[0033] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a video editing method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium to enrich video editing methods and reduce the editing difficulty when generating videos using templates.

[0034] The video editing method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure obtain a video editing template and obtain image materials used to fill the to-be-filled segments in the video editing template. The image materials are used to form video segments of a video editing draft, and at least some of the image materials are preset image materials. The preset image materials are used to fill the to-be-filled segments in the video editing template that have not yet been filled by the user; and a video editing effect is generated based on the video editing template and the image materials. By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the embodiments of the present disclosure support the generation of video editing effects based on the image materials filled in each to-be-filled segment of the video editing template when the user has not yet added image materials to at least some of the to-be-filled segments. This can enrich the method of generating video editing effects and reduce the difficulty of generating video editing effects.

[0035] FIG1 is a flow chart of a video editing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be executed by a video editing device, wherein the device can be implemented by software and / or hardware and can be configured in an electronic device. Typically, the device can be configured in a mobile phone or a tablet computer. The video editing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is suitable for generating a video preview effect scene when the user has not yet filled in at least part of the to-be-filled segments in the template with image materials. For example, a scene in which a new video is generated or a video to be generated is previewed when image materials are added to only part of the to-be-filled segments in the template. As shown in FIG1 , the video editing method provided by this embodiment may include:

[0036] S101: Obtain a video editing template and obtain image materials for filling in unfilled segments in the video editing template. The image materials are used to form video segments in a video editing draft, and at least some of the image materials are preset image materials. The preset image materials are used to fill in unfilled segments in the video editing template that have not yet been filled by the user.

[0037] A video editing template can be a template used to edit and generate videos. A video editing template is equivalent to an incomplete editing draft. Compared with an ordinary video editing draft, a video editing template can specify that some video clips on the video editing track require the user to fill in image materials. A video editing template can contain editing information and may contain some materials that do not require the user to fill in. For example, there may be some video clips that are filled with materials that come with the template and do not require the user to fill in or even do not support user filling. The editing information at least indicates the video clips that need to be filled with image materials. After the image materials are filled, a complete video editing draft can be formed. Therefore, when previewing, the image can be rendered based on the editing effect of the video editing draft to obtain a preview screen. When generating a video, the image materials can be edited and processed based on the editing information to synthesize the video.

[0038] A video editing template may include one or more unfilled segments that require the user to fill in image material. A unfilled segment can be understood as a slot for the user to fill in image material. This image material can be considered to be image-based video material, such as video material or picture material. At least some of the unfilled segments in the video editing template are unfilled segments that the user has not yet filled in. In other words, a video editing template may include unfilled segments that the user has not yet filled in, and may or may not include unfilled segments that the user has already filled in with image material.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the user has not filled at least part of the to-be-filled segments in the video editing template with image materials, the video editing template and the image materials used to fill the to-be-filled segments in the video editing template can be obtained.

[0040] For example, when the user has not yet filled at least some of the to-be-filled segments in the video editing template with image materials (e.g., when the user has only filled some of the to-be-filled segments with image materials or when the user has not filled all of the to-be-filled segments with image materials), the video editing template and the image materials used to fill the to-be-filled segments in the video editing template can be obtained in response to the user's triggering operation for instructing to generate a video editing effect. This facilitates subsequent generation of a video editing effect based on the obtained video editing template and image materials.

[0041] Here, the triggering operation for instructing to generate a video editing effect is not limited. For example, the triggering operation for instructing to generate a video editing effect can be a preview operation for instructing to generate a video editing draft and displaying a preview screen of a video clip in the video editing draft, or a video generation operation for instructing to generate a target video.

[0042] S102: Generate a video editing effect according to the video editing template and the image material.

[0043] Specifically, after obtaining a video editing template and image materials used to fill the segments to be filled in the video editing template, a video editing effect can be generated according to the obtained video editing template and image materials.

