[0018] The names of messages or information exchanged between devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are merely descriptive and do not limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0019] 1 is a flowchart of a video generation method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment is applicable to a case where a target video is generated based on a first video material in a client. The method may be performed by a video generation device, which may be realized in a software and / or hardware manner, and the device may be disposed in an electronic device, such as a terminal, including but not limited to a smartphone, palmtop, tablet, wearable device with a display, desktop, laptop, all-in-one device, smart home device, etc.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the method may specifically include the following steps:

[0021] S101: Obtain a first video material, and determine a first image editing template used for the first video material, the first image editing template is for arranging image editing operations to be performed on a second video material to generate the first video material after the second video material is edited according to the image editing operations, and the first video material is presented with image editing effects corresponding to the first image editing template.

[0022] Here, the second video material may specifically be a picture, which may be one that the user has taken using a client (e.g., some application for beautifying pictures), which may be one that is stored in the user's album, or which the user has downloaded from the Internet.

[0023] Furthermore, the first video material is presented with an image editing effect corresponding to the first image editing template (the image editing effect may be, for example, an effect of whitening the skin, an effect of enlarging the eyes or modifying the face shape, an effect of adding a background sticker, etc.) In other words, the first image editing template is used for the first video material, and the purpose is that the user can easily obtain the first video material having some kind of beautifying effect by having the first video material presented with an image editing effect corresponding to the first image editing template, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the user's usage experience.

[0024] The first image editing template can be regarded as a profile in which image editing operations corresponding to several image editing effects are arranged. When a user takes a picture using the first image editing template, the first image editing template is applied to the taken original picture to obtain a final picture having the image editing effect. This is essentially performing an image editing operation on the original picture based on the profile to generate a final picture that is the same as the image editing effect of the first image editing template. For example, the first image editing template is for instructing to add a predetermined filter to the original picture and to add a predetermined beauty effect to the recognized face. The addition of this predetermined filter and the addition of the predetermined beauty effect can be regarded as an image editing operation instructed by the first image editing template.

[0025] As can be understood, the original picture is not limited to a picture obtained by instantaneous shooting, but may also be one selected from a local album or downloaded from the Internet.

[0026] In general, a first image editing template is for arranging image editing operations to be performed on a second video material to generate the first video material after the second video material has been edited according to the image editing operations, where the second video material can be considered as an original video material for which the first image editing template has not been used, where the original video material is edited according to the image editing operations arranged by the first image editing template to generate the first video material.

[0027] S102: Match a first video clip template to the first video material based on the first image editing template.

[0028] Here, the first video clip template can be regarded as one profile in which video editing operations corresponding to some video clip effects are arranged. When the first video clip template is applied to process the first video material, it is equivalent to editing the first video material according to the video editing operations arranged in the first video clip template to obtain a target video that is the same as the video clip effect of the first video clip template. In other words, the first video material is processed as a target video, and the video clip effect corresponding to the first video clip template is presented to the target video. For example, the first video clip template is for instructing to form the first video material as two freeze screen video segments of a specified length, add a specified transition effect between the two video segments, and add a specified music. Furthermore, the first video material may specifically include two pictures, and the two freeze screen video segments of the specified length are generated based on the two pictures. Here, forming two freeze screen video segments of specified lengths, one before and one after, and adding a specified transition effect and specified music, can be considered as a video editing operation specified by the first video clip template.

[0029] In some embodiments, a binding relationship between a first image editing template and a video clip template may be pre-established, and the first video clip template may be matched to the first video material based on the binding relationship. More directly, the video clip template bound to the first image editing template is determined as the first video clip template.

[0030] Optionally, the number of video clip templates bound to the first image editing template is one or more. When the number of video clip templates bound to the first image editing template is more than one, the first video clip template may be any one of the plurality of templates.

[0031] Generally, a preset video clip template bound to the first image editing template is determined as the first video clip template, where if there are a plurality of preset video clip templates, the first video clip template is any one of the plurality of preset video clip templates.

[0032] In some other embodiments, the first video clip template may be dynamically matched to the first video material based on style features of the first image editing template. For example, a video clip template whose video clip effect matches the style features of the first image editing template is determined as the first video clip template. Generally, the above-mentioned matching of the first video clip template to the first video material based on the first image editing template includes determining style features of the first video material based on the first image editing template, and matching the first video clip template to the first video material based on the style features and style features of candidate video clip templates.

[0033] S103: Edit the first video material according to the video editing operations arranged in the first video clip template to generate a target video.

[0034] Optionally, the first video material may include one picture or multiple pictures, where the image editing template used for each of the multiple pictures may be the same or different.

