[0033] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only, and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0034] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example process

[0036] FIG. 2 illustrates a flowchart of an example process 200 for media editing, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 200 can be implemented at the electronic device 110. The process 200 is described below with reference to FIG. 1.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 2, at block 210, the electronic device 110 presents a media editing interface of a first media editing result, the first media editing result being generated by applying a first editing template to a set of media assets.

[0038] The process 200 is described below with reference to FIGS. 3A-3C. FIGS. 3A-3C illustrate example interfaces 300A-300C, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The interfaces 300A-300C can be presented by the electronic device 110.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3A, the electronic device 110 can display a media editing interface 300A, and can display a first media editing result 305 in the media editing interface 300A. The first media editing result 305 may, for example, include a video draft or video content.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first media editing result 305 may, for example, be generated by applying a first editing template to a set of media assets specified by a user. Such a set of media assets may, for example, include media assets imported by the user. Accordingly, the first editing template may, for example, include a template selected by the user, or may, for example, be a template determined based on a set of editing templates.

[0041] At block 220, in response to receiving the preset operation, the electronic device 110 presents a template switching interface, the template switching interface presenting a plurality of candidate editing templates, the plurality of candidate editing templates including a candidate editing template determined based on the set of media assets and a candidate editing template determined based on the first editing template.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 3A, the electronic device 110 may, for example, receive a selection of the bottom “Templates” tab, and may, for example, present a template switching interface 300B as shown in FIG. 3B. As shown in FIG. 3B, the electronic device 110 may, for example, display a plurality of candidate editing templates 315, e.g., candidate editing template 315-1, candidate editing template 315-2, and candidate editing template 315-3 (individually or collectively referred to as candidate editing templates 315), in the media switching interface 300B. The specific determination process of the plurality of candidate editing templates 315 is described in detail below with reference to FIG. 4.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 3B, the electronic device 110 may, for example, also display a first editing template 310 corresponding to the first media editing result 305 at a preset position of the interface 300B. In some embodiments, the first editing template 310 can be fixedly displayed at the position.

[0044] For example, the electronic device 110 can adjust the display position of the plurality of candidate editing templates 315, e.g., move left or move right, based on the user’s swipe operation on the plurality of candidate editing templates 315. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can keep displaying the first editing template 310 at the preset position during the movement of the plurality of candidate editing templates 315.

[0045] At block 230, in response to the selection of the second editing template from the plurality of candidate editing templates, the electronic device 110 applies the second editing template to the set of media assets.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 3C, the electronic device 110 can receive the selection of the candidate editing template 315-1 (also referred to as the second editing template 315-1), and can apply the second editing template 315-1 to the set of media assets corresponding to the media editing interface 300A.

[0047] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can further receive the selection of the determination button 320 to update the media editing interface 300A. Further, the electronic device 110 can present a second media editing result in the media editing interface 300A, where the second media editing result is generated by applying the second editing template 315-1 to the set of media assets.

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can further display the media preview content 325 in the interface 300C, where the media preview content is generated by applying the second editing template 315-1 to the set of media assets.

[0049] As an example, the media preview content 325 can include video content generated by applying the video template to the set of media assets. Additionally, the electronic device 110 can further receive the tap operation on the second editing template 315-1 to play the video content or pause the playing of the video content in the interface 300C.

[0050] Based on the above interaction process, embodiments of the present disclosure can support the user to quickly switch to other templates that match the current editing scenario, thereby improving the efficiency of media editing.

[0051] The determination process of the plurality of candidate editing templates 315 will be further described below with reference to FIG. 4. In some embodiments, the plurality of candidate editing templates 315 can be determined by the server 130 or other electronic devices. For the convenience of description, the process shown in FIG. 4 will be described below with the server 130 as an example.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 4, the server 130 can perform multiple recall processes, e.g., a first recall process 405, a second recall process 410, a third recall process 415, and a fourth recall process 420.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first recall process 405 and the second recall process 410 can include a material-based recall. Specifically, the server 130 can determine the first set of editing templates from the template set based on a set of materials.

