[0016] Before using the embodiments disclosed in each example of the present disclosure, the user's authorization shall be obtained by notifying the user of the types, scope of use, usage scenarios, etc. of the personal information related to the present disclosure in an appropriate manner based on relevant laws and regulations.

[0017] For example, in response to receiving a voluntary request from the user, the operation of sending presentation information to the user, explicitly presenting it to the user, and requesting its execution requires obtaining and using the user's personal information. Thus, based on the presentation information, the user can choose for themselves whether to provide personal information to software or hardware such as an electronic device, application, server, or storage medium that executes the operations of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0018] As a selectable but non-limiting embodiment, the method of sending presentation information to the user in response to receiving a voluntary request from the user may be, for example, in the form of a pop-up window, and the presentation information may be displayed in text in the pop-up window. Further, the pop-up window may further incorporate a selection control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0019] The above notifications and user authentication processes are merely exemplary and do not limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. Other forms that meet the relevant laws and regulations are also applicable to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0020] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for editing media content according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be executed by an editing device for media content. The device may be implemented by software and / or hardware, and may be disposed in an electronic device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer. The method for editing media content according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to a scene of editing media content, and in particular, is applicable to a scene of editing media content including different types of materials. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for editing media content according to this embodiment includes the following steps.

[0021] S101. On an editing interface, a preview screen of a first material in target media content is displayed, and at least one material is included in the target media content.

[0022] The editing interface may be an interface for editing media content. The media content may include, for example, one clip or multiple clips. For example, one piece of media content may include video and / or image content from multiple clips. After the media content is distributed, other users can freely switch between the video and / or images from multiple clips by using slide gestures or similar methods when viewing the media content. As shown in Figure 2, the editing interface may include a preview area 20 for displaying a preview screen of the material, and an information area 21 for displaying background music information in the target media content. The editing interface may further display material information 22 for at least some of the material in the target media content, and one control without editing the target media content. This material information can be understood as material information such as a thumbnail image of the material. The controls for editing at least one target media content may include, for example, an adjustment control 23 that switches to an adjustment interface to edit the duration and / or screen size of at least some of the material in the target media content, a text control 24 for adding text to the target media content, a sticker control 25 for adding stickers to the target media content, and a filter control 26 for adding filter effects to the target media content. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the editing screen may also display a distribution control 27 and a control for the next step 28. Thus, the user can distribute the target media content by triggering the distribution control 27 to distribute the target media content and / or by triggering the next step control 28 to switch to the distribution screen of the target media content, thereby editing the relevant information of the target media content on the distribution screen and distributing the target media content.

[0023] The target media content may be the media content currently displayed in the editing interface, or it may be the media content that the user intends to distribute or has already distributed. For example, the user can edit the media content before and / or after it has been distributed. The following example illustrates the case where the target media content is the media content that the user intends to distribute. The target media content may include one or more materials for generating the target media content. In this embodiment, the type of materials is not limited; for example, the materials in the target media content may include at least one of video and images. In other words, the target media content may include at least one image type material and / or at least one video type material.

[0024] The first material may be understood as the material currently being viewed by the user in the editing interface. For example, the first material may be the material corresponding to the preview screen displayed in the editing interface when the first trigger operation is received. For example, if the preview screen of material A is displayed in the editing interface when the first trigger operation is received, then material A is the first material.

[0025] Specifically, if the editing interface for the target media content is displayed, and the editing interface for the target media content displays a preview screen of a certain material in the target media content, then when the user triggers the material information 22 of a certain material displayed in the editing interface, the preview area 20 of the editing interface displays the preview screen of that material. Alternatively, based on the arrangement order of each material in the target media content and / or the user's preview switching operation, the preview area 20 of the editing interface switches and displays preview screens of different materials. This preview switching operation may be understood as an operation that instructs to switch the currently previewed material, such as a horizontal slide operation acting on the preview area 20.

[0026] S102, In response to a first trigger operation acting within the editing interface, an adjustment interface corresponding to the material type of the first material is displayed, the adjustment interface is for adjusting at least one of the duration and screen size of at least some of the material in the target media content, the at least some of the material includes the first material, and the material in the target media content includes at least one of video and image.

[0027] Here, the first trigger operation is an operation that instructs the display of an adjustment interface for the target media content, which could be, for example, an operation that triggers adjustment controls displayed in the editing interface, or a gesture operation that acts on the editing interface. The adjustment interface may be an interface for adjusting the duration and / or screen size of at least some of the material in the target media content. The adjustment interface corresponds to the material type of the first material. As an option, if the material types of the material being previewed in the editing interface are different, the adjustment interfaces displayed in response to the first trigger operation do not have to be exactly the same. The at least some of the material includes the first material that the user previews in the editing interface when the first trigger operation is received.

