Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in light of the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. As is clear, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained without creative efforts by those skilled in the art shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0014] Note that all user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.) related to this application are information and data approved by the user or fully approved by all relevant parties. The collection, use, and processing of related data need to comply with the relevant laws, regulations, and standards of the relevant countries and regions. In addition, an operation portal is provided to enable the user to select approval or rejection.

[0015] The application scenarios of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below.

[0016] Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating an application scenario of the online video editing method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, and the method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to various online video editing application scenarios. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the method provided in the embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to a terminal device, which communicates with the cloud (shown as a cloud server in the figure), runs a short video application client within the terminal device, has a video playback interface within the short video client, the terminal device retrieves video data sent from the cloud and plays it within the video playback interface, and when a user views a video of interest, they can jump to the video editing interface by triggering a video transfer or video editing component (shown as clicking a video processing component in the figure), and then use the video editing tools provided in the video editing interface to edit the currently playing video, for example by adding video effects, adding filters, etc., thereby generating an edited target video and achieving the objective of secondary editing the online video. Subsequently, the target video generated in the above process can be further stored and transferred according to specific needs.

[0017] In the aforementioned online video editing applications, conventional technology requires the terminal device to first download the complete online video locally before editing it via the terminal device. For example, the short video shown in Figure 1 must be downloaded entirely locally, then loaded from the local device into the video editing function unit within the short video client, and only then can the video be edited. This results in a long waiting time before video editing, reducing the efficiency and smoothness of the video editing process.

[0018] Embodiments of this disclosure provide an online video editing method for solving the problems described above.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a flowchart I of an online video editing method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method of this embodiment is applicable to a terminal device, and the online video editing method includes the following:

[0020] Step S101: In response to importing the initial video into the video editing task, the cloud receives video clips that have been sliced ​​and sent from the initial video, and each video clip contains at least one video frame from the initial video.

[0021] For illustrative purposes, please refer to the schematic diagram of the application scenario shown in Figure 1. The implementer of the method provided in this embodiment is a terminal device, which runs a video playback client such as a short video client. Upon receiving an editing operation from the user, the terminal device determines an initial video corresponding to the selection and editing, for example, by determining the video identifier of the initial video, and then, based on the video identifier, retrieves a video clip corresponding to the initial video from a cloud that stores the initial video, the video clip containing at least one video frame of the initial video. The terminal device then plays the video clip on the video editing page. Here, a video clip, also called a video slice, is a video data packet, and exemplary, a video data packet corresponding to a video clip includes a progress identifier to characterize the video playback position and corresponding video frame data. After receiving the video data packet, the terminal device can perform independent decoding and playback based on the video data packet. The video clips in the initial video may be pre-divided. For example, the initial video may be divided according to a predetermined video data packet size, and further divided according to a predetermined number of video data packets, thereby obtaining several video data packets, i.e., video clips.

[0022] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the process for acquiring video clips provided in the embodiments of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, the terminal device sends a video request to a cloud server corresponding to the cloud, and the cloud server then sends at least one video clip of the corresponding original video to the terminal device in streaming transmission mode based on the video request. After receiving the video clips, the terminal device plays each video clip sequentially according to the playback timestamp corresponding to the video clip, and realizes a video preview function on the editing page.

[0023] Furthermore, when the terminal device loads the initial video for the first time, the video editing page defaults to either playing the initial video from the first frame or statically displaying the first frame of the initial video. In this case, the video clip of the initial video retrieved by the terminal device from the cloud is the first video clip of the initial video. On the other hand, if the terminal device is not loading the initial video for the first time, for example, if all or part of the initial video has been downloaded previously, the corresponding video clip is retrieved based on the download progress.

[0024] In one possible implementation method, as shown in Figure 4, the specific implementation method of step S101 includes the following:

[0025] Step S1011: Obtain download information corresponding to the initial video, and the download information will characterize the current download progress of the initial video.

[0026] Step S1012: Determine the video clip identifier based on the download information.

[0027] Step S1013: Send a download request to the cloud based on the clip identifier, thereby retrieving the target video clip corresponding to the clip identifier.

[0028] For example, in response to an editing command for an initial video, after entering the video editing interface, the terminal device obtains download information that characterizes the current download progress of the initial video. Specifically, the download information may be a specific download ratio value or a video clip identifier corresponding to a video clip. If the download information is a download ratio value, for example 0.3, then the download ratio of the initial video is characterized as 30%. In this case, a conversion is performed based on the download ratio value and the progress identifiers corresponding to the video clips that have been pre-divided in the initial video, thereby obtaining the corresponding video clip identifier. Furthermore, after determining the video clip identifier, a corresponding download request is sent to the cloud based on the video clip identifier, thereby obtaining the corresponding target video clip.