[0054] Specifically, in the first recall process 405, the server 130 may, for example, recall one or more editing templates that match based on the label information of the set of materials. In the second recall process 410, the server 130 may, for example, recall one or more editing templates that are similar to the feature representation of the set of materials based on the feature representation of the set of materials. The label information and the feature representation of the materials can be collectively referred to as the material description information of the materials.

[0055] In some embodiments, the third recall process 415 can include determining a second set of editing templates from the template set based on the current applied first editing template 310. For example, the server 130 can determine the second set of editing templates from the template set based on the template description information of the first editing template 310.

[0056] In some embodiments, the template description information includes at least one of the following: export information (e.g., the number of exports) of the first editing template 310, screen information (e.g., screen elements in the template) of the first editing template 310, user information (e.g., other templates exported by the user who exported the first editing template) associated with the first editing template 310. In this way, through the third recall process 415, the server 130 can recall one or more other editing templates that are similar to the first editing template 310.

[0057] In some embodiments, the fourth recall process 420 can recall one or more editing templates based on the user's operations in the media editing interface.

[0058] Further, the server 130 can also determine the plurality of candidate editing templates 315 based on the recalled templates (including the first set of editing templates and the second set of editing templates).

[0059] In some embodiments, the server 130 can also perform a template filtering process 425 to filter out templates whose usage constraints do not match the set of materials from the recalled plurality of editing templates to determine a third set of editing templates.

[0060] In some embodiments, such usage constraints can indicate a number constraint and / or a duration constraint of the required materials of the template. For example, the number of required materials of some templates can be greater than the current number of materials; or, the time length of the material filling position of some templates can be greater than the maximum time length of the current materials. In this case, such templates will not be applied to the current materials, and thus, can be filtered out after recall accordingly.

[0061] Further, the server 130 can also perform a template coarse ranking process 430. In the template coarse ranking process 430, the server 130 can rank the third set of editing templates based on evaluation information of the third set of editing templates to determine a fourth set of editing templates. Such evaluation information can include, for example, scores of each template in the third set of editing templates. In some embodiments, to improve the proportion of candidate editing templates that match the materials and candidate editing templates that are similar to the current template, the server 130 can also increase the evaluation information of the templates recalled by the first, second, and third recall processes 405, 410, and 415.

[0062] Further, the server 130 can determine a plurality of candidate editing templates based on the fourth set of editing templates. Specifically, the server 130 can further adjust the priority of at least one editing template in the fourth set of editing templates, for example, in a template fine ranking process 435, to determine the plurality of candidate editing templates 315.

[0063] In some embodiments, the server 130 can increase the priority of templates that have the same template feature as the first editing template. Such template features can be determined based on, for example, scene tags of the templates. For example, such scene tags can describe the usage scenarios of the templates.

[0064] For example, such template features can indicate the theme scenarios of the templates, such as holiday templates. As another example, such template features can indicate the character scenarios of the templates, such as boy templates. As yet another example, such template features can indicate the time scenarios of the templates, such as winter templates.

[0065] In some embodiments, the server 130 can increase the priority of templates that match the frame information and / or the cumulative duration information of the set of materials. For example, when the frame ratio of the set of materials is 4:3, the server 130 can increase the priority of templates that also have a frame ratio of 4:3, thereby increasing the matching degree of the recommended templates. As another example, the server 130 can also increase the priority of templates that match the cumulative duration of the materials to reduce the materials segments that need to be discarded when filling the templates.

[0066] Based on the template recall process described above, embodiments of the present disclosure are able to determine candidate editing templates that are more matched to the current scenario. This may, for example, enable the recommended candidate editing templates 315 to include both templates determined based on the material and templates determined based on the first editing template 310.

[0067] Based on the above process, embodiments of the present disclosure are able to provide candidate editing templates that are more matched to the current editing scenario for use by the user.
