However, further improvements are needed to enhance the ability to continue editing or generating media content in the creation areas. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In a first aspect of this document, a method for media editing is provided. The method includes: presenting first media content in a creation area; in response to receiving a first operation, presenting at least one identifier in a first component, the first operation being for selecting at least one image of the first media content, the at least one identifier corresponding to at least one image; and in response to receiving a second operation in the first component, presenting at least one image in the creation area.

[0004] In a second aspect of this document, a media editing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes: a first presentation module for presenting first media content in a creation area; a first receiving module for presenting at least one identifier in a first component in response to receiving a first operation, the first operation being for selecting at least one image of the first media content, the at least one identifier corresponding to at least one image; and a second presentation module for presenting at least one image in the creation area in response to receiving a second operation in the first component.

[0005] In a third aspect of this document, an electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes: at least one processor; and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions for execution by the at least one processor, the instructions causing the electronic device to perform the method according to the first aspect of this document when executed by the at least one processor.

[0006] In a fourth aspect of this document, a computer-readable storage medium is provided having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, which can be executed by a processor to implement the method according to the first aspect of this document.

[0031] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which the examples in this paper can be implemented is shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, environment 100 may include electronic device 110. Electronic device 110 may run application 120 that supports media editing. Application 120 may be, for example, a canvas-based content creation application used to present, edit, and generate media content in the creation area.

[0032] User 140 can interact with application 120 through electronic device 110. For example, user 140 can add media content in the creation area provided by application 120 and initiate various operations on the media content. Electronic device 110 can display interface 150 through application 120. Interface 150 can be any interface provided by application 120, such as an editing interface including the creation area. Example forms of interface 150 will be described below. Figures 2A to 3CFurther description.

[0033] Electronic device 110 can communicate with server 130. Server 130 can provide backend support for application 120, such as video decoding and frame capture, uploading and asynchronous filling of screen resources, calculation of presentation position, generation of names, and other processing.

[0034] Electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, handheld computers, portable gaming terminals, virtual reality (VR) / augmented reality (AR) devices, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some cases, electronic device 110 may also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0035] Server 130 can be a single physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks, and artificial intelligence platforms. Server 130 may include, for example, computing systems / servers such as mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in a cloud environment, etc. Server 130 can provide backend services for media editing applications 120 in electronic devices 110.

[0036] A communication connection can be established between server 130 and electronic device 110. This communication connection can be established via wired or wireless means. The communication connection can include, but is not limited to, Bluetooth, mobile network, Universal Serial Bus (USB), and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connections. In some cases, server 130 and electronic device 110 can exchange signaling information through their communication connection.

[0037] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the scheme.

[0038] The following description of the example will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] The examples described herein can be implemented on electronic device 110. It should be noted that the operations described relative to electronic device 110 can be performed by a related application 120 running on electronic device 110. The interface described relative to electronic device 110 can be provided by application 120; for example, electronic device 110 presents the corresponding interface by running application 120. Furthermore, some operations described relative to electronic device 110 may require the assistance of server 130 to complete.

[0040] As mentioned above, in some content creation applications, the creation process can take place in a canvas-style creation area. Each piece of material uploaded or generated by the user, such as video, image, text, and audio, can be presented on the canvas as nodes. Nodes can be connected to express the upstream and downstream relationships between the materials, such as the context index relationship of which node a certain node was generated from. Users can complete the entire process from material to generation and then continue creating based on the generated result on the canvas.

[0041] For video nodes on the canvas, solutions typically treat the video as a whole, such as sending the entire video for video editing, trimming, frame interpolation, and image enhancement. However, when a user needs to use a still frame from the video as source material—for example, using the last frame of the previous video as a transition frame for the next video, or using a satisfactory frame from the middle of the video as a reference image for further generation—solutions often struggle to directly obtain that frame within the canvas.

[0042] In related solutions, users often need to use tools other than the canvas to capture the playback screen, and then re-upload the captured screen to the canvas to form a new image node; or they need to place the video in a later editing process such as the timeline, and locate and export the screen by previewing frame by frame.

[0043] The above approach presents several difficulties. Firstly, it's challenging to directly and accurately extract the start frame, end frame, or any single frame corresponding to any given time point from the video within the canvas. Frequently used transitions like start and end frames lack dedicated support. Secondly, a single operation typically yields only one frame. If a user needs multiple frames from multiple time points, they must repeatedly perform the entire process of locating, capturing, and uploading, resulting in low efficiency and a lengthy operation path. Furthermore, image nodes obtained by capturing and uploading using external tools lack a connection to the original video nodes and lack a unified naming convention. Users struggle to trace the image's origin from a specific video node or frame, making it difficult to locate the source material during subsequent generation. Moreover, users are forced to leave the canvas and use external tools, disrupting the material acquisition and generation processes and interfering with the creative process.