[0028] For example, when a first trigger operation acting within the editing interface is received, for example, when it is detected that the user has triggered an adjustment control 23 displayed in the editing interface (as shown in Figure 2), the current interface can be switched from the editing interface to the adjustment interface corresponding to the material type of the first material, so that the user can adjust the duration and / or drawing area size of at least some of the material (e.g., the first material) of the target media content in the adjustment interface, as shown in Figures 3 and 4.

[0029] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, when the adjustment interface is displayed in response to the first trigger operation, the adjustment interface may also display a preview screen of the first material so that the editing interface can preview the currently displayed first material and / or adjust the duration and / or screen size of the first material.

[0030] Continuing to refer to Figures 3 and 4, the adjustment interface may display a cancel control 30 for canceling at least some adjustment operations performed on at least some of the materials in the adjustment interface, and / or a completion control 31 for indicating that the adjustment is complete and recording at least some of the adjustment operations performed on at least some of the materials in the adjustment interface. The adjustment interface may also display at least one of a duration adjustment control 32, a screen size adjustment control 33, and a delete control 34. This allows the user to trigger the duration adjustment control 32 to instruct the current application program to display the duration adjustment interface, trigger the screen size adjustment control 33 to instruct the current application program to display the screen size adjustment interface, and / or trigger the delete control 34 to delete the material currently previewed in the adjustment interface from the target media content.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the first trigger operation is received, an adjustment interface corresponding to the material type of the material currently being previewed by the user is displayed, thereby enriching the material adjustment method and media content editing method, and simplifying the operations required when the user edits media content.

[0032] In some embodiments, the display of the adjustment interface includes at least one of the following: the display of a duration adjustment interface, in which at least some material editing track clips and / or thumbnail images are displayed in a first area of ​​the duration adjustment interface, with the editing track clips displayed in a collapsed state; and the display of a screen size adjustment interface, in which a preview screen of the target media content and progress controls for adjusting the preview progress of the target media content are displayed in a second area of ​​the screen size adjustment interface.

[0033] In this embodiment, the adjustment interface may include a duration adjustment interface and / or a screen size adjustment interface. The duration adjustment interface may be an adjustment interface for adjusting the duration of at least some of the material in the target media content. For example, for video-type material, the duration adjustment interface may be for adjusting the total playback duration of the material, and / or for image-type material, the duration adjustment interface may be for adjusting the total display duration of the material in the target media content. The screen size adjustment control may be an adjustment interface for adjusting the screen size of at least some of the material in the target media content, and the screen size may be, for example, a screen aspect ratio such as the ratio of screen width to height.

[0034] In the above embodiment, when a first trigger operation acting on the editing interface is received, in response to the first trigger operation, the current interface is switched from the editing interface to the time length adjustment interface, and the first area of ​​the time length adjustment interface can display editing track clips 35 (as shown in Figure 3) and / or thumbnail images of at least some of the material in the target media content.

[0035] The first area may be an area in the time length adjustment interface that displays an edit track clip and / or thumbnail image. An edit track clip may be understood as an edit track corresponding to material in the target media content, and the edit track clip may be used to adjust the time length of the corresponding material. For example, different material may correspond to different edit track clips. An edit track clip may have a collapsed state and an expanded state, and the display length when the edit track clip is collapsed may be shorter than the display length when the edit track clip is expanded. In this embodiment, the display style of the edit track clip is not limited. As one option, as shown in Figure 3, when the edit track clip is collapsed, it may be displayed in the form of a thumbnail image of the material. As shown in Figure 5, when the edit track clip is expanded, it may be displayed in the form of a set of thumbnail images of the material.

[0036] In the above embodiment, when a first trigger operation acting on the editing interface is received, in response to the first trigger operation, the current interface may be switched from the editing interface to the screen size adjustment interface, as shown in Figure 4 (the figure shows an example of displaying a preview screen of a third material in the target media content), and the preview screen of the target media content and progress controls may be displayed in the second area 40 of the screen size adjustment interface.

[0037] Here, the second region may be a region in the screen adjustment interface that displays a preview screen and progress controls for the target media content. Preferably, the second region includes the screen display area for the target media content. For example, the second region may be the screen display area for the target media content. This screen display area is considered to be a region in the screen size adjustment interface that displays a preview screen for the target media content. In this case, as shown in Figure 2, the progress controls can be displayed in a region of the screen display area that is above the layer where the preview screen is displayed (for example, a region at the bottom of the second region).