[0029] Herein, in one possible implementation, the specific implementation of step S1011 includes the following:

[0030] Step S1011A: Load cache data corresponding to the initial video.

[0031] Step S1011B: Generate download information corresponding to the initial video based on the amount of cache data loaded.

[0032] For example, in response to an editing command for an initial video, the terminal device enters the video editing interface and first searches locally based on the identifier of the initial video to obtain the storage address of the corresponding cache data, where the cache data includes video data packets corresponding to one or more video clips, and these video data packets are stored locally in the terminal device in a predetermined data format. Specifically, the cache data may be stored on the terminal device's local hard disk. Subsequently, the cache data is loaded into memory, and the corresponding download progress, i.e., download information, is determined based on the amount of cache data loaded. Specifically, for example, after loading all the cache data at the storage address, the corresponding download progress, i.e., download information, is determined based on the ratio of the amount of cache data loaded to the total data amount of the initial video.

[0033] In this embodiment, during the process of receiving video clips that the cloud has sliced ​​and sent from the initial video, download information corresponding to the initial video is obtained, and based on the download information, a target video clip corresponding to the current download progress is determined, and subsequent streaming downloads are performed based on the target video clip, thereby realizing the function of continuous breakpoint transmission. When the same initial video is loaded multiple times, it is not necessary to repeatedly download the initial video, and the loading efficiency of the initial video is improved.

[0034] Furthermore, after acquiring the video clip, the video clip is played in the video editing interface. In one possible implementation, as shown in Figure 5, the specific implementation of step S102 includes the following:

[0035] Step S1021: Obtain the playback progress corresponding to the video clip and the download progress corresponding to the initial video.

[0036] Step S1022: If the difference between the download progress and the playback progress is greater than a predetermined time, play the video frame images of the video clip.

[0037] For example, the corresponding playback progress of a video clip can be determined by the video clip's progress identifier. The corresponding download progress of the initial video can be obtained by the amount of cached data loaded; however, this will not be repeated here as it can be specifically described in the relevant section of the previous example. For example, the playback progress and download progress are converted to the same time coordinate system; for instance, the playback progress and download progress are converted to a unified playback timestamp for the initial video. Then, the difference between the download progress and the playback progress is calculated. If the difference is less than a predetermined time length—for example, if the predetermined time length is 3 seconds—it means that the download progress is slightly ahead of the playback progress. In this case, if network fluctuations occur afterward, the playback progress may catch up to the download progress, potentially resulting in video playback lag and affecting the video playback effect. On the other hand, if the difference between the download progress and the playback progress is greater than a predetermined time, it means that the download progress is significantly ahead of the playback progress. In this case, even if network fluctuations occur afterward, it can be guaranteed that the playback progress will not be able to catch up with the download progress, thereby avoiding video playback lag and improving the smoothness and playback effect of the video. Therefore, in the steps of this embodiment, if it is determined that the difference between the download progress and the playback progress is greater than a predetermined time, the video frame images of the video clip are played. However, if it is determined that the difference between the download progress and the playback progress is smaller than a predetermined time, the playback of the video clip may be paused and a prompt displayed. This avoids unreasonable lag during the video playback process, which would affect the smoothness of the video preview, and improves the user experience.

[0038] Step S102: If not all video clips of the initial video have been received, in response to a first editing command that places the initial video on the video editing track of the video editing interface, the video track clip corresponding to the initial video is displayed on the video editing track, and the video frame images of the video clips of the initial video that have been received are displayed in the video preview area.

[0039] In conventional technology, after receiving video clips sent from the cloud, subsequent video editing steps can only be executed after all video clips of the initial video have been received. In this embodiment, if not all video clips of the initial video have been received, in response to a first editing command in which the initial video is placed on the video editing track of the video editing interface, on the one hand, a video track clip corresponding to the initial video is displayed on the video editing track, and on the other hand, video frame images of the received video clips are displayed in the video preview area. Here, the video editing track is a component in the video editing interface that represents the content of the video playback and allows the video to be edited frame by frame. Similarly, the video editing interface also has an audio editing track, a video effects track, etc., and the audio editing track and video preview area are common settings in video editing software, so they will not be repeated here. Here, the image displayed on the video editing track is a video track clip, which contains images of multiple frames and is usually displayed in the form of microfilm. The user can select an image of one of these frames by operating the video marking track and display it in the video preview area.