[0044] When generating a video editing effect, for example, a video editing draft can be generated based on the acquired video editing template and image material, and a preview of the video clip in the video editing draft can be displayed. Alternatively, the image material filled in the video editing template can be edited based on the acquired editing information of the video editing template to synthesize the target video.

[0045] In this embodiment, if a video editing template contains unfilled segments that the user hasn't yet filled with image material, preset image material can be used to fill in the unfilled segments. This allows users to create video editing effects even when there are unfilled segments, without having to fill each segment with image material. This enriches the methods for creating video editing effects and reduces the difficulty of creating them.

[0046] In this embodiment, the generated video editing effect can be preset. Alternatively, the video editing effect can also be determined based on the trigger operation used by the user to indicate the generation of the video editing effect, which is not limited in this embodiment. The following describes the process of determining the video editing effect by taking the method of determining the video editing effect based on the trigger operation used by the user to indicate the generation of the video editing effect as an example. The trigger operation used by the user to indicate the generation of the video editing effect may include, for example, a preview operation or a video generation operation. When the trigger operation performed by the user to indicate the generation of the video editing effect is different, different video editing effects can be generated.

[0047] In some embodiments, when acquiring image materials to generate a video editing draft (such as when the triggering operation performed by the user to indicate the generation of a video editing effect is a preview operation), after acquiring the video editing template and the image materials used to fill the segments to be filled in the video editing template, the video editing draft can be generated based on the acquired video editing template and image materials. A preview screen of the video segments in the video editing draft can also be displayed. For example, the rendered preview screen of the image materials added to each segment to be filled can be displayed in sequence according to the arrangement order of each segment to be filled in the video editing template for the user to view. At this time, optionally, the video editing effect includes a preview screen. The process of generating a video editing effect based on the video editing template and the image material includes: generating a video editing draft based on the video editing template and the image material, and displaying a preview screen of the video segment in the video editing draft.

[0048] In the above embodiment, the display method of the preview screen is not limited. For example, the preview screen obtained by rendering each image material can be displayed in the editing interface. For example, the preview screen obtained by rendering each image material is displayed in the first area 20 of the editing interface, as shown in Figure 2, so as to meet the user's preview needs and editing needs at the same time. At this time, optionally, the display of the preview screen of the video clip in the video editing draft includes: displaying the editing interface, and displaying the preview screen of the video clip in the video editing draft in the first area 20 of the editing interface.

[0049] The editing interface can be an interface for users to edit video clips in a video editing draft. The editing interface can include an area for displaying a preview screen of the video clip in the video editing draft, namely the first area 20. Optionally, as shown in Figure 2, a preview progress bar 21 is also displayed in the first area 20. The preview progress bar 21 is used to indicate the current preview progress. Compared with displaying the preview progress bar 21 separately outside the first area 20, the preview progress bar 21 can reduce the space occupied by the editing interface display. The preview progress bar 21 can correspond to the video clip corresponding to the currently displayed preview screen, or it can correspond to the video editing draft. In other words, the preview progress bar 21 can be a progress bar corresponding to a single video clip, or it can be a progress bar corresponding to the video editing draft. The following description takes the preview progress bar 21 as the progress bar corresponding to the video editing draft as an example.

[0050] Optionally, the editing interface further includes a second area and / or a third area. The second area displays at least one first-level editing item. The third area displays an object identifier of at least one object to be edited. The at least one object to be edited corresponds to a selected first-level editing item among the at least one first-level editing item.

[0051] As shown in Figure 2, the editing interface may also include a second area 22 and / or a third area 23. The second area 22 may be an area within the editing interface for displaying editing items. These editing items may include primary editing items and / or secondary editing items, which can be used to edit video clips in the video editing draft. For example, different primary editing items can be used to edit different types of objects to be edited. The third area 23 may be an area for displaying object identifiers of objects to be edited. These objects to be edited can be understood as objects available for the user to edit. They may include objects already added to the video editing template and / or candidate objects for the user to select and add to the video editing template. The type of object to be edited is not limited. For example, the object to be edited may include a video clip in the video editing draft, candidate background audio materials available for the user to select, text, filters, or stickers already added to the video editing draft, and so on. The object identifier of the object to be edited can be considered to be the identifier of the object to be edited, such as the video clip identifier of a video clip, the audio identifier of a candidate background audio, a text identifier, a filter identifier, and / or a sticker identifier.