[0044] A media editing scheme is proposed. According to the scheme, first media content is presented in a creation area. In response to receiving a first operation, at least one identifier is presented in a first component, wherein the first operation is used to select at least one image of the first media content, and the at least one identifier corresponds to at least one image. In response to receiving a second operation in the first component, at least one image is presented in the creation area.

[0045] Through the above solution, users can directly select one or more images from the first media content within the creation area, and the selected images will be displayed in the creation area without leaving the creation area to obtain the images using other tools. This alleviates the difficulties of long image acquisition paths and interruptions in the creation process. Since at least one image can be batch-presented in the creation area through a single second operation, the electronic device does not need to perform a complete acquisition process for each image separately, thus reducing the number of interactive processing steps and data transmission steps. Consequently, the image acquisition processing time is shortened, and processing efficiency is improved.

[0046] The following describes various examples of this scheme in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] In some cases, the above solution can be implemented collaboratively across three levels: functional entry point, capture interaction, and image organization. At the functional entry point level, a capture entry point can be provided in the second component associated with the selected video node, offering three capture methods: start frame, end frame, and custom. The start and end frames can be prioritized as primary options, generating results directly without secondary interaction upon triggering. At the capture interaction level, the first component can be opened via a custom option. This component provides a player, track, timeline, capture controls, captured area, and confirmation controls, allowing users to locate and continuously capture at any time point using a combination of clicks and drags. At the image organization level, after confirmation, each captured frame can be placed into a separate image node in the creation area. Placeholders are used to initially occupy the space, which is then asynchronously filled into the screen. Images in the same batch are submitted to the user as a first prompt in the form of a selection box. Each image is linked to its source video element and named according to a unified rule. Examples of each level will be described in detail below with corresponding accompanying figures.

[0048] In some scenarios, the various processes related to capture can be performed by different entities. For example, the process of extracting the frame at a specific time point from the video can be performed solely by electronic device 110, such as by electronic device 110 decoding the video locally and reading the frame at the corresponding time point. Alternatively, this process can also be performed solely by server 130, such as by electronic device 110 sending the information of the corresponding time point to server 130, which then decodes and extracts the frames and returns the frame data to electronic device 110. Alternatively, this process can also be performed jointly by electronic device 110 and server 130, such as by electronic device 110 handling interface presentation and operation reception, while server 130 handles uploading and filling frame resources, calculating presentation positions, and generating names. The scope of the solution is not limited in this respect.

[0049] The following examples illustrate the practical performance of this solution. In one example, when creating content that seamlessly connects multiple video segments, the user can quickly capture the ending frame of the previous video segment as an image and use that image as a reference to generate the next video segment, resulting in a natural transition between the two segments. In another example, while browsing a video, if a user is satisfied with a particular moment in the video, they can capture that moment as an image and use it as reference material to continue generating images or videos. In yet another example, a user can capture multiple moments in the video at once and select several satisfactory frames for subsequent creation. It should be understood that the above application scenarios are merely illustrative and not restrictive.

[0050] Figure 2AA schematic diagram is shown of an interface 200A that presents the first media content 202 and the second component 204 according to certain scenarios. See below for reference. Figure 2A This describes the process of presenting primary media content and providing an entry point for image capture in the creative area.

[0051] like Figure 2A As shown, the electronic device 110 can display an interface 200A. Interface 200A can be... Figure 1 The illustrated interface 150 represents one implementation. Interface 200A may include a creation area 200. The creation area 200 may be, for example, a canvas-like editing area used to carry various media nodes and the connections between them. It should be noted that the creation area 200 refers to the creation area itself, while interfaces 200A to 200L (described below) refer to the implementation forms of the interface containing the creation area 200 and its components at different interaction stages; the two are at different levels.

[0052] In the creation area 200, the electronic device 110 can display first media content 202. The first media content 202 may be, for example, a video node on a canvas.

[0053] In some cases, the first media content 202 may be generated by an intelligent system. In other cases, the first media content 202 may be uploaded by a user or obtained through other means.

[0054] Related to the first media content 202, the electronic device 110 can also display the name 201 of the first media content 202. Figure 2A In the example, name 201 is shown as "First Media Content". Name 201 can be used as a prefix for the names of subsequent images captured by First Media Content 202, as will be discussed below. Figure 2I Further description.

[0055] In some cases, in response to the selection of the first media content 202, such as in response to a click operation by user 140 on the first media content 202, the electronic device 110 may display a second component 204 associated with the first media content 202. For example, the second component 204 may appear as a floating toolbar above the first media content 202. The second component 204 may include one or more functional items, such as image enhancement, video editing, frame extraction, frame interpolation, video trimming, etc.

[0056] The second component 204 may include a frame capture control 206. The frame capture control 206 can be used to expand options for image capture methods. For example, the frame capture control 206 may have a drop-down arrow on its right side to indicate the presence of expandable options. The options expanded after the frame capture control 206 is triggered will be described below. Figure 2B describe.

[0057] In some cases, the second component 204 may be presented when a single video node is selected. For example, if multiple video nodes are selected simultaneously, the electronic device 110 may not provide an entry point for image capture.