[0038] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the time length adjustment screen may display a preset control 36 and / or a material replacement control 37. The preset control 36 is a control displayed in a first area, such as a control in which the material's editing track clip 35 and / or thumbnail image are displayed together in the first area. For example, the preset control 36 may be a material addition control. This allows the user to trigger the preset control 36 to switch to the material interface and select a new material to add to the target media content from the material interface. The material replacement control 37 may be a control that indicates the material currently being previewed in the replacement time adjustment interface. By triggering the material replacement control 37 to switch to the material interface, the user can select the material currently being previewed in the replacement time adjustment interface from the material interface. Here, the material interface may be an interface that displays candidate materials, such as the user's local album.

[0039] In this embodiment, the preset control may remain displayed in the first area of ​​the time length adjustment interface when the time length adjustment interface is displayed, or its display may be canceled when the preset conditions are met, such as when the user views more edit track clips in the first area or increases the display size of the edit track clips.

[0040] Preset conditions are set as needed. For example, preset conditions may include that a reordering operation acting on the time length adjustment interface has been received and the execution of said reordering operation is not yet complete, or that there are edit track clips displayed in an expanded state on the time length adjustment interface. In this case, one option is to further include that preset controls are displayed in the first area, and after at least some of the edit track clips and / or thumbnail images of the material are displayed in the first area of ​​the time length adjustment interface, the arrangement order of at least some of the material in the target media content is adjusted in response to a reordering operation acting on the time length adjustment interface, and the display of the preset controls is canceled during the execution of said reordering operation, and the display of the preset controls is canceled in response to a second trigger operation on the first edit track clip.

[0041] The reordering operation may be a trigger operation to instruct the reordering of one or more materials in the target media content, such as pressing and dragging an edit track clip or thumbnail image corresponding to a material displayed in the first area, or a gesture operation to instruct the reordering of one or more materials. If, as one option, an edit track clip or thumbnail image is pressed and dragged, the press and drag operation on the edit track clip or thumbnail image can be performed sequentially. The second trigger operation may be a trigger operation to instruct one or more folded edit track clips to be expanded, such as clicking a collapsed edit track clip displayed in the first area or other gesture operation. The first edit track clip may be an edit track clip that corresponds to the second trigger operation, such as the edit track clip on which the second trigger operation functions.

[0042] For example, when a reordering operation is received within the time-length adjustment interface, for instance, when it is detected that the user has long-pressed and dragged an edit track clip and / or thumbnail image of a material displayed in the first area, the display order of the edit track clip and / or thumbnail image in the first area is adjusted, and the edit track clip and / or thumbnail image is controlled to move in response to the user's drag operation in order to adjust the display order of the corresponding material in the target media content. Furthermore, the display of the preset controls can be canceled while the reordering operation is being performed so that more edit track clips and / or thumbnail images are displayed in the first area and the user can perform the reordering. Once the reordering operation is complete, the preset controls can be displayed again in the first area.

[0043] For example, when a second trigger operation is received on a first edit track clip, for instance, when the user detects that a collapsed edit track clip in the first area is clicked, if a preset control is displayed in the first area, in response to the second trigger operation, the display of the preset control is canceled, thereby leaving more space to display the edit track clip, and the first edit track clip is switched from collapsed to expanded. Also, if no expanded edit track clip is displayed in the first area, the preset control may be redisplayed in the first area.

[0044] In this embodiment, the progress control may include a first progress control and a second progress control. The first progress control is for adjusting the preview progress of a first material, and exemplary, the first progress control may be displayed in the form of a progress bar. The second progress control is for switching the currently previewed material in the screen size adjustment interface. Optionally, the second progress control may display a second thumbnail image corresponding to at least some of the materials, and the second thumbnail image is used to trigger the display of a preview screen of the material corresponding to the second area. The second thumbnail image may be a thumbnail image displayed in the second progress control of at least some of the materials in the target media content, such as a thumbnail image displayed in the second progress control.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the screen size adjustment interface is displayed, the same progress controls, such as the first control and the second control, can be displayed on the screen size adjustment interface.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the screen size adjustment interface is displayed, the screen size adjustment interface may display different progress controls to meet the user's different adjustment needs based on the difference in the number of materials included in the target media content. For example, if the target media content contains only one material, for example, as shown in Figure 6, if the target media content contains only the first material that is previewed in the editing interface, the second area 40 of the screen size adjustment interface displays the preview screen of the first material and the first progress control 60. If the target media content contains multiple materials, as shown in Figure 4, the second area 40 of the screen size adjustment interface displays the preview screen of one of the materials (for example, the third material) and the second progress control 41.