[0052] For example, when the editing interface is switched to in response to a preview operation, a preview screen of the video clip in the video editing draft and a preview progress bar 21 of the video editing draft can be displayed in sequence in the first area 20 of the editing interface. At least one first-level editing item is displayed in the second area 22 of the editing interface, and a certain first-level editing item can be displayed as selected. The object identifier of the object to be edited corresponding to the first-level editing item in the selected state is displayed in the third area 23 of the editing interface. For example, the first-level video clip editing item can be displayed as selected, and the video clip identifier of at least one video clip in the video editing draft can be displayed in the third area 23, as shown in FIG2 .

[0053] In this embodiment, the user can adjust the preview progress by performing a progress adjustment operation. Considering that the user generally focuses their gaze on the first area 20 during the progress adjustment operation, preview progress information 24 indicating the progress adjustment operation is currently being performed can be further displayed at a preset position in the first area 20, as shown in FIG3 . This allows the user to more quickly adjust to the desired preview progress. The preview progress information 24 added to the first area 20 can be removed when the progress adjustment operation is completed.

[0054] At this time, optionally, after displaying the editing interface, the method further includes: in response to a progress adjustment operation on the video editing draft, during the execution of the progress adjustment operation, displaying preview progress information corresponding to the progress adjustment operation at a preset position in the first area. When the progress adjustment operation is completed, canceling the display of the preview progress information.

[0055] The preview progress information may be information about the current preview progress that the progress adjustment operation currently indicates to adjust to. For example, the current duration that the progress adjustment operation currently indicates to adjust to. The preview progress information may further include the total duration of the video editing draft. The current duration may be understood as the time node corresponding to the current preview progress in the video editing draft. There is no limit to the execution method of the progress adjustment operation, such as the progress adjustment operation may be performed by dragging the progress indicator in the preview progress bar. The progress indicator in the preview progress bar may be used to indicate the current preview progress. When the progress indicator is located at different positions of the preview progress, the current preview progress indicated by it is different.

[0056] It is understood that preview progress information may or may not be displayed outside the first area. When preview progress information is displayed outside the first area, the preview progress information displayed outside the first area may be maintained during the progress adjustment process, as shown in FIG3 . The preview progress information displayed outside the first area may also be canceled. When the progress adjustment process is completed, the preview progress information displayed outside the first area may be redisplayed.

[0057] In some embodiments, when acquiring image material to generate a target video (such as when the trigger operation performed by the user to indicate the generation of a video editing effect is a video generation operation), after acquiring a video editing template and the image material for filling the segment to be filled in the video editing template, the acquired image material can be edited based on the editing information of the video editing template. In this way, a target video is generated so that the user can view, save or publish the generated target video. At this time, optionally, the generation of a video editing effect based on the video editing template and the image material includes: using the video editing template to process the image material to generate a target video. The target video can be a video that is finally generated based on the image material added in the video editing template. The video generation operation can be a trigger operation for indicating the generation of a video based on the image material added in the video editing template, such as the operation of triggering the export control 25 (as shown in FIG. 2 ) displayed in the material filling interface or editing interface.

[0058] In this embodiment, when a video editing template contains unfilled segments to which the user has not yet added image materials, the current application can add preset image materials to the unfilled segments. In this way, even if the user has not added image materials to all the unfilled segments, it is still possible to generate a video editing draft based on the video editing template and preview the video segments in the generated video editing draft, or generate a target video based on the video editing template.