[0058] In this way, the image capture entry point is directly provided in the second component 204 associated with the first media content 202 selected in the creation area. Users can initiate image capture locally while browsing and editing canvas content, without leaving the creation area to find other tools. This alleviates the difficulties of image acquisition requiring cross-tool travel and interruptions in the creation process, as in related solutions. Since the capture entry point is directly associated with the video node, the electronic device 110 does not need to load a separate functional page to house this entry point, reducing page load counts and rendering overhead. Furthermore, since this entry point is only associated with applicable content formats, the electronic device 110 does not need to load corresponding functional resources for inapplicable content formats, thus reducing resource consumption.

[0059] Figure 2B A schematic diagram of the interface 200B for the fifth image, based on various rendering capture options, is shown below. (See below for reference.) Figure 2B This describes the process of quickly acquiring the start or end frame via the second component.

[0060] like Figure 2B As shown, in response to a trigger operation on the frame capture control 206, the electronic device 110 can expand and present multiple capture mode options. For example, these options may include a first frame option 212, a last frame option 214, and a custom option 216. In some cases, the first frame option 212 and the last frame option 214 can be presented as primary options. This setting takes into account that in scenarios such as video promotion and multi-segment video stitching, extracting the start or end frame of a video for use as stitching material is a high-frequency requirement, so the corresponding operation path can be set shorter and the position set earlier.

[0061] In some cases, the second component 204 may include a second entry point and a third entry point. For example, a custom option 216 may be an implementation of the second entry point. In response to a triggering operation on the second entry point, the electronic device 110 may present a first component, an example of which will be provided below. Figure 2DDescription. First frame option 212 and last frame option 214 can be implemented as two different third entry points.

[0062] In response to a trigger operation targeting the third entry point, the electronic device 110 can display a fifth image in the creation area, which is either the start or end frame of the first media content. For example, in response to a trigger operation targeting the first frame option 212, the electronic device 110 can directly display the image corresponding to the start frame of the first media content 202 in the creation area 200 without opening any panel or performing secondary interaction. Similarly, in response to a trigger operation targeting the end frame option 214, the electronic device 110 can directly display the image corresponding to the end frame of the first media content 202.

[0063] In some cases, the fifth image can be rendered as a placeholder. For example... Figure 2B As shown, image node 218 can initially appear as a placeholder in the creation area 200. The placeholder can display the loading status, for example, through an image icon and a loading prompt. After loading is complete, the electronic device 110 can display the captured start or end frame within the placeholder. By using placeholders to pre-position the data, the user can immediately perceive the location of the result node after initiating the capture, while the image data can be asynchronously filled in the background.

[0064] In some cases, the electronic device 110 may also be associated with a fifth image to present third information, including the name of the first media content and content representing the start or end frame. For example, as Figure 2B As shown, third information 220 can be presented above image node 218. Third information 220 can be, for example, a name in the form of "First Media Content - Frame X". This name is prefixed with the name 201 of the first media content 202 and can include content indicating whether the image is a start frame or an end frame. In one example, the name of the image obtained directly from the start frame can be presented as "First Media Content - First Frame", and the name of the image obtained directly from the end frame can be presented as "First Media Content - Last Frame".

[0065] Figure 2C A schematic diagram of an interface 200C is shown, in which two images are presented overlapping each other according to certain scenarios. For example... Figure 2C As shown, after the capture is triggered by the first frame option 212 and the last frame option 214 respectively, two image nodes can be presented in the creation area 200, such as image node 222 named "First Media Content - Frame Y" and image node 218 named "First Media Content - Frame X".

[0066] In some cases, electronic device 110 can present first media content at a first position. At a first side of the first position, electronic device 110 can present a captured image. For example, as... Figure 2C As shown, each image node can be presented to the right of the location of the first media content 202. In some cases, the presentation position of the image node does not need to avoid occlusion with already presented content. For example, image node 222 and image node 218 can visually overlap each other. There may be no connection between image node 222 and image node 218; they only overlap in position. Image node 222 and image node 218 can each be connected to the first media content 202 by a line; relevant examples of such connections will be provided below. Figure 2K describe.

[0067] In some cases, the rapid acquisition of the start or end frame can also be implemented as a separate solution. In this separate solution, media content can be presented in the creation area. A corresponding entry point is presented in association with the media content; and in response to a trigger operation on the entry point, an image is presented in the creation area, which corresponds to the start or end position of the media content.

[0068] In this way, users only need to trigger the operation once to obtain the corresponding images in the creation area for the frequently used start and end frames. The capture interaction path is compressed to the shortest possible length, directly addressing the difficulties of lacking dedicated support for connecting scenes and having long acquisition paths in related solutions. Since capturing the start and end frames does not require opening the panel, the electronic device 110 eliminates the loading and rendering processing of the panel interface, thereby reducing the corresponding rendering overhead and interaction response time. Furthermore, the method of placeholder-first occupancy and asynchronous screen filling allows screen data to be transmitted in batches in the background, without the interface being blocked while waiting for the screen to return, thus improving the smoothness of the interface response and the efficiency of resource scheduling.