[0047] In such a case, one option is that the second area of ​​the screen size adjustment interface displays a preview screen and progress controls for the target media content, which includes at least one of the following: if the target media content contains only one material, the preview screen and first progress controls for the first material are displayed in the second area of ​​the screen size adjustment interface; and if the target media content contains at least two materials, the preview screen for the third material in the target media content and second progress controls for switching the currently previewed material in the second area are displayed in the second area of ​​the screen size adjustment interface.

[0048] The third material may be understood as the material previewed in the screen resizing interface when the screen resizing interface is displayed in response to the first trigger operation, and may be, for example, a preset material or any material in the target media content such as the first material. The preset material can be set in advance. For example, the preset material may be the nth (where n is a positive integer) material in the target media content. The current material may be the material currently previewed in the screen resizing interface, such as the material whose preview screen is currently displayed in the screen resizing interface.

[0049] This allows the user to adjust the preview progress of the first material by clicking a position in the first progress control 60 or by dragging a progress identifier in the first progress control 60, and / or to instruct the current application to display a preview screen of the material corresponding to a second thumbnail image in the second area 40 by triggering a second thumbnail image in the second progress control 41. In this case, for example, after the preview screen of the third material in the target media content and the second progress control are displayed in the second area of ​​the screen size adjustment interface, a preview screen of the fourth material, which is the material corresponding to the target thumbnail image, is displayed in the second area of ​​the screen size adjustment interface in response to a fourth trigger operation on the target thumbnail image in the second progress control. Here, the fourth trigger operation may be understood as an operation that triggers a second thumbnail image in the second progress control. The target thumbnail image may be thought of as a second thumbnail image corresponding to the fourth trigger operation, such as the second thumbnail image on which the fourth trigger operation functions. The fourth material may be considered as material corresponding to the target thumbnail image, such as the material to which the target thumbnail image belongs.

[0050] In some embodiments, the user may perform different operations on the material screen in the screen size adjustment interface to meet different user needs. In this case, after a preview screen and progress controls of the target media content are displayed in a second area of ​​the image adjustment interface, the operation further includes at least one of the following: adjusting the aspect ratio of the current material screen to a target screen aspect ratio corresponding to the first adjustment operation in response to a first adjustment operation acting on the image adjustment interface; performing a mirroring operation on the current material screen in response to a second adjustment operation acting on the image adjustment interface; and controlling the current material screen to rotate by a preset angle along a preset direction in response to a third adjustment operation acting on the image adjustment interface.

[0051] The first adjustment operation may be understood as a trigger operation that instructs the adjustment of the screen aspect ratio of the current material. For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 6, the image adjustment interface may display at least one ratio control 42 and / or an image frame 43. Each ratio control 42 can correspond to one or more screen aspect ratios. Thus, the first adjustment operation may include an operation that triggers a ratio adjustment control 42 and / or an operation that adjusts the ratio of an image frame 43. The target screen aspect ratio may be understood as the screen aspect ratio instructed by the first adjustment operation. The second adjustment operation may be a trigger operation that instructs the mirroring operation to be performed on the screen of the current material, such as an operation that triggers a mirroring control 44 displayed in the screen size adjustment interface. The third adjustment operation may be understood as a trigger operation that instructs the adjustment of the display angle of the screen of the current material, such as an operation that triggers a rotation control 45 displayed in the screen size adjustment interface. The preset direction and preset angle can be flexibly set. For example, the preset direction may be clockwise or counterclockwise, and the preset angle may be 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees, or 180 degrees, and can be set as needed.

[0052] For example, when a first adjustment operation is received, if it is detected that the user has triggered a ratio control 42 displayed in the screen size adjustment interface, the screen size frame 43 can be adjusted to the ratio corresponding to the ratio control 42 (e.g., the ratio of height to width), and / or, if it is detected that the user has dragged a corner or boundary of the screen size frame 43, the corresponding boundary of the screen size frame 43 can be controlled to move in accordance with the user's drag to adjust the ratio of the screen size frame 43. This adjusts the screen aspect ratio of the current material to the same screen aspect ratio as the screen size frame, and crops the image or video frame in the current material based on the user's first trigger operation or an operation in which the user triggers a completion control 31 in the screen size adjustment interface, for example, to adjust the screen aspect ratio of the current material to the same target screen aspect ratio as the screen size frame.

[0053] When a second adjustment operation is received, for example, when it is detected that the user has triggered a mirror control 44 displayed on the screen size adjustment interface, a mirroring process can be performed on the image or video frame in the current material, and the mirrored preview screen can be displayed in the second area 40.

[0054] When a third adjustment operation is received, for example, when it is detected that the user has triggered a rotation control 45 displayed on the screen size adjustment interface, the image or video frame in the current material can be controlled to rotate by a preset angle along a preset direction, and the rotated preview screen can be displayed in the second area 40.