[0035] Exemplarily, the first video material includes a plurality of pictures, and the above-mentioned editing of the first video material to generate a target video according to the video editing operation arranged by the first video clip template includes embedding the plurality of pictures in different positions of the first video clip template, and the image editing template used for each of the plurality of pictures is the same, that is, the image editing template used for each of the plurality of pictures is the same, and all of them are the first image editing template. For example, the first video material includes two pictures, which are a first picture a and a second picture b, respectively. Wherein, the image editing template used for the first picture a is the first image editing template, and the image editing template used for the second picture b is also the first image editing template. Or, the image editing templates used for each of the plurality of pictures are different, but the image editing templates used for each of the plurality of pictures include the first image editing template. For example, a first video material includes two pictures, a first picture a and a second picture b, where the image editing template used for the first picture a is the second image editing template, and the image editing template used for the second picture b is the first image editing template.

[0036] In the video generating method according to the present embodiment, when a first video material is obtained, a first image editing template used for the first video material is determined, and then a first video clip template is matched to the first video material based on the first image editing template, and finally, the first video material is edited according to the video editing operations arranged by the first video clip template to generate a target video. The purpose of automatically generating a target video of the first video material based on the first image editing template used for the first video material is achieved. Note that the first image editing template is for arranging image editing operations to be performed on a second video material, so that the first video material is generated after the second video material is edited according to the image editing operations, and the first video material is presented with an image editing effect corresponding to the first image editing template.

[0037] In addition to the above embodiment, please refer to the flowchart of the video generation method shown in Figure 2. This embodiment will further explain the video generation method from the viewpoint of interaction in conjunction with a specific client.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 2, the moving image generating method includes the following steps.

[0039] Step S201: In response to an operation of accessing a target page, generate a video cover of the target video and display the target page, and obtain a first video material, determine a first image editing template used for the first video material, and match a first video clip template to the first video material based on the first image editing template.

[0040] Here, the target page may specifically be a draft page of the shooting application. A guide sign is displayed on the entry control for accessing the draft, so as to guide the user to access the draft page and further consume the target video.

[0041] Illustratively, referring to the schematic diagram of the target page shown in FIG. 3, a first region 310 of the target page displays an animated cover 311 and a playback control 3111 associated with the animated cover 311. A second region 320 of the target page displays historical video material 321. The historical video material includes the first video material 321a, and the animated cover 311 includes the first video material 321a.

[0042] By automatically generating a video cover from the historical video material stored in the target page and displaying the video cover in the first area of ​​the target page, the purpose of guiding the user to trigger the video cover and view the target video can be achieved, and the user's user experience can be improved.

[0043] In addition, the subject information 312 of the first video clip template may be further displayed at the relevant position of the video cover 311. By displaying the subject information of the first video clip template at the relevant position of the video cover, it is advantageous for the user to relatively quickly understand the clip effect of the target video corresponding to the video cover, reduce the difficulty of use, and improve the user's use experience.

[0044] In addition, when the target page is displayed, only the video cover including the first video material is generated, and the target video including the first video material is not generated. The reason for this is that, taking into consideration the subjective behavior of the user, when the user views the target page, there are cases where the user views the target video and cases where the user does not view the target video. If the user does not view the target video, there is no need to consume system resources to generate the target video. Therefore, the purpose of reducing the consumption of system resources can be achieved by performing the target video generation operation after detecting the interactive behavior of the user viewing the target video.

[0045] As can be understood, generating the animated cover of the target video also takes a certain amount of time, and the speed of generation is related to the network status of the client. Therefore, when displaying the target page, if the generation of the animated cover is not completed, a loading screen or a preset screen will be displayed, thereby ensuring the basic user experience and showing the user that the content is being loaded.

[0046] In some alternative embodiments, the number of the target videos is a plurality, and each of the target videos has one video cover accordingly. The video covers of each of the target videos are arranged in the first area in order of their generation time, and the most recently generated video cover is arranged at the leftmost position in the first area.

[0047] For example, referring to the schematic diagram of another target page shown in FIG. 4, the first area 310 of the target page displays three animated covers, which are a first animated cover 311, a second animated cover 312, and a third animated cover 313. Among them, the first animated cover 311 is associated with a first playback control 3111, the second animated cover 312 is associated with a second playback control 3121, and the third animated cover 313 is associated with a third playback control 3131. Among them, the first animated cover 311 is the most recently generated animated cover, and the third animated cover 313 is the oldest generated animated cover. Optionally, the shooting time of the video material included in the first animated cover 311 is later than the shooting time of the video material included in the second animated cover 312, and the shooting time of the video material included in the second animated cover 312 is later than the shooting time of the video material included in the third animated cover 313. A second region 320 of the target page displays historical footage 321 .