[0069] Figure 2D A schematic diagram is shown illustrating the interface 200D of the first component 230 presented according to certain scenarios. See below for reference. Figure 2D This describes the process of opening the first component for custom capture.

[0070] In response to a trigger operation on the second entry point, the electronic device 110 can present the first component. For example, as Figure 2D As shown, in response to a trigger operation on custom option 216, electronic device 110 can present a first component 230. The first component 230 may be, for example, a panel for frame capture. The first component 230 may include a player, track 232, time pointer 234, first control 236, and third control 238, etc.

[0071] In some cases, the upper area of ​​the first component 230 can display a player corresponding to the first media content 202, and the content in the player can change in real time following the positioning of the time pointer 234. A track 232 can be displayed below the player. The track 232 can be, for example, a thumbnail frame bar corresponding to the first media content 202, used to assist in positioning. The time pointer 234 can be a pointer that can be dragged and clicked for positioning. In some cases, the first component 230 can also display information about the current playback time and total duration, which can change synchronously with the position of the time pointer 234. The positioning method can simultaneously support both clicking the track 232 and dragging the time pointer 234, allowing the user to stop the time pointer 234 at any position on the first media content 202.

[0072] In some cases, the default state when entering the first component 230 can be: the player displays the starting frame of the first media content 202, the time pointer 234 is at the starting position, and playback is paused.

[0073] In some cases, the first component may include a fourth control for switching between a playback state and a pause state. For example, the fourth control may be presented as a play / pause button in the lower area of ​​the first component 230. In response to reaching the end of the first media content, the electronic device 110 may pause playback of the first media content. In response to a triggering operation on the paused fourth control, the electronic device 110 may resume playback of the first media content from the beginning. In some cases, the switching between the playback and pause states may also be triggered via a shortcut key, such as the spacebar.

[0074] In some situations, if the player is in playback mode before the time hand 234 is dragged, the electronic device 110 can automatically switch the player to pause mode when the time hand 234 is dragged. The screen follows the position change of the time hand 234 and remains paused after the drag ends. In this way, the user can stably observe the screen at each time point during the positioning process, avoiding continuous changes in the screen during positioning.

[0075] In some cases, the first component may include a third control for receiving the second operation, and the third control may be in an untouchable state because the first component does not present at least one identifier. For example, such as Figure 2DAs shown, the third control 238 can be a confirmation control. Before any frames are captured, no identifier is displayed in the first component 230, and the third control 238 can be grayed out and in an untouchable state. In some cases, when the third control 238 is in an untouchable state, if a hover operation associated with the third control 238 is received, the electronic device 110 can also display a prompt message, such as "Capture at least one frame," to guide the user to complete at least one capture.

[0076] In some cases, the first control 236 in the first component 230 can be a control used to initiate a capture, for example, it can be presented as a camera icon. Examples of triggering operations for the first control 236 will be provided below. Figure 2E and Figure 2F describe.

[0077] In this way, the first component 230 integrates playback, positioning, and capture on the same panel, allowing users to precisely locate any point in time within the first media content 202 without leaving the creation area. This addresses the difficulty in accurately extracting frames at arbitrary times in related solutions. Since frame positioning is achieved through the coordination of track 232 and time hand 234, the frame changes in real-time following the positioning. The electronic device 110 does not need to repeatedly initiate the entire playback process to find the target frame, reducing the processing load for video decoding and frame refresh. Furthermore, placing the third control 238 in an untriggerable state when no frames are captured avoids empty submissions at the source, reducing the number of invalid requests between the electronic device 110 and the server 130.

[0078] Figure 2E A schematic diagram is shown of an interface 200E in which the first identifier 242 is presented in the first component, depending on certain circumstances. See below for reference. Figure 2E This describes the process of capturing a single frame.

[0079] In some cases, the first component may include a first control, and the first operation may include a first trigger operation on the first control. In response to the first trigger operation, the electronic device 110 may present a first identifier in the first component, the first identifier corresponding to a first image, which is a frame in the first media content corresponding to the first trigger operation. For example, as... Figure 2E As shown, in response to a trigger operation on the first control 236, the electronic device 110 can capture the player screen currently corresponding to the time pointer 234 and display a first identifier 242 corresponding to that screen in the first component 230. The first identifier 242 can be presented, for example, as a thumbnail. Figure 2EIn the example, the time hand 234 is at the starting position, so the first image corresponding to the first identifier 242 can be the starting screen of the first media content 202.

[0080] After the first component 230 has presented at least one identifier, the third control 238 can change from a non-triggerable state to a triggerable state.