[0055] In this embodiment, after a user adjusts the screen aspect ratio of a certain material in the screen size adjustment interface, the adjustment operation performed can be applied to one or more other materials in the target media content, for example, to avoid the user having to adjust the screen aspect ratio of each material individually, and to simplify the operations required when a user adjusts the screen aspect ratio of the target media content, the screen aspect ratio of some or all of the other materials can also be adjusted to the target screen aspect ratio.

[0056] In this case, after the screen aspect ratio of the current material has been adjusted to the target screen aspect ratio corresponding to the first adjustment operation, the process further includes adjusting the screen aspect ratio of at least some of the materials in the target media content other than the current material to the target screen aspect ratio in response to a fourth adjustment operation acting on the screen size adjustment interface.

[0057] The fourth adjustment operation may be understood as a trigger operation that instructs the screen aspect ratio of at least some of the materials other than the current material to be adjusted to the same target screen aspect ratio as the current material, such as an operation that triggers an application control displayed on the screen size adjustment interface.

[0058] For example, when a fourth adjustment operation is received, for example, when it is detected that the user has triggered an application control 46 displayed on the screen size adjustment interface (as shown in Figures 4 and 6), the screen aspect ratio of at least some of the materials other than the current material in the target media content can be adjusted to the target screen aspect ratio.

[0059] Here, at least some of the materials may be preset materials or materials determined based on user selection. In this embodiment, the preset materials are not limited. For example, preset materials may include materials preceding and / or following the current material in the target media content, or materials preceding and / or following the current material in the target media content. When at least some of the materials to be adjusted based on user selection are determined, for example, when a fourth adjustment operation is received for the user to select, the materials panel is displayed, and the materials panel displays material information for one or more materials in the target media content, and after the user makes a selection, the screen aspect ratio of the materials selected by the user is adjusted to the target screen aspect ratio.

[0060] In some embodiments, when a first trigger operation acting on the editing interface of target media content is received, the adjustment interface displayed in response to the first trigger operation can be determined based on the type of first material currently being previewed in the editing interface. For example, if the first material is of a first type, a duration adjustment interface may be displayed in response to the first trigger operation. If the first material is of a second type, a screen size adjustment interface may be displayed in response to the first trigger operation. In this case, one option is that the display of the adjustment interface includes displaying a duration adjustment interface if the material type of the first material is of a first type, and displaying a screen size adjustment interface if the material type of the first material is of a second type. Here, the first and second types can be set as needed; for example, the first type may be a video type and the second type may be an image type. This allows the duration adjustment interface to be displayed if the first material is a video, and the screen size adjustment interface to be displayed if the first material is an image.

[0061] In the media content editing method according to this embodiment, a preview screen of a first material in the target media content is displayed in the editing interface, and the target media content includes at least one material. An adjustment interface is displayed in response to a first trigger operation acting on the editing interface, and the adjustment interface corresponds to the material type of the first material. The adjustment interface is for adjusting at least one of the duration and drawing area size of at least some of the materials in the target media content, and the at least some of the materials include the first material. The materials in the target media content include at least one of video and image. By utilizing the above embodiment, this embodiment enriches the material adjustment method and media content editing method by displaying an adjustment interface corresponding to the material type of the material that the user is currently previewing, and simplifies the operations required when the user edits media content.

[0062] Figure 7 is a flowchart of another media content editing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Embodiments in this embodiment can be combined with one or more selectable embodiments in the above embodiment. One option further includes that, after an edit track clip and / or thumbnail image of at least some material is displayed in a first area of ​​the time length adjustment interface, in response to a second trigger operation on the first edit track clip, the first edit track clip is switched from a collapsed state to an expanded state, and the expanded first edit track clip is displayed in a preset sub-area of ​​the first area. The expanded edit track clip is for adjusting the time length of the material corresponding to the expanded edit track clip.

[0063] As one option, the first edit track clip is displayed in an expanded state in the preset sub-region of the first region, and then, in response to a third trigger operation, the edit track clip displayed in the preset sub-region is switched from the first edit track clip to a second edit track clip. The second edit track clip is the edit track clip corresponding to the third trigger operation, and the second edit track clip is displayed in an expanded state within the preset sub-region.

[0064] Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 7, the media content editing method according to this embodiment includes the following steps.

[0065] S201, the editing interface displays a preview screen of a first material in the target media content, the target media content includes at least one material, and the material in the target media content includes at least one of a video and an image.

[0066] Step S202, in response to a first trigger operation acting on the editing interface, the time length adjustment interface is displayed, and the first area of ​​the time length adjustment interface displays editing track clips of at least some of the material. The editing track clips are displayed in a collapsed state.