[0048] By generating and displaying multiple animated covers, the user can be provided with more choices, and the user can select and view a more satisfying one from among them, improving the user's usage experience. Each time the client is started or the target page is accessed, the multiple animated covers are refreshed once. Specifically, the animated cover including the video material with the latest shooting time may be generated preferentially according to the shooting time of the historical video material.

[0049] Step S202: In response to a trigger operation acting on the playback control, edit the first video material to generate a target video according to the video editing operations arranged by the first video clip template, and display a video detail page including a video playback area for playing the target video.

[0050] That is, the target video generation operation is performed only when the user triggers the playback control, thereby avoiding the waste of system resources caused by performing the target video generation operation even when the user does not view the target video.

[0051] Specifically, when the user triggers the first playback control 3111 in Fig. 4, the target video corresponding to the first video cover 311 is played in the video playback area. When the user triggers the second playback control 3112 in Fig. 4, the target video corresponding to the second video cover 312 is played in the video playback area. And so on.

[0052] For example, referring to the schematic diagram of the video details page shown in FIG. 5, it includes a video playback area 510, video covers for each target video (first video cover 311, second video cover 312, and third video cover 313), a first playback control 3111 associated with the first video cover 311, a first playback control 3121 associated with the second video cover 312, and a third playback control 3131 associated with the third video cover 313.

[0053] The method further includes switching the target video played in the video playback area to a target video corresponding to another video cover in response to a first trigger operation acting on the playback screen of the target video played in the video playback area. For example, if the target video currently played in the video playback area 510 is a target video corresponding to the second video cover 312, and the user slides the video screen of the target video to the left, the target video played in the video playback area 510 is switched to a target video corresponding to the first video cover 311. For example, if the target video currently played in the video playback area 510 is a target video corresponding to the second video cover 312, and the user slides the video screen of the target video to the right, the target video played in the video playback area 510 is switched to a target video corresponding to the third video cover 313.

[0054] Or, in response to a second trigger operation acting on the target playback control in the video detail page, the target video played in the video playback area is switched to the target video corresponding to the video cover associated with the target playback control. Here, the second trigger operation is for selecting the target playback control from the playback controls associated with each of the video covers displayed on the video detail page. For example, if the target video currently being played in the video playback area 510 is the target video corresponding to the second video cover 312, and the user triggers the playback control 3111 associated with the first video cover 311, the target video played in the video playback area 510 is switched to the target video corresponding to the first video cover 311.

[0055] After displaying the above-mentioned video detail page, the method further includes sequentially generating target videos corresponding to the remaining video covers in order of newness based on the generation time of the video cover of each target video, so that the user can quickly switch the target video played in the video playback area 510. For example, when the user triggers the first video cover 311 in FIG. 4, generate a target video corresponding to the first video cover 311, access the video detail page shown in FIG. 5, play the target video corresponding to the first video cover 311 in the video playback area 510, generate the target video corresponding to the first video cover 311, and then generate the target video corresponding to the second video cover 312. After generating the target video corresponding to the second video cover 312, generate the target video corresponding to the third video cover 313.

[0056] Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a material replacement control 520 is displayed on the video detail page. The method further includes displaying the historical video material in response to a trigger operation acting on the material replacement control 520, where the historical video material does not include video material in a moving image format, and may refer to video material in a picture format. For example, refer to the schematic diagram of a page displaying historical video material shown in FIG. 6. The historical video material may specifically be video material stored in a target page, and each video material is arranged in order of newest shooting time, the latest shot material is arranged and displayed at the front, and the oldest shot video material is arranged and displayed at the back.

[0057] In response to a third trigger operation acting on a third video material for selecting the third video material from the displayed history video material, a second image editing template used for the third video material is determined. A second video clip template is matched to the third video material based on the second image editing template. The third video material is edited according to the video editing operation arranged by the second video clip template to generate a new target video. Switch to the video detail page and play the new target video in the video playback area. That is, a user can custom select a video material and further generate a target video for the video material selected by the user. By supporting a user to custom select a video material and generating a target video for the video material selected by the user, the purpose of improving the interactive experience of the user can be achieved.

[0058] Further, as shown in Fig. 5, the video detail page displays a save control 530 and a share control 540. The method further includes: saving the target video to the target page in response to a trigger operation acting on the save control; and saving the target video to a local album and sending the target video to the first service side in response to a trigger operation acting on the share control, so that the first service side pushes the target video to a pre-configured client for playing. Here, in order to improve the interactive experience, a loading screen is displayed while the target video is being saved, and after the saving is completed, a display of "saved in draft" is displayed.

