Dynamic Split-Frame Video Preview System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in visualizing and appreciating the impact of video editing effects due to the need to continually scan before and after videos, which can be time-consuming and challenging, especially on portable devices with limited screen space.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic split-frame preview system that generates a composite video by displaying one frame with the original video and another frame with the edited video, allowing users to easily compare changes through a split-screen interface, with adjustable mask settings for optimal viewing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If before and after videos are displayed simultaneously, then users can compare editing effects, but users must continually scan both videos which is time-consuming and challenging
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple regions, with each region showing a different video frame (before and after editing). This spatial segmentation allows users to view both versions simultaneously in distinct areas without needing to scan back and forth, thereby improving visualization precision while reducing comparison time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from temporal comparison (sequential viewing) to spatial comparison (simultaneous display). By arranging before and after frames in different spatial regions of the screen, users can compare editing effects across dimensions rather than through time-consuming sequential scanning.
2Manufacturing precision
If video editing effects are applied to enhance quality, then production value improves, but the process becomes difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates and displays multiple frames with different editing effects applied, allowing users to preview and select effects without manual intervention. This self-service approach simplifies the editing process while maintaining high video quality, as the system handles the complex task of effect application and comparison display.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating edited video frames with various effects before the user makes final selections. This allows users to evaluate multiple editing options in advance, making the actual editing process faster and easier while ensuring high production value.
3Adaptability or versatility
If special software is used for video editing, then editing capabilities improve, but device requirements and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal video editing system that can apply multiple different editing effects through a single integrated platform. This multi-functional approach provides diverse editing capabilities without requiring separate specialized software, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges frame generation, effect application, and preview display functions into a single integrated workflow. By combining these previously separate processes into one unified system, the patent reduces overall complexity while preserving comprehensive editing capabilities.

AI summary
This disclosure relates to dynamic split-frame preview of video editing effects. An editing component determines a set of editing effects for the video, generates a copy of the video, applies the set of editing effects to the copy, and provides the video and the copy to a rendering component. The rendering component generates a mask based on a set of mask criteria, renders a split-frame composite video using the video and the edited video based at least in part on the mask, and provides playback of the split-frame composite video. The split-frame composite video provides a dynamic split-frame preview of video editing effects, wherein one frame includes the video, and another frame includes the edited copy of the video.