[0059] In some embodiments, the preset image material includes a first preset image material and / or a second preset image material, wherein the first preset image material corresponds to the original material sample filled in the to-be-filled segment, and the second preset image material is a set image material.

[0060] The original material sample can be an image material sample originally added to the video editing template and used as an example for the user. The first preset image material can be a preset image material corresponding to the original material sample, such as a preset image material derived based on the original material sample. The second preset image material can be a pre-set image material that can be used to fill different segments to be filled.

[0061] In the above embodiment, when obtaining image materials for filling the to-be-filled segments in the video editing template, preset image materials can be filled into the to-be-filled segments in the video editing template that have not yet been filled with image materials by the user. The preset image materials filled can be set as needed.

[0062] For example, for a segment to be filled that has not yet been filled with image material by the user in a video editing template, the original material sample added to the segment to be filled can be determined, and then a first preset image material corresponding to the original material sample can be obtained and filled into the segment to be filled.

[0063] For another example, a second preset image material can be pre-set to be added to each different segment to be filled. When obtaining image materials for filling the segment to be filled in the video editing template, the pre-set second preset image material can be obtained and filled into the segment to be filled that the user has not yet filled. For example, the original material sample or the first preset image material filled in the segment to be filled in the video editing template that the user has not yet filled can be replaced with the second preset image material.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first preset image material used to fill a segment to be filled that has not yet been filled with image material by a user can be obtained based on a sample of the original material in the segment to be filled. For example, the sample of the original material in the filled segment can be used as the first preset image material to be filled in the segment to be filled. A preset image identifier can also be added to the image screen of the original material sample to distinguish it from the image material filled by the user, making it easier for the user to distinguish between the preset image material in the video editing template and the image material added by the user. In this case, optionally, the preset image material includes the first preset image material. Obtaining the image material used to fill the segment to be filled in the video editing template includes: using the original material sample as the first preset image material corresponding to the original material sample. Alternatively, adding a preset image identifier to the original material sample to obtain the first preset image material corresponding to the original material sample. The specific style of the preset image identifier can be set as needed and is not limited in this embodiment. Exemplarily, the preset image identifier can be a watermark identifier used to indicate that the image material is a preset image material.

[0065] In some embodiments, the role of the acquired image material may be ignored (e.g., the specific trigger operation used by the user to indicate the generation of the video editing effect may be ignored), and it may be preset whether to add the first preset image material or the second preset image material to the to-be-filled segment to which the user has not yet added the image material.

[0066] In some embodiments, the role of the acquired image material may also be considered. Based on the role of the acquired image material, determine whether to add the first preset image material or the second preset image material to the second segment to be filled. At this time, optionally, the acquisition of image material for filling the segment to be filled in the video editing template includes: if the image material is acquired this time to generate a video editing draft, then the first preset image material corresponding to the original material sample in the segment to be filled that the user has not yet filled is acquired. The first preset image material is used as the preset image material for filling the segment to be filled that the user has not yet filled. If the image material is acquired this time to generate a target video, the second preset image material is acquired, and the second preset image material is used to replace the first preset image material filled in the segment to be filled that the user has not yet filled.

[0067] Specifically, when it is necessary to obtain image material for filling the to-be-filled segment in the video editing template to generate a video editing draft, a first preset image material corresponding to the original material sample in the to-be-filled segment that the user has not yet filled can be obtained as the preset image material for filling the to-be-filled segment.

[0068] When it is necessary to obtain image materials for filling the to-be-filled segments in the video editing template to generate a target video, a second preset image material can be obtained, and the second preset image material can be used to replace the first preset image material added to the to-be-filled segments that the user has not yet filled. For example, if a video editing draft has been generated before the image material is obtained to generate the target video this time (that is, the first preset image material has been added to the to-be-filled segments that the user has not yet filled), the second preset image material can be used to replace the first preset image material already filled in the to-be-filled segments that the user has not yet filled. If a video editing draft has not been generated before the image material is obtained to generate the target video this time (that is, the to-be-filled segments that the user has not yet filled are still filled with the original material samples), the second preset image material can be used to replace the original material samples in the to-be-filled segments that the user has not yet filled.

