031] 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 some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0032] It should be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) involved in one or more embodiments of this specification are all information and data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties. Furthermore, the collection, use and processing of related data must comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards, and corresponding operation entry points are provided for users to choose to authorize or refuse.

[0033] Currently, when editing video drafts using video editing software, transition effects are often added between two adjacent segments of the video draft to improve its display effect.

[0034] In related technologies, to avoid clips obscuring transition effects, a maximum index value is first set, for example, 100. Then, the display levels of clips are sorted from low to high in a forward order, while the display levels of transitions are sorted from high to low in a reverse order. This ensures that the display level of transitions is higher than that of clips. Specifically, clips with higher display levels overlap clips with those with lower display levels.

[0035] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the video draft includes clip 1, clip 2, and clip 3. Transition effect 1 is added between clip 1 and clip 2; transition effect 2 is added between clip 2 and clip 3. The display hierarchy of clips 1, 2, and 3, from lowest to highest, is: 1, 2, 3. The display hierarchy of transition effect 1 and transition effect 2, from highest to lowest, is: 100, 99. This ensures that the display hierarchy of the transitions is higher than that of the clips.

[0036] However, the inventors have discovered at least the following technical problems in the related technology: when the number of segments and transition effects included in the video draft is large, the display level of the transition effects may be lower than the display level of the segments, resulting in display level disorder. Therefore, the stability of the above video editing method is poor.

[0037] To address the technical problems in the existing technology, the inventor's technical concept is as follows: The display level of the transition editing icon is bound to the display level of the subsequent segment, forming a unified structure. Since the display level of the preceding segment is lower than that of the following segment in an editing track, while the display level of the transition editing icon is the same as and higher than that of the preceding segment, the transition editing icon covers the preceding segment without being covered by it.

[0038] Accordingly, the specific steps may include: First, in response to a clip addition operation, adding a first clip on the editing track, wherein the display level of the preceding clip is lower than the display level of the following clip among two adjacent clips on the editing track. Then, in response to the first clip being adjacent to a second clip on the editing track and the second clip being after the first clip on the timeline, adding a transition editing icon between the first and second clips, and binding the display level of the transition editing icon to the same display level as the second clip. Finally, in response to the first clip being adjacent to a second clip on the editing track and the second clip being before the first clip on the timeline, adding a transition editing icon between the first and second clips, and binding the display level of the transition editing icon to the same display level as the first clip. In this technical solution, since the transition editing icon is bound to the same display layer as the subsequent clip, and the display layer of the subsequent clip is higher, the transition editing icon can be prevented from being covered by the previous clip. Furthermore, the display layers of the transition editing icon and the clip are not affected by the index value range. Thus, when there are many clips, the display layer of the transition effect will not be lower than the display layer of the clip, thereby avoiding layer confusion and improving the stability of the video editing method.

[0039] The following describes the specific implementation process of the video editing method and device involved in the embodiments of this disclosure. Some examples are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope. The execution subject of the video editing method involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is an electronic device, which may be a terminal, server, etc.

[0040] Figure 2 Flowchart of the video editing method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure Figure 1 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the video editing method may include:

[0041] S201. In response to the clip addition operation, add a first clip on the editing track, wherein the display level of the first clip is lower than the display level of the second clip in two adjacent clips on the editing track.

[0042] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the material fragments may be video fragments or image fragments.

[0043] Optionally, the source material is a video clip; when editing the video draft, video clips can be added or deleted. The editing track allows editing of one or more clips in the video draft, such as adding effects or cutting / editing the clips.

[0044] The display hierarchy of a clip indicates its display priority. Clips with higher display hierarchies over clips with lower display hierarchies.

[0045] In some embodiments, two clips on an edit track being adjacent means that the end time of the previous clip coincides with the start time of the next clip.

[0046] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 As shown, after adding the first clip to the editing track, it can be determined whether a second clip adjacent to the first clip exists. If it exists, a transition editing icon is added via step S202 or step S203; otherwise, no transition editing icon is added.

[0047] S202, In response to the first clip and the second clip being adjacent on the editing track and the second clip being after the first clip on the timeline, a transition editing icon is added between the first clip and the second clip, and the display level of the transition editing icon is bound to the same display level as the display level of the second clip.