[0081] Figure 2F A schematic diagram is shown of an interface 200F that presents at least one identifier in a first order according to certain scenarios. In some scenarios, the first operation may also include a second trigger operation on the first control. In response to the second trigger operation, the electronic device 110 may present a second identifier in a first component, the second identifier corresponding to a second image, which is another frame in the first media content corresponding to the second trigger operation. For example, a user can first drag the time hand 234 to another time point, and then trigger the first control 236 again; the electronic device 110 then captures the screen corresponding to that time point and presents the corresponding identifier. Figure 2F As shown, after multiple triggers, the first component 230 can display multiple identifiers, such as five identifiers including the first identifier 242 and the second identifier 244. It should be noted that the second identifier 244 can be the identifier obtained from any trigger after the first identifier 242. Figure 2F In the example, the second identifier 244 is shown as the identifier obtained from the last capture.

[0082] In some cases, there is no limit to the number of captures, and users can continuously locate and capture any number of frames within the same session. For each captured frame, the corresponding identifier can be appended to the last position of the captured area of ​​the first component 230.

[0083] In some cases, the electronic device 110 may present at least one identifier in a first component, in a first order, the first order being associated with a second order of a first triggering operation and a second triggering operation. For example, as Figure 2F As shown, the various identifiers can be listed sequentially from left to right in the captured area of ​​the first component 230 according to the order in which the captures occurred.

[0084] In some cases, the electronic device 110 may also present at least one mark in the first component, the at least one mark representing a first order. For example, such as Figure 2F As shown, the first identifier 242 can display a mark 252, such as the sequence number "1". The second identifier 244 can display a mark 254, such as the sequence number "5". Through the marks on each identifier, the user can intuitively understand the order in which each frame was captured.

[0085] Figure 2G A schematic diagram of an interface 200G is shown, illustrating the adjustment of the presentation order of identifiers according to certain scenarios. In some scenarios, the electronic device 110 can receive a third operation to adjust the first order to a third order, and the electronic device 110 can present at least one identifier in the third order. For example, as... Figure 2G As shown, users can perform a third operation—drag and drop—on a specific icon within the captured area, such as swapping the positions of two icons that were originally in the first two positions. In response to this third operation, the icons can be presented in the adjusted third order. In some cases, the labels on each icon can be updated based on the adjusted arrangement, for example, still presented as numbers "1", "2", "3", etc., from left to right according to their presentation position. Thus, the labels always represent the current presentation order of the icons.

[0086] In this way, users can continuously locate and capture any number of time points within a single session. Each identifier is presented in a clear order and with specific markings. Users can also adjust the order before submission, thus compressing the single-frame acquisition process, which requires multiple repetitions in related schemes, into a single continuous interactive process. Since the selection of multiple frames is completed all at once within the first component 230, the electronic device 110 does not need to perform a complete acquisition and upload process for each frame separately, reducing the number of interactive processing steps and data transmissions. Consequently, the overall processing time for batch frame retrieval is shortened, and the communication overhead between the electronic device 110 and the server 130 is correspondingly reduced.

[0087] Figure 2H A schematic diagram of the interface 200H, which presents a preview image 256 and a second control 255, is shown according to some scenarios. See below for reference. Figure 2H This describes the process of confirming and deleting captured frames before submission.

[0088] In some cases, at least one identifier may include a third identifier. For example, such as... Figure 2H As shown, the third identifier 246 can be an identifier within the captured area. Figure 2H In the example, the third identifier 246 is indicated by the identifier number "3". The third identifier 246 corresponds to the third image.

[0089] In some cases, electronic device 110 can receive a fifth operation associated with a third identifier. In response to the fifth operation, associated with the third identifier, a second control is presented for deleting the third identifier. For example, the fifth operation may include a hover operation. In one example, when a pointer hovers over the third identifier 246, electronic device 110 may present a second control 255 in the upper right corner of the third identifier 246. The second control 255 may, for example, be presented as a delete control in the form of a cross.

[0090] In some cases, in response to the fifth operation, the electronic device 110 can also associate with the third identifier to display a preview image, the preview image corresponding to the third image. For example, as Figure 2H As shown, in response to a hover operation associated with the third identifier 246, the electronic device 110 can display a magnified preview image 256 above the third identifier 246. In some cases, the preview image 256 may also include time information and capture markers corresponding to the frame, allowing the user to confirm the captured image content before submission.

[0091] In some cases, electronic device 110 may receive a fourth operation for deleting the third identifier. Electronic device 110 may stop displaying the third identifier within the first component. For example, the fourth operation may include a trigger operation on the second control 255. In response to the trigger operation on the second control 255, electronic device 110 may remove the third identifier 246 from the captured area of ​​the first component 230 without requiring the user to exit the first component 230 and restart.

[0092] In some cases, after the third identifier is removed, at least one image subsequently presented in the creation area may not include the third image. For example, if the user... Figure 2H The interface shown deletes the third identifier 246, subsequently triggering the third control 238. Therefore, the image falling into the creation area 200 may not contain the third image corresponding to the third identifier 246. It should be noted that the following text, in conjunction with... Figures 2I to 2L The five images described are a continuation Figure 2F The interface shown directly triggers the result obtained by the third control 238, not... Figure 2H The result after the deletion operation is shown, and the two interactive branches are distinguished here.

