Video Draft Comment Segmentation for Selective Editing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video editing methods cannot selectively combine individual comments from multiple users, limiting their suitability for creative processes that require combining diverse comments, and lack flexibility in accessing and managing different versions of video drafts.
Innovation Solution
A method where individual comments are stored in a database, allowing for selective combination and editing of comments to create a final commentary for a video draft, with features like text, speech, images, or video annotations, and flexible access to different versions and phases of video drafts, enabling transparent and traceable editing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If comment layers are created as unified units for video archiving, then the archiving function is achieved, but individual comments cannot be selected or combined for creative editing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the unified comment layer into individual comment elements that can be independently stored, accessed, and manipulated in the database. Each comment becomes a discrete unit that can be selectively combined, enabling both reliable archiving of complete comment layers and flexible creative editing by selecting only specific comments as needed.
2Ease of manufacture
If all comments are stored together in a comment layer, then archiving is simplified, but selective access and combination of individual comments becomes impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a new dimensional organization by storing comments in a database structure with multiple access dimensions: comments can be retrieved as complete layers for archiving purposes, or individually selected based on various criteria (author, timestamp, content tags, etc.). This multi-dimensional storage approach resolves the contradiction between simplified archiving and selective access.
3Device complexity
If video drafts are edited without version control, then the editing process is simpler, but transparency and traceability of editing steps are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements version control by pre-establishing a database structure that automatically records each editing action, timestamp, and user identity. This preliminary organizational framework ensures that all editing steps are captured and traceable from the beginning, without adding significant complexity to the actual editing workflow.

AI summary
The method involves electronically producing video outline i.e. colored video outline. A project is produced in databases. The video outline is associated to the project. Electronic commentaries are added as text, speech, image, video or movable/static indications in individual image or image sequences to the video outline for processing the video outline. The commentaries and different versions of the video outline are stored in the databases. Each version is separately commented. The video outline with the commenting is completed for the video.