[0040] Step S103: If not all video clips of the initial video have been received, in response to a second editing command for the video track clip corresponding to the initial video, the identifier of the second editing command is displayed on the editing track and the target video frame image is displayed in the video preview area, the second editing command is for editing the initial video. The target video frame image is intended to show the video frame images of the received video clips from the initial video as the result of editing by the second editing command.

[0041] For example, a video editing interface may represent a video track clip on its video editing track, and simultaneously play the video clip in the video preview area. At the same time, the terminal device can receive a second editing command for the video track clip input by the user, thereby editing the initial video and obtaining a target video frame image, such as adding a mapping effect or a filter effect. The identifier of the second editing command is then displayed on the editing track. In one possible implementation, the identifier of the second editing command may be a track such as an effects track parallel to the video editing track clip, or it may be a marker appearing on the video track clip to indicate splitting or video shifting.

[0042] Here, since the initial video consists of multiple video clips, an editing command for a video clip is equivalent to an editing command for the initial video, and specifically includes, for example, adding a video filter to a video clip or adding a video effect to a video clip. Furthermore, in response to an editing command in the video editing interface, corresponding video editing parameters are generated, and these video editing parameters indicate the content to be edited and the video frames to which the corresponding effect will be applied. For example, editing command #1 is for adding filter A to all video frames in the initial video, and editing command #2 is for adding effect mapping B to the first to the Nth video frame in the initial video. Subsequently, in response to an editing command for a video clip, after editing the video clip, a target video is obtained, which is a preview video for displaying the editing result corresponding to the video clip.

[0043] Here, the target video may overwrite the video clip in the video editing interface or it may be displayed independently in the video editing interface. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the video editing interface provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in Figure 6, the video editing interface includes a first playback component and a second playback component, the first playback component for playing the video frame images of the video clip, and the second playback component for playing the target video frame images, please refer to Figure 6. In response to an editing command, clicking the "Filter" control adds a filter to the video clip, retrieves the target video, and plays the video clip and the corresponding target video in sync by the first and second playback components based on a unified timestamp. This achieves the purpose of comparative display, displays the editing results intuitively, and allows the user to better observe the effect of editing the initial video based on the target video.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cloud receives video clips that have been sliced ​​and sent from the initial video, and each video clip contains at least one video frame from the initial video. The video clip is played in the video editing interface. The target video frame image is displayed in the video preview area, and editing commands are for editing the video clip. The target video displays the editing result corresponding to the video clip. When downloading video material to perform editing, the method provided in this embodiment receives video clips that have been sliced ​​and sent from the initial video by the cloud, stream loads the video clips, and then stream edits the video clips according to the editing commands, thereby achieving slice loading and slice editing of the initial video, eliminating the need to download the complete initial video locally before editing, thus avoiding long waiting times for downloads before video editing and improving the efficiency and smoothness of video editing.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 7, which is a flowchart II of the online video editing method provided in the embodiment of this disclosure. This embodiment is based on the embodiment shown in Figure 2, further subdivides the scheme, and adds a processing scheme for jump playback within the video editing page. The online video editing method provided in this embodiment includes the following: Step S201: Obtain reference information from the initial video, and the reference information characterizes the slicing rules of the initial video.

[0046] Step S202: If not all video clips of the initial video have been received, send a first download request to the cloud based on the reference information to retrieve the initial video clips.

[0047] Step S203: In response to a first editing command in which the initial video is placed on the video editing track of the video editing interface, the video track clip corresponding to the initial video is displayed on the video editing track, and the video frame images of the received video clips from the initial video are displayed in the video preview area.

[0048] For example, the reference information for the initial video is information that characterizes the slicing rules for the initial video. This reference information may be pre-stored in the cloud or locally on the terminal device. More specifically, the slicing rules can be, for example, slicing according to the size of the video clip, slicing according to the length of the video clip, or slicing according to the number of video clips. These can be set as needed, so we will not repeat them here. When the initial video is loaded for the first time, the cloud slices the initial video based on this reference information, thereby enabling the streaming loading of subsequent video slices. The specific implementation of slicing video based on the slicing rules is prior art, so we will not repeat it here.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the terminal device receives an editing command for the initial video for the first time, it acquires reference information and sends a first download request to the cloud based on the reference information. The cloud slices the initial video based on the reference information and sends the initial video clip (i.e., the first video clip of the initial video) to the terminal device. Upon receiving the initial video clip, the terminal device performs static display (display of the first frame) or dynamic playback of the initial video clip. In this embodiment, by providing reference information, the granularity of the video clip slices is established, so that different initial videos have corresponding division methods in different application scenarios, improving the flexibility of video slicing.