[0059] By providing the share control 540, the user can easily share the target video from one client to another client, improving the user's usage experience. For example, when one client is a shooting client and another client is a video production client, the user may generate a target video from pictures taken by one client and share the target video with the video production client.

[0060] In some embodiments, acquiring the first video material as described above includes: The method includes determining an image editing template used for each of the historical video materials, determining a historical video material for which a target image editing template, which is an image editing template to which a video clip template is bound, is used as a candidate video material, and determining the first video material from the candidate video materials, i.e., obtaining the first video material from a video material for which an image editing template to which a preset video clip template is bound is used as a priority.

[0061] Determining the first video content from the candidate video content as described above includes: When the candidate video material exists in a favorite tag, the candidate video material with the latest shooting time in the favorite tag is determined as the first video material, and when the candidate video material does not exist in the favorite tag, the candidate video material with the latest shooting time in a default tag is determined as the first video material. By preferentially acquiring the first video material from the favorite tag, the purpose of generating a target video for a video material that is relatively interesting to the user can be achieved, the possibility that the user will share the target video can be increased, and the user's usage experience can be improved.

[0062] In some embodiments, for example, a first image editing template A is bound to a first video clip template U, a second image editing template B has no video clip template bound to it, a third image editing template C is bound to a second video clip template V, a third video clip template W, a fourth video clip template X, a fifth video clip template Y, and a sixth video clip template Z, a fourth image editing template D is bound to a second video clip template V, a third video clip template W, a fourth video clip template X, a fifth video clip template Y, and a sixth video clip template Z, and a fifth image editing template E is bound to a second video clip template V, a third video clip template W, a fourth video clip template X, a fifth video clip template Y, and a sixth video clip template Z. If the user uses the first image editing template A to take three photos A1, A2, and A3 in chronological order, a target video for photo A3 is generated based on the first video clip template U, which is denoted as U-A3. Next, the user uses the second image editing template B to take two photos B1 and B2 in chronological order. Since the video clip template is not bound to the second image editing template B, no target video is generated for photos B1 and B2, and at this time, there is still only the target video U-A3. Next, if the user uses the third image editing template C to take photo C1, he randomly decides to use the fifth video clip template Y to generate a target video for photo C1, which is denoted as Y-C1. The target video Y-C1 generated later is arranged to the left of the target video U-A3 generated earlier, and the target video at this time includes Y-C1 and U-A3. Next, the user decides that when the user takes a photo D1 using the fourth image editing template D, the user should randomly use the fourth video clip template X to generate a target video for the photo D1, and the target videos at this time include X-D1, Y-C1, and U-A3.Next, when the user takes a photo A4 using the first image editing template A, the user generates a target video of the photo A4 using the first video clip template U. If the total number of target videos is limited to three, the target videos at this time include U-A4, X-D1, and Y-C1.

[0063] Generally speaking, when a user accesses a target page, a video cover is generated for each target video, and a video clip template for each target video is determined. When a user triggers a playback control, a corresponding target video is generated to realize rational use of system resources. Here, if any operation fails at any step, a prompt is displayed to the user.

[0064] For some complex video clip templates, it may be necessary to upload video material to the service side, and the service side may complete the editing process for the video material according to the editing operation of the video clip template. At this time, the video material is uploaded to the service side after being presented to a user and approved by the user. Generally, the above-mentioned editing the first video material to generate a target video according to the video editing operation arranged by the first video clip template includes: when the first video clip template is a preset video clip template, displaying presentation information; uploading the first video material to a second service side in response to a confirmation operation triggered for the presentation information, and editing the first video material to generate the target video by the second service side according to the video editing operation arranged by the first video clip template; and receiving the target video sent from the second service side.

[0065] 7 is a schematic diagram of a video generation device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The video generation device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be disposed in a client. The video generation device specifically includes an acquisition module 710, a matching module 720, and a first generation module 730.

[0066] Wherein, the acquisition module 710 is for acquiring a first video material and determining a first image editing template used for the first video material, the first image editing template is for arranging image editing operations to be performed on a second video material so that the second video material is edited according to the image editing operations to generate the first video material, and the first video material is presented with an image editing effect corresponding to the first image editing template. The matching module 720 is for matching a first video clip template to the first video material based on the first image editing template. The first generation module 730 is for editing the first video material according to the video editing operations arranged by the first video clip template to generate a target video.

[0067] Selectively, The video clip template further includes a generation and display module for generating a video cover of the target video and displaying the target page in response to an operation of accessing a target page before editing the first video material to generate a target video in accordance with the video editing operations arranged by the video clip template as described above, wherein the video cover and playback controls associated with the video cover are displayed in a first area of ​​the target page, and historical video material is displayed in a second area of ​​the target page, the historical video material including the first video material, and the video cover including the first video material.