[0067] In this embodiment, when a first trigger operation is received, as shown in Figure 3, the current interface is switched from the editing interface to the time length adjustment interface, and in the first area of ​​the time length adjustment interface, the editing track clips 35 of at least some of the materials are displayed in a collapsed state, and for example, the editing track clips 35 of at least some of the materials can be displayed as thumbnail images of those materials.

[0068] The thumbnail image displayed for a collapsed editing track clip may be the thumbnail image associated with the material corresponding to that editing track clip. For example, if the material is an image, the thumbnail image may be the thumbnail image of the corresponding material, i.e., the thumbnail image of the image. If the material is a video, the thumbnail image may be the thumbnail image of the video cover or the thumbnail image of a frame in the video.

[0069] S203, in response to a second trigger operation on the first edit track clip, the first edit track clip is switched from a collapsed state to an expanded state, and the preset sub-region of the first region displays the edit track clip in the expanded state. The expanded first edit track clip is used to adjust the duration of the material corresponding to the expanded edit track clip.

[0070] The second trigger operation may be a trigger operation that instructs a collapsible edit track clip to be switched to an expanded state, for example, if an expanded edit track clip is not displayed in the preset sub-area, the trigger operation instructs the preset sub-area to display a certain edit track clip in an expanded state. The method of performing the second trigger operation is not limited. For example, the second trigger operation may be an operation that clicks on a certain edit track clip displayed in the first area if all edit track clips displayed in the first area are in a collapsed state. The first edit track clip can be considered as an edit track clip that corresponds to the second trigger operation, such as the edit track clip that the second trigger operation instructs to be switched to an expanded state. The preset sub-area may be understood as a sub-area for displaying expanded clip track clips in the first area, and may be set as needed. Exemplaryly, the preset sub-area may be a sub-area located in the middle of the first area.

[0071] Exemplary, as shown in Figure 5, when a first edit track clip is received, the first edit track clip is switched from a collapsed state to an expanded state, the first edit track clip in its expanded state is displayed in the preset sub-region of the first region, and the time length adjustment interface can display a preview screen of the material corresponding to the first edit track (e.g., the second material). This allows the user to adjust the time length of the material corresponding to the first edit track clip by dragging the left boundary region 50 or the right boundary region 51 of the first edit track clip. For example, dragging the left boundary region 50 or the right boundary region 51 to the right shortens the time length of the material corresponding to the first edit track clip, and / or dragging the left boundary region 50 or the right boundary region 51 to the left lengthens the time length of the material corresponding to the first edit track clip.

[0072] In this embodiment, the display style of an expanded edit track clip is not limited. As an option, an expanded edit track clip can be displayed as a set of thumbnail images to allow the user to quickly determine the material screen corresponding to each position of the edit track clip. The set of thumbnail images may be a set of thumbnail images corresponding to the material corresponding to the expanded edit track clip. The set of thumbnail images may include at least two thumbnail images. Exemplarily, if the material corresponding to the expanded edit track clip is a video, the set of thumbnail images may include thumbnail images of at least some video frames in the material, such as keyframe thumbnail images in the material. If the material corresponding to the expanded edit track clip is an image, the set of thumbnail images may include multiple thumbnail images of the image. The screens displayed for each thumbnail image may be the same or different.

[0073] In some embodiments, the edit track clip is displayed as a thumbnail image style when it is collapsed, and switching the first edit track clip from collapsed to expanded includes expanding the first thumbnail image displayed when the first edit track clip is collapsed into a first set of thumbnail images, the first set of thumbnail images corresponding to a set of keyframes of a second material, the second material being the material corresponding to the first edit track clip.

[0074] In the above embodiment, a collapsed edit track clip may be displayed as a thumbnail image style, and an expanded edit track clip may be displayed as a thumbnail image set style. This allows the first edit track clip to be expanded from the first thumbnail image to the first thumbnail image set, so that when a second trigger operation is received for the first edit track clip, the first edit track clip switches from a collapsed state to an expanded state.

[0075] Here, the second material may be the material corresponding to the first edit track clip. In other words, the first edit track clip may be the edit track clip of the second material. The first thumbnail image may be thought of as the thumbnail image displayed when the first edit track is collapsed. This thumbnail image may be the thumbnail image associated with the second material. The first set of thumbnail images may be thought of as the set of thumbnail images displayed when the first edit track clip is expanded. This set of thumbnail images may be a set of at least some thumbnail images associated with the second material, such as a set of thumbnail images corresponding to keyframes in the second material.

[0076] In this embodiment, as one option, the user can slide between the set of thumbnail images displayed on an expanded editing track clip and the set of thumbnail images displayed on an expanded editing track clip.