[0050] Step S204: If not all video clips of the initial video have been received, in response to a video jump command, the corresponding video jump position is determined, and based on the video jump position, the corresponding video clip identifier is determined.

[0051] Step S205: Based on the reference information and video clip identifier, generate a second download request and send it to the cloud.

[0052] Exemplary, in one possible case, the terminal device receives a jump playback operation entered by the user, such as dragging a video editing track or clicking a progress position on a video editing track. Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of video jump playback provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in Figure 8, when the terminal device receives a jump operation command, such as clicking a target position P1 on a video editing track, the terminal device directly jumps to playback (seeks) the video clip at the location of the target position P1. In the jump playback scene, a corresponding video clip identifier is determined based on the video jump position corresponding to the video jump command, where the video clip identifier is an identifier that characterizes the playback position or playback progress, and may be determined directly based on a control value of the jump playback control, specifically the percentage of video playback. Subsequently, a download request is generated based on the video slice rule characterized by the reference information and the video clip identifier, and the download request generated based on the video slice rule characterized by the reference information and the video clip identifier can uniquely determine a single video clip, and the download request is then sent to the cloud to obtain the jump video bandwidth which is the corresponding video clip.

[0053] Step S206: Determine the target memory location.

[0054] Step S207: Pause the download of other video clips, receive the jump video clip sent from the cloud, and store the jump video clip in the target storage location.

[0055] When a terminal device streams a video, it downloads each video clip sequentially based on the playback order of the initial video. Therefore, if a jump playback occurs, and the terminal device has not downloaded the video clip corresponding to the video jump position, playback will not be possible. One possible implementation is for the terminal device to sequentially download each video clip based on the download progress of the initial video until it has downloaded the jump video clip corresponding to the video jump position, and then play the jump video clip. However, this implementation method results in a certain (download) waiting time, causing a visual lag and affecting the smoothness of video playback.

[0056] In this embodiment, when a video jump playback situation occurs, the download of other video clips is first paused, and priority is given to downloading the jump video clip corresponding to the video jump position. The jump video clip is then acquired, and subsequently stored in a predetermined target storage location. In the following step, the video jump position is loaded from the target storage location and played back. The steps in this embodiment enable rapid playback of the video after a video jump operation, eliminating the need for extra (download) waiting time. This improves the smoothness of video playback.

[0057] The specific method for pausing the download of other video clips and prioritizing the download of the jump video clip can be achieved by changing the order of the download task queue and setting the download task corresponding to the jump video clip at the top of the download task queue, so the specific method for achieving this will not be repeated here.

[0058] Here, the target storage location further includes memory or a hard disk, and an exemplary specific implementation of step S206 includes the following:

[0059] Step S2061: Detect the available local memory.

[0060] Step S2062: Determine the target storage location based on the available memory capacity, and the target storage location includes either memory or a hard disk.

[0061] For example, when storing video clips, priority is given to loading downloaded video clips into memory because memory processes data quickly and efficiently. In this embodiment, the available local memory capacity of the terminal device is first detected. If the available memory capacity is greater than a predetermined threshold, the target storage location is determined to be memory, thereby providing efficient video clip processing. On the other hand, if the available memory capacity is less than a predetermined threshold, the target storage location is determined to be the hard disk, thereby ensuring memory capacity redundancy and providing system stability. For example, the data stored in the target storage location is cache data. Subsequently, by loading the cache data, the corresponding download information, i.e., the download progress of the initial video, can be determined, thereby enabling effects such as breakpoint downloads and dynamic caching.

[0062] Step S208: The second edit command entered by the user is received, and the second edit command includes target edit parameters.

[0063] Step S209: Retrieve the pending video frame from the jump video clip from the target memory location. The pending video frame is a video frame that is after the currently playing video frame in the jump video clip.

[0064] For example, target editing parameters are information that characterizes a particular editing action, such as the type of video editing, including adding filters, sticker effects, and skin beautification. Other examples include parameters corresponding to the editing action, such as the type of filter or the sticker identifier in a sticker effect. The target editing parameters in an editing command are user-inputted information and can be determined based on the specific interface of the function implementation; therefore, they will not be repeated here.