[0069] It is understandable that the display style of the filled preset image material can be set as needed. Exemplarily, the video editing draft may include a main editing track and may further include a picture-in-picture editing track. When the clips to be filled are located on different tracks, the filled preset image materials may have different display styles. For example, when the clip to be filled that the user has not yet filled is a clip to be filled on the main editing track, the transparency of the filled preset image material may be a first transparency, and the first transparency is greater than 0. When the clip to be filled that the user has not yet filled is a clip to be filled on the picture-in-picture editing track, the transparency of the filled first preset image material may be a second transparency, and the transparency of the filled second preset image material may be a third transparency. The second transparency is greater than or equal to the third transparency. Optionally, the second transparency may be greater than 0, and the third transparency may be 0.

[0070] The video editing method provided in this embodiment obtains a video editing template and obtains image materials used to fill the to-be-filled segments in the video editing template. The image materials are used to form video segments of the video editing draft, and at least some of the image materials are preset image materials. The preset image materials are used to fill the to-be-filled segments in the video editing template that have not yet been filled by the user. A video editing effect is generated based on the video editing template and the image materials. By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, this embodiment supports the generation of video editing effects based on the image materials filled in each to-be-filled segment of the video editing template when the user has not yet added image materials to at least some of the to-be-filled segments. This can enrich the method of generating video editing effects and reduce the difficulty of generating video editing effects.

[0071] FIG4 is a flow chart of another video editing method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The solution in this embodiment can be combined with one or more optional solutions in the above embodiments. Optionally, after displaying the editing interface, the method further includes: in response to a first trigger operation for the target object identifier, canceling the display of the at least one first-level editing item, and displaying at least one second-level editing item in the second area, wherein the at least one second-level editing item corresponds to the first-level editing item in the selected state.

[0072] Accordingly, as shown in FIG4 , the video editing method provided in this embodiment may include the following steps: S201: obtaining a video editing template and obtaining image materials for filling in segments to be filled in the video editing template, wherein the image materials are used to form video segments in a video editing draft, and at least some of the image materials are preset image materials, which are used to fill in segments to be filled in the video editing template that have not yet been filled by the user. S202: generating a video editing effect based on the video editing template and the image materials. S203: displaying an editing interface and displaying a preview of the video segments in the video editing draft in a first area of ​​the editing interface, wherein the editing interface further includes a second area and / or a third area, wherein the second area displays at least one primary editing item, and the third area displays an object identifier of at least one object to be edited, wherein the at least one object to be edited corresponds to a selected primary editing item in the at least one primary editing item. S204: in response to a first trigger operation on the target object identifier, canceling the display of the at least one primary editing item and displaying at least one secondary editing item in the second area, wherein the at least one secondary editing item corresponds to the selected primary editing item.

[0073] The first trigger operation may be a trigger operation for triggering an object identifier displayed in the third area. For example, when the selected first-level editing item is a first-level video clip editing item, the first trigger operation may be an operation for triggering a video clip identifier of a first video clip in the third area. When the selected first-level editing item is a first-level audio editing item, the first trigger operation may be an operation for triggering an audio identifier of a candidate background audio in the third area. When the selected first-level editing item is a first-level text editing item, the first trigger operation may be an operation for triggering a text identifier of a text in the third area. When the selected first-level editing item is a first-level filter editing item, the first trigger operation may be an operation for triggering a filter identifier of a candidate filter in the third area. When the selected first-level editing item is a first-level sticker editing item, the first trigger operation may be an operation for triggering a sticker identifier of a sticker in the third area.

[0074] The target object identifier can be understood as the object identifier triggered by the first trigger operation. It can be the video clip identifier of a video clip formed by the image material filled in by the user, the audio identifier of a candidate background audio, the text identifier of a text, the filter identifier of a candidate filter, or the sticker identifier of a sticker, etc.