[0048] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the fact that the first material segment and the second material segment are adjacent and the second material segment is located after the first material segment on the timeline means that the end time of the first material segment and the start time of the second material segment coincide on the timeline.

[0049] In some embodiments, the transition editing icon can represent the transition state between the first and second clips (with or without a transition), and can also be used to implement editing operations such as adding, deleting, and updating transitions. Optionally, in response to the triggering of the transition editing icon, options to add, delete, and update transitions are displayed. In this case, the editing operations of adding, deleting, and updating transitions can be implemented through these options.

[0050] In this embodiment of the disclosure, since the display level of the transition editing icon is bound to the display level of the second material segment to the same display level, and the display level of the second material segment is higher than the display level of the first material segment, the transition editing icon can be prevented from being covered by the first material segment.

[0051] S203. In response to the first clip and the second clip being adjacent on the editing track and the second clip being located before the first clip on the timeline, a transition editing icon is added between the first clip and the second clip, and the display level of the transition editing icon is bound to the same display level as the display level of the first clip.

[0052] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the first material segment and the second material segment are adjacent on the editing track and the second material segment is located before the first material segment on the timeline: the start time of the first material segment coincides with the end time of the second material segment on the timeline.

[0053] In this embodiment of the disclosure, since the display level of the transition editing icon is bound to the display level of the first material segment to the same display level, and the display level of the first material segment is higher than the display level of the second material segment, the transition editing icon can be prevented from being covered by the second material segment.

[0054] This disclosure provides a video editing method: First, in response to a clip addition operation, a first clip is added to an editing track, wherein the display level of the preceding clip is lower than the display level of the following clip in two adjacent clips on the editing track. Then, in response to the first clip and a second clip being adjacent on the editing track and the second clip being after the first clip on the timeline, a transition editing icon is added between the first and second clips, and the display level of the transition editing icon is bound to the same display level as the display level of the second clip. In response to the first clip and a second clip being adjacent on the editing track and the second clip being before the first clip on the timeline, a transition editing icon is added between the first and second clips, and the display level of the transition editing icon is bound to the same display level as the display level of the first clip. In this technical solution, since the transition editing icon is bound to the same display layer as the subsequent clip, and the display layer of the subsequent clip is higher, the transition editing icon can be prevented from being covered by the previous clip. Furthermore, the display layers of the transition editing icon and the clip are not affected by the index value range. Thus, when there are many clips, the display layer of the transition effect will not be lower than the display layer of the clip, thereby avoiding layer confusion and improving the stability of the video editing method.

[0055] In some embodiments, the transition editing icon is used to perform editing operations such as adding, deleting, and updating transitions. It's important to note that to avoid transition effects affecting the content of the clip itself, the transition duration needs to be controlled. If the transition duration is a significant portion of the clip's length, adding a transition can be refused.

[0056] In some embodiments, the duration of a newly added transition can be set to be no more than a preset multiple of the segment duration. Optionally, when adding a transition, the duration of the newly added transition is no more than half the segment duration. Accordingly, as... Figure 4 As shown, the method also includes:

[0057] S401. In response to an add transition operation triggered by a transition editing icon, determine the transition duration of the transition, the duration of the first clip, and the duration of the second clip.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, before adding a transition operation, the transition editing icon is in a no-transition state.

[0059] S402. If half the duration of the first clip is greater than or equal to the transition duration and half the duration of the second clip is greater than or equal to the transition duration, then add a transition between the first clip and the second clip, and update the transition editing icon to show a transition.

[0060] For example, the transition editing icon has a transition status such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0061] S403. If half the duration of the first clip is less than the transition duration, or half the duration of the second clip is less than the transition duration, then refuse to add a transition.

[0062] In some embodiments, after a cut operation is performed on the first media clip, it is necessary to re-determine whether the transition duration is less than half the duration of the first media clip. Accordingly, the method further includes: in response to the cut operation on the first media clip, determining the media clip duration of the first media clip after the cut operation; if half the media clip duration of the first media clip after the cut operation is less than the transition duration, then deleting the transition between the first media clip and the second media clip, and updating the transition editing icon to a no-transition state.

[0063] For example, the transition editing icon in its no-transition state is as follows: Figure 5 As shown.