[0093] In this way, users can zoom in and confirm each captured frame before submission by hovering over it, and delete unwanted frames directly within the first component 230. This avoids the difficulty of discovering selection errors only after the image is exported, requiring a complete re-execution of the acquisition process, as in related solutions. Since the filtering occurs before submission, the deleted frames will not be included in subsequent upload and image processing. The electronic device 110 and server 130 do not need to transmit image data for unwanted frames, reducing the amount of invalid data transmission and processing. Therefore, the overall processing time for batch submissions is shortened, and the creation area does not need to allocate rendering resources for redundant images.

[0094] Figure 2I A schematic diagram of an interface 200I is shown, which displays at least one image in the creation area according to certain scenarios. See below for reference. Figure 2IThis describes the process of batch downloading images after confirmation and submission.

[0095] In response to receiving a second operation from the first component, the electronic device 110 can render at least one image in the creation area. For example, the second operation may include a trigger operation on a third control 238. Figure 2I In the example, in response to a trigger operation on the third control 238, the electronic device 110 can render in the authoring area 200 the same as... Figure 2F The five identifiers shown correspond to five images, such as image 261, image 262, image 263, image 264, and image 265. Each of the presented images can exist as a separate image node in the creation area 200.

[0096] In some cases, electronic device 110 can present at least one second element, the number of which corresponds to the number of at least one identifier. Electronic device 110 can present at least one image within each second element. For example, the second element can be a placeholder. In one example, if five frames are captured, electronic device 110 can sequentially generate five placeholders in the creation area 200, initially displaying a loading status within each placeholder. Subsequently, the images from each frame are sequentially filled into the corresponding placeholders, thus presenting the corresponding image within each placeholder. By generating placeholders according to their quantity, the user can perceive the number and location of nodes to be generated in this batch upon confirmation of submission.

[0097] In some cases, the electronic device 110 can present a first image and a second image in the creation area based on a first arrangement, the first arrangement being associated with a first order. For example, as Figure 2I As shown, the five images can be arranged from left to right according to the corresponding label arrangement order in the first component 230. In some cases, if the label order is adjusted to a third order within the first component 230 via a third operation, the electronic device 110 can present the first and second images in the creation area based on the second arrangement, which is associated with the third order. For example, the arrangement of the images in the creation area can follow the adjusted label order, so that the order adjustment within the first component 230 can be reflected in the final image rendering result.

[0098] In some cases, at least one image may be presented on a first side of the first location where the first media content 202 is located, such as the right side. In some cases, at least one image may be presented in a second location, determined based on the distribution of a third element presented in the creation area. For example, the third element may be other nodes or content objects already presented in the creation area 200. In one example, the electronic device 110 or the server 130 may calculate appropriate presentation positions for the batch of images based on the distribution of elements already presented in the creation area 200 to maintain the overall readability of the creation area. The scope of the solution is not limited in this respect.

[0099] In some cases, at least one image may include a sixth image, and the electronic device 110 may be associated with the sixth image to present first information, the first information including a first name and a first sequence number, the first name being the name of the first media content, and the first sequence number representing the order of the sixth image among the at least one image. For example, as Figure 2I As shown, associated with five images, the electronic device 110 can present first information 271, 272, 273, 274, and 275 respectively, for example, "First Media Content - Frame 1" to "First Media Content - Frame 5". The "First Media Content" portion is a first name, taken from name 201. The "Frame 1" to "Frame 5" portions contain first sequence numbers, representing the order of the corresponding images in this batch.

[0100] In some cases, at least one identifier may include a fourth identifier, which corresponds to the sixth image. This fourth identifier may display second information, and the first sequence number corresponds to the second information. For example, the second information may be a sequence number on the fourth identifier. In one example, the sequence number corresponding to "Frame 3" in the name of an image corresponds to the sequence number "3" displayed on the corresponding identifier within the first component 230. Through this correspondence, the numbering within the first component and the sequence number after image capture are linked, allowing the user to quickly locate which capture within the current batch the image originated from based on its name.

[0101] In some cases, electronic device 110 can receive a sixth operation for updating the first name. Electronic device 110 can update the first information based on the updated first name. For example, a user can perform a sixth operation in the form of renaming the name 201 of the first media content 202, such as changing a long default name to an easily identifiable one. After name 201 is updated, the first information associated with each image can be updated accordingly based on the updated name, for example, the name prefix may change. In this way, a consistent correspondence between each image and its source video is maintained via name.

[0102] In this way, a single confirmation operation allows all frames captured in the batch to be placed into the creation area at once. Each image is presented in an arrangement associated with its order within the first component, and bears a name consisting of the source name and the batch sequence number. This addresses the difficulties of acquiring multiple images one by one and the lack of unified naming between images and their sources in related solutions. Because placeholders are generated all at once and images are filled asynchronously in sequence, the electronic device 110 can combine the acquisition of multiple images into a single batch process, reducing the number of requests and interface refreshes compared to processing each image individually. Consequently, the overall processing time for batch image placement is shortened, and the rendering overhead of the creation area is correspondingly reduced.