[0077] For example, as shown in Figure 5, if an expanded editing track clip 35 (e.g., the first editing track clip) is displayed in the preset sub-area, the user can switch the current material by sliding, for example, by sliding to the left in the time-length editing interface or the first area to switch the current material to the next material in the target media content, and / or by sliding to the right in the time-length editing interface or the first area to switch the current material to the previous material in the target media content.

[0078] Furthermore, for example, the user may switch between currently displayed, expanded editing track clips in a preset sub-area using a sliding method, and control the movement of each thumbnail image displayed in the first area (including thumbnail images located within a thumbnail image set) to the left by sliding to the left in the first area to switch the currently displayed, expanded editing track clip in the preset sub-area to the next editing track clip 35 that is currently displayed, and control the movement of each thumbnail image displayed in the first area (including thumbnail images located within a thumbnail image set) to the right by sliding to the right in the first area to switch the currently displayed, expanded editing track clip in the preset sub-area to the previous editing track clip 35 that is currently displayed. To facilitate editing by the user, it is conceivable that the next editing track clip may still be in an expanded state when switching to the next editing track clip.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the first edit track clip is switched from a collapsed state to an expanded state in response to a second trigger operation, the display of other edit track clips other than the first edit track clip displayed in the first area can be canceled, or the display positions of other edit track clips other than the first edit track clip displayed in the first area can be adjusted based on the display position of the first edit track clip, in order to avoid overlapping display of other edit track clips after the first edit track clip is expanded and to allow the user to check and adjust each edit track clip. In this case, the media content editing method according to this embodiment may further include the step of canceling the display of edit track clips other than the first edit track clip in the time length adjustment interface in response to a second trigger operation on the first edit track clip, or the step of adjusting the display positions of edit track clips other than the first edit track clip in the time length adjustment interface based on the display position of the first edit track clip in response to a second trigger operation on the first edit track clip.

[0080] In this embodiment, the method by which the display positions of editing track clips other than the first editing track clip are adjusted in the first region based on the display position of the first editing track clip can be set as needed. As one option, the step of adjusting the display positions of editing track clips other than the first editing track in the time length adjustment interface based on the display position of the first editing track clip includes the step of controlling the editing track clip located on the first side of the first editing track clip to move along a first direction to a region other than the preset sub-region, and / or the step of controlling the editing track clip located on the second side of the first editing track clip to move along a second direction to a region other than the preset region.

[0081] The first side and the second side, as well as the first direction and the second direction, may be set as necessary. For example, the first side and the second side may be corresponding sides. The first direction and the second direction may be two opposite directions. The first direction may be a direction corresponding to the first side, such as the direction from the first edit track clip to the edit track clip located on its first side. The second direction may be a direction corresponding to the second side, such as the direction from the first edit track clip to the edit track clip located on its second side.

[0082] In the above embodiment, when the first edit track clip is switched from a folded state to an unfolded state, the edit track clip located on the first side of the first edit track clip can be controlled to move out of the preset sub-region of the first region along the first direction, and / or the edit track clip located on the second side of the first edit track clip can be controlled to move out of the preset sub-region of the first region along the second direction.

[0083] When each edit track clip is arranged horizontally and the first edit track clip is in an expanded state, taking a horizontal edit track clip as an example, when the first edit track clip is switched from a collapsed state to an expanded state, the first edit track clip in the expanded state can be displayed in the preset sub-area. Furthermore, the edit track clip displayed to the left of the first edit track clip in the first area can be moved to the left out of the preset sub-area, and / or the edit track clip displayed to the right of the first edit track clip in the first area can be moved to the right out of the preset sub-area.

[0084] S204, in response to the third trigger operation, the edit track clip displayed in the preset sub-area is switched from the first edit track clip to the second edit track clip, the second edit track clip being the edit track clip corresponding to the third trigger operation, and the second edit track clip being displayed in the preset sub-area in an expanded state.

[0085] The third trigger operation may be a trigger operation that instructs to switch the edit track clip that is in the expanded state in the preset sub-region. The method of performing the third trigger operation is not limited. As one option, the third trigger operation includes a preset slide operation acting within the preset sub-region, a trigger operation on the second edit track clip, or a trigger operation acting within the associated sub-region corresponding to the second edit track clip. The associated sub-region is a sub-region related to the preset sub-region.