[0065] Furthermore, pending video frames within the jump video clip are loaded from the target storage location, and these pending video frames are video frames that are after the currently playing video frame of the jump video clip. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of pending video frames provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 9, a video clip (e.g., a jump video clip) contains multiple video frames, and the terminal device plays each video frame sequentially. At the time an edit command is received, the corresponding currently playing video frame (current frame) is, for example, frame P0. Then, from frame P1, which follows frame P0, to frame Pn, which is the final frame of the currently playing video clip, the frames are pending video frames. Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of another pending video frame provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 10, in another possible implementation, the frames from frame Pm to frame Pn, the final frame of the currently playing video clip, can be pending video frames. Here, frames P1 to Pm-1 are pixel data that has not been played back but has been decoded and loaded into the playback queue. The content of the video editing is not displayed in frames P1 to Pm-1, thereby improving the smoothness of video playback.

[0066] Step S210: According to the target editing parameters, the pending video frames are sequentially edited based on the corresponding timestamps to generate the corresponding target video frame images.

[0067] Step S211: When the jump video clip is played up to the video frame awaiting processing, at least one target video frame is sequentially displayed in the video preview area of ​​the video editing interface, and the identifier of the second editing command is displayed on the editing track.

[0068] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 10, the pending video frames are processed sequentially based on timestamps according to the target editing parameters. For example, a video filter is rendered and video mapping is performed on each pending video frame, thereby generating a target video frame corresponding to each pending video frame. When the jump video clip is played up to the pending video frame, for example, if the current frame shown in the figure is the Pm frame, the corresponding target video frame generated by editing the Pm frame is displayed in the video editing interface. Subsequently, if the current frame is the Pm+1 frame, the corresponding target video frame generated by editing the Pm+1 frame is displayed in the video editing interface, and the above process is repeated until the target video frame corresponding to the last frame Pn of the jump video clip has finished playing.

[0069] As an example, specific implementation methods for step S211 include the following:

[0070] Based on the timestamp of the video awaiting processing, the first playback component is called to sequentially play the video frames awaiting processing, and the second playback component is called to sequentially play the target video frames, both in a synchronized manner. As shown in the schematic diagram of the video editing interface in Figure 6, by using the first and second playback components to synchronize the playback of the video frames awaiting processing and the target video frames based on the timestamp of the video awaiting processing, a comparative display of the video frames awaiting processing and the target video frames is achieved, allowing the user to more intuitively check the editing effect and improving the efficiency of video editing.

[0071] Selectively, after step S209, the following are also included:

[0072] Step S212: After receiving the termination command, the video clip and corresponding editing information are serialized, interruption data is generated, and stored on the hard disk.

[0073] Step S213: Exit the video editing interface.

[0074] For example, during the process of editing an initial video, the video editing interface is terminated according to the user's specific needs. Specifically, after receiving a termination command, the terminal device closes the video editing interface in response to the command, and simultaneously serializes the video clips acquired in the previous step and the corresponding editing information to generate interruption data. Here, the video clips are data downloaded from the cloud and include video clips downloaded sequentially based on the playback order of the initial video and jump video clips downloaded in response to jump commands. The editing information is recorded information for the editing commands and is used to characterize the specific editing content of the initial video. The interruption data is then stored on the hard disk. Then, the video editing interface is terminated. Here, the step of generating and storing the interruption data and the step of terminating the video editing interface are not temporally related. That is, it is possible to generate and store the interruption data on the hard disk and then terminate the video editing interface, or to terminate the video editing interface and then generate and store the interruption data on the hard disk.

[0075] Step S214: After receiving an import command for the initial video, the interrupt data is deserialized and loaded into memory, and the video clip and corresponding editing information are obtained.

[0076] Step S215: Launch the video editing interface and generate the output video based on the video clip and corresponding editing information.

[0077] Furthermore, after the user exits the video editing interface, if the user loads the same initial video and enters the corresponding video editing interface, the terminal device can, for example, deserialize the previously generated interruption data and load it into memory to restore the video clip and its corresponding editing information. Then, it can launch the video editing interface and continue playing the corresponding video clip based on the video clip and its corresponding editing information. Alternatively, it can return to step S203, jump-play the initial video, continue editing the initial video, and finally generate the edited video, i.e., the output video.

[0078] In this embodiment, when the video editing interface is terminated, video clips and corresponding editing information are generated as interruption data. This allows the previously downloaded video clips and edited target video to be restored using the generated interruption data when the same initial video is re-downloaded. This achieves the objective of generating an editing script, eliminating the need to re-download or edit the initial video, and improving video editing efficiency.