[0103] Figure 2J A schematic diagram of an interface 200J is shown, illustrating the presentation of a first prompt 291 and second media content 293 according to certain scenarios. See below for reference. Figure 2J This describes the batch prompts and continued generation process after batch image downloading.

[0104] In some cases, the electronic device 110 may display a first prompt in the creation area, the first prompt indicating that at least one image is selected. For example, as Figure 2J As shown, when the batch of images is loaded, the electronic device 110 may present a first prompt 291. The first prompt 291 may be presented, for example, as a selection box. In some cases, the first prompt may be presented around at least one image. For example, the first prompt 291 may be presented as a selection box surrounding images 261 to 265, which is equivalent to the electronic device 110 automatically performing a selection operation on behalf of the user.

[0105] By presenting the first prompt 291, the display position of images during batch image submission can be determined based on the distribution of elements already presented in the creation area, and the images may not necessarily be exactly positioned at the user's focal point. Through the first prompt 291 surrounding the entire batch of images, the user can intuitively understand where each image submitted at once is located in the creation area 200 and belongs to the same batch.

[0106] In some cases, the first prompt may not establish a grouping relationship between at least one image. For example, although the first prompt 291 is visually presented around the entire batch of images, the individual images are still managed separately as individual image nodes, and the electronic device 110 may not perform a grouping operation to establish a grouping relationship between these images. This setting takes into account that if images in the same batch are grouped by default, the cost of locating and selecting individual images in subsequent functions will increase. Keeping the images separate from each other makes subsequent operations on individual images easier. In some cases, the first prompt 291 can be canceled at any time. For example, in response to the user clicking any other location in the creation area 200, the first prompt 291 can disappear automatically, and the individual images remain in the creation area 200. This selection-style first prompt may be no different in capability from a manual selection performed by the user, and therefore will not interfere with the user's other operational processes in the creation area.

[0107] In some cases, electronic device 110 may be associated with at least one image to present a first entry point. In response to a triggering operation on the first entry point, electronic device 110 may present second media content in the creation area, the second media content being derived from at least one image. For example, as... Figure 2J As shown, the first entry point 292 can be an entry point in the form of a creation input box associated with the images in this batch. In response to a trigger operation on the first entry point 292, the electronic device 110 can initiate further generation based on the images in this batch and present the generated second media content 293 in the creation area 200. For example, the second media content 293 can be a video node generated using these images as source material. In some cases, the generation process of the second media content can be performed by the server 130; for example, the electronic device 110 sends the information of the selected images to the server 130, which then completes the generation and returns the result to the electronic device 110. In some cases, the user can also select only a portion of the images in this batch for the generation of the second media content. For example, out of five images, the user can select only two to initiate subsequent video generation.

[0108] In this way, the results of batch image placement are submitted to the user in the form of a first prompt 291 surrounding the entire batch of images. The user can immediately find the location of the images in this batch and continue to generate directly using these images as materials through the first entry point 292. This solves the problem that batch results are not easy to find and, once found, it is difficult to smoothly enter subsequent creation. Since the first prompt only indicates the selected state and does not establish a grouping relationship, subsequent functions do not need to ungroup and search layer by layer when locating individual images, thus shortening the material location processing path. As a result, the overall number of interactions from image placement to continued generation is reduced, and the additional management overhead required by the electronic device 110 to maintain the grouping structure is also avoided.

[0109] In some cases, the second media content 293 can be generated using an intelligent system. In this case, the intelligent system can generate the second media content 293 based on multiple images generated in this instance, or a subset of those images. This approach improves the efficiency of the second media content 293 generation.

[0110] Figure 2K A schematic diagram of an interface 200K presenting at least one element according to certain scenarios is shown. See below for reference. Figure 2K To describe the relationship between an image and its source video.

[0111] In some cases, the electronic device 110 may present at least one element for connecting the first media content and at least one image, wherein the at least one element indicates that the at least one image is associated with the first media content. For example, such as Figure 2K As shown, elements 281, 282, 283, 284, and 285 can be lines connecting the first media content 202 to images 261 to 265, forming a one-to-many connection from the first media content 202 to each image. Through these elements, both the user and the system can trace which video node a particular image originates from, and these elements can also provide contextual indexes for subsequent generation processing. In some cases, elements may not exist between images in the same batch. For example, images 261 to 265 may not be connected to each other. If visual overlap occurs, it may simply be due to overlapping positions and does not indicate any relationship between these images.

[0112] In some cases, the association represented by an element can complement the first information in the form of a name. For example, an element indicates which video node the image originates from, and the first name and first sequence number in the name further indicate which capture the image originated from; together, they form a dual index between the image and the source video.