[0075] Specifically, upon receiving a first trigger operation for an object identifier displayed in the third area, the first-level editing item in the second area that is currently selected may be determined, and all first-level editing items displayed in the second area may be canceled. Secondary editing items of the selected first-level editing item may also be displayed in the second area, so that the user can use the second-level editing items to edit the object to be edited corresponding to the target object identifier.

[0076] For example, as shown in FIG5 , when the selected primary edit item is a primary video clip edit item, the video clip identifier of the video clip in the video edit draft can be displayed in the third area. When it is detected that the user triggers the video clip identifier of a video clip displayed in the third area (using the triggering of video clip identifier 2 as an example in FIG5 ), at least one primary edit item displayed in the second area can be switched to a secondary edit item of the primary video clip edit item. In addition, the video clip identifier can be further displayed as selected.

[0077] As shown in Figure 6, when the selected first-level editing item is a first-level audio editing item, the audio identifier of at least one candidate background audio for the user to select can be displayed in the third area. When it is detected that the user triggers the audio identifier of a candidate background audio displayed in the third area (using the triggering audio identifier 1 as an example in Figure 6), the at least one first-level editing item displayed in the second area can be switched to a second-level editing item of the first-level audio editing item. In addition, the audio identifier can be further displayed in a selected state.

[0078] As shown in Figure 7, when the first-level editing item in the selected state is a first-level text editing item, the text identifier of at least one text added in the video editing draft can be displayed in the third area. When it is detected that the user triggers the text identifier of a certain text displayed in the third area (taking the triggering text identifier 2 as an example in Figure 7), the at least one first-level editing item displayed in the second area can be switched to a second-level editing item of the first-level text editing item, and the text identifier can be further displayed as a selected state. In addition, when displaying the text identifier of the text added in the video editing template, a text adding control 70 can be further displayed to facilitate the user to add new text to the video editing template by triggering the text adding control 70.

[0079] As shown in Figure 8 , when the selected primary edit item is a primary filter edit item, the filter identifier of at least one candidate filter available for user selection can be displayed in the third area. When it is detected that the user has triggered the filter identifier of a first candidate filter displayed in the third area (using triggering filter identifier 2 as an example in Figure 8 ), the at least one primary edit item displayed in the second area can be switched to a secondary edit item of the primary filter edit item, and the filter identifier can be further displayed as selected.

[0080] As shown in Figure 9, when the selected first-level editing item is a first-level sticker editing item, the sticker icon of at least one sticker added in the video editing draft can be displayed in the third area. When it is detected that the user triggers the sticker icon of a sticker displayed in the third area (using the triggering sticker icon 3 as an example in Figure 9), the at least one first-level editing item displayed in the second area can be switched to a second-level editing item of the first-level sticker editing item, and the sticker icon can be further displayed as selected.

[0081] In some embodiments, when a trigger operation (e.g., a first trigger operation) is received for a video segment identifier of a video segment formed by a user-filled image material, a second-level editing item of the first-level video segment editing item may be displayed in the second area for the user to edit the video segment. And / or, when a trigger operation is received for a video segment identifier of a video segment formed by a preset image material, a material filling interface may be switched to for the user to fill the image material in the to-be-filled segment corresponding to the preset image material.

[0082] At this point, optionally, in response to a second triggering operation on the video clip identifier of the target video clip, a material filling interface is displayed. The target video clip is a video clip formed by the preset image material, and the material filling interface displays at least one candidate image material. In response to the material filling operation performed within the material filling interface, the preset image material corresponding to the target video clip is replaced with the candidate image material selected by the user.