[0064] In other embodiments, after cutting the second footage segment, it is necessary to re-determine whether the transition duration is less than half the duration of the second footage segment. Accordingly, the method further includes: in response to the cutting operation on the second footage segment, determining the segment duration of the second footage segment after the cutting operation; if half the segment duration of the second footage segment after the cutting operation is less than the transition duration, then deleting the transition between the first and second footage segments, and updating the transition editing icon to a no-transition state editing icon.

[0065] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the transition duration constitutes a significant portion of the footage clip's length, adding or deleting the transition is permissible. This prevents the transition effect from negatively impacting the content of the footage clip itself, thereby increasing the flexibility of the video editing method.

[0066] In some embodiments, the display level of a transition is bound to the same display level as the display level of the latter of two adjacent clips. When a clip is added between two adjacent clips, the transition effect can be set to move with the latter clip.

[0067] Optionally, the method further includes: responding to adding a third clip between two adjacent clips, wherein a first transition is added between the two adjacent clips, and the display level of the first transition is bound to the same display level as the display level of the latter clip among the two adjacent clips; moving the first transition between the third clip and the latter clip among the two adjacent clips; and adding a transition editing icon between the former clip and the third clip among the two adjacent clips, and binding the display level of the transition editing icon to the same display level as the display level of the third clip.

[0068] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, two adjacent segments include segment 1 and segment 2. There is a first transition between segment 1 and segment 2, and the display level of the first transition is bound to the same display level as segment 2. When segment 3 is added between segment 1 and segment 2, the first transition moves along with segment 2. At this time, the first transition is located between segment 3 and segment 2. Simultaneously, a transition editing icon is added between segment 1 and segment 3, and the display level of the transition editing icon is bound to the same display level as segment 3.

[0069] In some embodiments, when a segment is deleted, the transitions bound to that segment are also deleted. Accordingly, the method further includes: in response to a deletion operation for any media segment, determining whether the media segment has a transition bound to the same display level; if so, deleting the media segment and the transition.

[0070] Optionally, there are adjacent first, second, and third material clips on the editing track, and a first transition is added between the first and second material clips, and a second transition is added between the second and third material clips; the method further includes: deleting the third material clip and the second transition in response to a deletion operation on the third material clip.

[0071] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, two adjacent segments include segment 1 and segment 2. There is a first transition between segment 1 and segment 2, and the display level of the first transition is bound to the same display level as the display level of segment 2. When segment 2 is deleted, the first transition bound to the same display level as segment 2 is also deleted.

[0072] In some embodiments, when deleting a clip, the transition between the clip and an adjacent clip may also be deleted. Accordingly, the method further includes: in response to a deletion operation for any clip, determining whether there is an adjacent clip following the clip on the timeline; if so, deleting the transition between the clip and the adjacent clip.

[0073] Optionally, there are adjacent first material clips, second material clips, and third material clips on the editing track, and a first transition is added between the first material clip and the second material clip, and a second transition is added between the second material clip and the third material clip; the method further includes: deleting the first material clip and the first transition in response to a deletion operation on the first material clip.

[0074] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the three adjacent segments are segment 1, segment 2, and segment 3. There is a transition 1 between segment 1 and segment 2, and a transition 2 between segment 2 and segment 3. When segment 1 is deleted, the transition 1 between segment 1 and segment 2 is also deleted.

[0075] In some embodiments, when deleting a segment, it can be determined whether there are adjacent segments before and after the segment. If there are adjacent segments, the transition between the segment and the adjacent segment following the segment is not deleted. The transition is then applied to the two adjacent segments. Accordingly, the method further includes: in response to a deletion operation for any material segment, determining whether there are adjacent material segments before and after the material segment on the timeline; if there are adjacent material segments, deleting the material segment and binding the transition to the material segment following the material segment to the same display level, moving it between the material segment before and the material segment following the material segment.

[0076] Optionally, there are adjacent first, second, and third material clips on the editing track, and a first transition is added between the first and second material clips, and a second transition is added between the second and third material clips; the method further includes: in response to a deletion operation on the second material clip, deleting the second material clip and the first transition, and moving the second transition between the first and third material clips.

[0077] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, the three adjacent segments are segment 1, segment 2, and segment 3. There is a transition 1 between segment 1 and segment 2, and a transition 2 between segment 2 and segment 3. When segment 2 is deleted, the transition 1 between segment 1 and segment 2 is also deleted. The transition 2 between segment 2 and segment 3 is not deleted; instead, it applies to the transition between segment 1 and segment 3.