[0113] Figure 2L A schematic diagram of an interface 200L presenting a first element 285 in a second style according to some scenarios is shown. In some scenarios, at least one image may include a fourth image, and at least one element may include a first element, the first element being used to connect the first media content and the fourth image. The electronic device 110 may present the first element in a first style. In response to a trigger operation for the fourth image, the electronic device 110 may present the first element in a second style. For example, as Figure 2K As shown, when no trigger operation is received for the image, elements 281 to 285 can all be presented in the first style, such as as thinner or lighter-colored lines. Figure 2LAs shown, in response to a trigger operation on the fourth image 265, the first element 285 connecting the first media content 202 and the fourth image 265 can be changed to be presented in a second style, such as in the form of a bold line, while the remaining elements 281 to 284 can still be presented in the first style.

[0114] In some cases, the difference between the first and second styles can be reflected in aspects such as line width, color, highlight, or dynamic effects. Changes in style may not alter the underlying relationships represented by the elements. In some cases, the triggered fourth image 265 can also simultaneously display a selection marker, such as an outer selection box. This selection marker, combined with the above... Figure 2J The first prompt 291 described belongs to different scenarios; the former corresponds to a trigger for a single image, while the latter corresponds to a batch prompt when images are dropped in batches.

[0115] In this way, the association between each image and its source video is explicitly presented as elements. The element corresponding to the triggered image is also highlighted in a second style. When multiple connections exist simultaneously, users can immediately identify the source of the image of interest, thus solving the difficulties of missing associations between images and source videos and the difficulty in tracing materials in related solutions. Since the association is directly carried by elements in the creation area, the system can directly index to the source node along the elements when generating the subsequent positioning context, without having to perform a traversal search in the entire content, thus reducing the amount of search processing for material positioning. As a result, the preparation time for subsequent generation processing is shortened, and the corresponding computational overhead is also reduced.

[0116] Figure 3A A schematic diagram of the interface 300A associated with the image rendering toolbar 310 is shown, depending on certain scenarios. See below for reference. Figures 3A to 3C This describes the process of further processing the captured images.

[0117] In some cases, the image captured falling into the creation area can be a standard image node within that area. Therefore, processing capabilities specific to image nodes can be reused to complete the material supplementation during the generation process. For example, ... Figure 3A As shown, in response to the selection of an image node, the electronic device 110 can display a toolbar 310 associated with that image node. The toolbar 310 may include functions such as image editing, image enlargement, image quality enhancement, composition, multi-angle, and tools. The toolbar 310 may also include an image processing entry 312, which may provide access to processing capabilities such as composition.

[0118] Figure 3BA schematic diagram of an interface 300B for cropping images according to certain scenarios is shown. In some cases, the captured image can be produced in full-frame format. If the user only needs a specific area of ​​the image, this can be achieved through the composition capabilities of the image nodes. For example, as... Figure 3B As shown, after entering the composition stage, the electronic device 110 can display a draggable cropping frame 318 on the image. The area outside the cropping frame 318 can be indicated as the part to be cropped using a mask. The electronic device 110 can also display a composition toolbar 330. The composition toolbar 330 can include a scaling control 314 and a confirmation control 316. The scaling control 314 can provide various scaling options such as 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, and 9:16. The user can adjust the position and size of the cropping frame 318 and submit the cropping through the confirmation control 316.

[0119] Figure 3C A schematic diagram of an interface 300C showing a cropped image presented according to certain scenarios is shown. For example, as... Figure 3C As shown, in response to a trigger operation on the confirmation control 316, the electronic device 110 can generate a placeholder next to the cropped image node and present the newly cropped image node 322 in the placeholder. The new image node 322 can also be associated with the cropped image node as an element, so that the cropping result remains within the context of the creation area.

[0120] In some cases, frame capture and region cropping can be designed with a separation of responsibilities. For example, frame capture can be responsible only for capturing the entire frame, while the acquisition of local areas of the image can be handled by the composition capabilities of the image nodes. This setup makes the boundaries of each capability clear, and the capture process does not need to introduce additional cropping interactions.

[0121] In this way, the captured image is integrated into the creation area as a standard image node, allowing direct reuse of image editing and cropping capabilities. The capture process itself remains simple, thus satisfying further needs for local areas of the image without increasing the complexity of the capture interaction. Since capture is only produced on a full-frame basis and cropping is handled separately by image processing capabilities, there is no need to load cropping-related interfaces and computing resources during the capture process, reducing the processing overhead of the capture stage. Furthermore, the new cropped image maintains elemental relationships with the original image, preserving the integrity of the material's structure and correspondingly reducing the overhead of locating materials in subsequent processing.

[0122] Figure 4 A flowchart of an example process 400 for media editing, based on several scenarios, is shown. Process 400 can be implemented at electronic device 110. See below for reference. Figure 4 To describe process 400.

[0123] like Figure 4 As shown, in box 410, electronic device 110 is in the creation area, presenting primary media content. Its interactive presentation can be found above. Figure 2A The example described.

[0124] In box 420, in response to receiving a first operation, electronic device 110 presents at least one identifier in a first component, the first operation being used to select at least one image of first media content, the at least one identifier corresponding to at least one image. Its interactive presentation can be referred to above. Figures 2D to 2H The example described.