[0083] Among them, the second trigger operation can be a trigger operation for instructing the display of the material filling interface, which can be a trigger operation for a video clip formed by a preset image material. For example, an operation for triggering the preview screen of a video clip formed by a preset image material displayed in the first area, or an operation for triggering the video clip identifier of a video clip formed by a preset image material displayed in the third area. The target video clip can be a video clip corresponding to the second trigger operation, and the target video clip is a video clip formed by the preset image material. The candidate image material can be an image material that can be selected to be filled in the video editing template. The material filling operation can be an operation for instructing to fill in a candidate image material. The way the user selects the image material is not limited, such as the user can manually select a certain image material, or, through a certain trigger operation, instruct the current application to automatically select the image material based on the preset selection rules.

[0084] For example, when a second trigger operation is received for a video clip formed by a preset image material, the current interface can be switched from the editing interface to the material filling interface, where at least one candidate image material is displayed in the material filling interface. Receiving a second trigger operation for a video clip formed by a preset image material can be detecting a preview of the video clip formed by the preset image material displayed in the first area of ​​the editing interface when the user triggers it, or detecting a video clip identifier of the video clip formed by the preset image material displayed in the third area of ​​the editing interface when the user triggers it. Furthermore, at least one to-be-filled segment in the video editing template can be further displayed, and the to-be-filled segment containing the second image material can be displayed as selected, as shown in FIG10 . Thus, when a user's material filling operation is received, the image material filled in the to-be-filled segment can be replaced with the candidate image material indicated by the material filling operation. For example, when a user triggers a candidate image material in the material filling interface, the image material filled in the to-be-filled segment can be replaced with the candidate image material triggered by the user.

[0085] Optionally, after replacing the preset image material corresponding to the target video clip with the candidate image material selected by the user, the method also includes: updating the target video clip based on the candidate image material selected by the user, and displaying a preview screen of the updated target video clip in the first area of ​​the editing interface.

[0086] In the above embodiment, after replacing the selected candidate image material with the preset image material filled in a certain segment to be filled, the user can also switch to the editing interface by performing a preview operation to view the preview screen of the video segment formed by the selected candidate image material.

[0087] For example, when a user's preview operation is received, such as when it is detected that the user triggers the preview control 100 displayed in the material filling interface (as shown in FIG10 ), the target video segment in the video editing draft can be updated to the video segment formed by the candidate image material selected by the user. The editing interface is displayed, and a preview screen of the updated target video segment is displayed in the first area of ​​the editing interface. For example, the preview screen of the video editing draft can be displayed in the first area with the time node corresponding to the starting point of the updated target video segment in the video editing draft as the starting point. In this way, the user can quickly preview the effect of the candidate image material filled in this time on the video segment.

[0088] In some embodiments, the selected primary edit item is a primary sticker edit item, the at least one secondary edit item includes a sticker replacement control, and the sticker replacement control is used to trigger the display of a sticker panel. The method further includes at least one of the following: in response to a size adjustment operation on the sticker panel, adjusting the display size of the sticker panel, or in response to a cancel display operation on the sticker panel, canceling the display of the sticker panel. The cancel display operation acts on a non-control area outside the sticker panel and / or acts on a save control displayed in the sticker panel.

[0089] The resize operation can be a triggering operation for instructing to adjust the size of the sticker panel. Exemplarily, the resize operation can include a first resize operation for instructing to reduce the size of the sticker panel and / or a second resize operation for instructing to increase the size of the sticker panel. The first resize operation can, for example, be an operation of sliding in a first direction on the top area of ​​the sticker panel, or an operation of adjusting a sticker displayed in the first area of ​​the editing interface. This operation can be performed when the sticker panel is displayed at a larger size (e.g., the first size). The second resize operation can, for example, be an operation of sliding in a second direction on the top area of ​​the sticker panel, and can be performed when the sticker panel is displayed at a smaller size (e.g., the second size). The cancel display operation can be a triggering operation for instructing to cancel the display of the sticker panel, such as an operation of triggering a non-control area outside the sticker panel, or an operation of triggering a save control displayed in the sticker panel. The second size can be smaller than the first size. Optionally, when the sticker panel is displayed at the first size, there is an overlap between the sticker panel and the first area. When the sticker panel is displayed at the second size, there is no overlap between the sticker panel and the first area to avoid obstructing the preview image displayed in the first area. The first direction and the second direction can be opposite directions. For example, the first direction may be downward, and the second direction may be upward. The non-control area may be an area where no control is displayed.