[0086] A preset slide operation may be a slide operation that acts within a preset sub-area, such as an operation that slides along the arrangement direction of each edit track within the preset sub-area. A trigger operation for an edit track clip (e.g., a second edit track clip) may be an operation that triggers an edit track clip other than the first edit track clip, such as an operation that triggers an edit track clip displayed outside the preset sub-area. A trigger operation that acts within an associated sub-area may be an operation that triggers an associated sub-area of ​​the preset sub-area, such as a click operation. The associated sub-area may be an area related to the preset sub-area, and may be located within or outside the preset sub-area. Hereinafter, the case where the associated sub-area is located outside the preset sub-area will be explained as an example. In this case, the associated sub-area may be a sub-area located outside the preset sub-area and related to the preset sub-area in the first area, such as a sub-area located around the preset sub-area.

[0087] The second edit track clip is thought to be an edit track clip that is switched by the third trigger operation, such as an edit track clip corresponding to the sliding direction of the third trigger operation, an edit track clip on which the third trigger operation functions, or an edit track clip corresponding to an edit track clip on which the third trigger operation functions or an associated sub-region on which the third trigger operation functions.

[0088] In this embodiment, when a third trigger operation is received, the expanded editing track clips displayed in the preset sub-area are switched based on the third trigger operation, so that the user can preview material corresponding to a different editing track clip or adjust the duration of different material.

[0089] For example, if the system detects that the user is performing a preset slide operation within a preset sub-area, it determines that a third trigger operation has been received, and based on the slide direction of the third trigger operation, the edit track clip that is currently expanded within the preset sub-area is switched. For example, if the preset slide operation is a horizontal slide operation, and the system detects that the user is sliding to the left within the preset sub-area, the edit track clip of the next material after the current material (e.g., the second material) in the target media content is determined to be the second edit track clip, and the expanded edit track clip displayed in the preset sub-area is switched from the edit track clip of the current material (e.g., the first edit track clip) to the second edit track clip. If the system detects that the user is sliding to the right within the preset sub-area, the edit track clip of the material before the current material (e.g., the second material) in the target media content is determined to be the second edit track clip, and the expanded edit track clip displayed in the preset sub-area is switched from the edit track clip of the current material (e.g., the first edit track clip) to the second edit track clip.

[0090] When the system detects that the user has triggered an edit track clip displayed outside of the preset sub-area, it determines that a third trigger operation has been received. The edit track clip triggered by this third trigger operation is designated as the second edit track clip, and the edit track clip displayed in the preset sub-area and in an expanded state is switched from the current material's edit track clip (e.g., the first edit track clip) to the second edit track clip.

[0091] When it is detected that the user has triggered an associated sub-region 52 containing a preset sub-region, it is determined that a third trigger operation has been received, the edit track clip corresponding to the associated sub-region 52 is determined as the second edit track clip, and the edit track clip displayed in the preset sub-region and in an expanded state is switched from the current material's edit track clip (e.g., the first edit track clip) to the second edit track clip. Here, the prior association between the associated sub-region 52 and the edit track clip can be flexibly set. As an example, as shown in Figure 5, where each edit track clip 35 is arranged horizontally, a preset sub-region may have two associated sub-regions 52 located on its left and right sides. In this case, the edit track clip corresponding to the associated sub-region 52 on the left side of the preset sub-region may be an edit track clip (not shown in Figure 5) located to the left of the first edit track clip and adjacent to the first edit track clip. The edit track clip corresponding to the associated sub-region 52 on the right side of the preset sub-region may be an edit track clip (not shown in Figure 5) located to the right of the first edit track clip and adjacent to the first edit track clip.

[0092] In some embodiments, when an edit track clip is in an expanded state, it can be displayed as a style of a set of thumbnail images. This allows switching between expanded edit track clips in a preset sub-area to switch the set of thumbnail images displayed in the preset sub-area, for example, switching from a first set of thumbnail images to a second set of thumbnail images. In this case, one option is that when the edit track clip is in an expanded state, it can be displayed as a style of a set of thumbnail images, and the step of switching the edit track clip displayed in the preset sub-area from the first edit track clip to the second edit track clip includes the step of switching the first set of thumbnail images displayed in the preset sub-area to the second set of thumbnail images. The first set of thumbnail images is the set of thumbnail images displayed when the first edit track clip is in an expanded state, and the second set of thumbnail images is the set of thumbnail images displayed when the second edit track is in an expanded state.

[0093] The media content editing method according to this embodiment supports the user switching a collapsed editing track clip to an expanded state, or switching between expanded editing track clips, and adjusting the duration of the material corresponding to the expanded editing track clip, thereby further enriching the display method of editing track clips and the method of adjusting the duration of the material.

[0094] Figure 8 is a structural block diagram of a media content editing device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The device can be implemented by software and / or hardware and can be installed on an electronic device, for example, to be installed on a mobile phone or tablet computer, and can edit media content by performing a media content editing method, for example, to edit media content containing different types of material.