[0090] In the above embodiment, when it is detected that the user triggers the sticker identifier of a sticker displayed in the third area 23, the preview progress of the video editing draft can be adjusted to the preview progress corresponding to the sticker. Thus, a preview screen containing the sticker is displayed in the first area 20 of the editing interface, and a secondary editing item of the primary sticker editing item can be displayed in the second area 22. The secondary editing item may include, for example, a replacement control 90, as shown in Figure 9 (the sticker is not shown in Figure 9). Thus, when it is detected that the user triggers the replacement control 91 displayed in the second area 22, the sticker panel 110 can be displayed. For example, the sticker panel 110 is displayed in the first size or the second size, and the sticker identifier of at least one candidate sticker (i.e., the candidate sticker identifier) ​​is displayed in the sticker panel 110, as shown in Figure 11.

[0091] After the sticker panel is displayed, the user can trigger a sticker identifier of a candidate sticker in the sticker panel to replace the sticker corresponding to the sticker identifier triggered by the user in the third area with the candidate sticker. The user can also adjust the display size of the sticker panel by performing a size adjustment operation.

[0092] For example, as shown in FIG11 , when the sticker panel is displayed at a first size, if a user is detected sliding in a first direction on the top area of ​​the sticker panel, the sticker panel can be reduced from the first size to a second size. Alternatively, when the sticker panel is displayed at a first size, if a user is detected adjusting the size, position, and / or angle of a sticker displayed in the first area, the sticker panel can be reduced from the first size to the second size to facilitate the user's adjustment of the sticker. When the sticker panel is displayed at a second size, if a user is detected sliding in a second direction on the top area of ​​the sticker panel, the sticker panel can be increased from the second size to the first size.

[0093] After displaying the sticker panel 110, the user can also cancel the display of the sticker panel 110 by performing a cancel operation. For example, when it is detected that the user triggers a non-control area outside the sticker panel 110, or when it is detected that the user triggers the save control 111 displayed in the sticker panel 110 (as shown in FIG. 11 ), the sticker panel 110 can be canceled.

[0094] In some embodiments, the selected primary editing item is a primary audio editing item, and the object identifier is an audio identifier of a candidate background audio item. After displaying the editing interface, the method further includes: in response to an audio editing operation performed within the editing interface, displaying the primary audio editing item as selected and displaying the audio identifier of at least one candidate background audio item in the third area. The audio editing operation is performed on the primary audio editing item or within a fourth area of ​​the editing interface, and the fourth area is used to display audio information of the background audio added to the video editing draft.

[0095] The audio editing operation may be a triggering operation for indicating an audio identifier for displaying candidate background audio, such as an operation for triggering a primary audio editing item displayed in the editing interface, or an operation for triggering a fourth area in the editing interface. The fourth area may be an area in the editing interface for displaying audio information of background audio added to a video editing draft.

[0096] Specifically, when a user performs an audio editing operation (e.g., when a user triggers the primary audio editing item 26 (as shown in FIG. 2 ) displayed in the second area 22 of the editing interface, or triggers the fourth area 27 (as shown in FIG. 2 ) of the editing interface), the audio identifier of at least one candidate background audio can be displayed in the third area 23 of the editing interface, as shown in FIG. 6 . This facilitates the user to adjust the audio added to the video editing template.

[0097] The video editing method provided in this embodiment switches the primary editing item displayed in the editing interface to the secondary editing item of the user-triggered primary editing item when the user triggers a specific editing item. This method enriches the display of secondary editing items, avoids obstruction of other pages displayed in the editing interface, and provides convenience for users to edit video drafts.
