Video Draft Compatibility via Unsupported Edit Compositing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video editing tools are limited by poor compatibility across different client types, preventing clients with lower editing capabilities from opening or editing video drafts created by other clients.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that analyze the editing capabilities of a first video draft, composite unsupported editing operations into a second video clip, and replace unsupported editing capabilities in the first video draft to create a second video draft compatible with clients with lower capabilities, allowing them to edit the video.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video editing tools support multiple client types with different editing capabilities, then compatibility is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments editing capabilities into discrete, identifiable units that can be individually assessed and handled. Each editing operation is treated as a separate capability element, allowing the system to analyze and process compatibility requirements in manageable segments rather than as a monolithic system
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that analyzes editing capability information and performs automatic adjustments. This intermediary component translates between different client capability levels, mediating the interaction between high-capability and low-capability clients without requiring complex direct integration between all client types
2Manufacturing precision
If video drafts contain advanced editing operations, then editing quality is improved, but compatibility with low-capability clients deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary analysis of editing capability information before the video draft is opened by a client. The system proactively identifies advanced editing operations and prepares compatibility adjustments in advance, converting unsupported operations into formats that low-capability clients can handle before they attempt to open the draft
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically changes the parameters of editing operations based on the target client's capabilities. When a video draft is being prepared for or opened by a low-capability client, the system automatically adjusts editing operation parameters to match the client's supported capability level, preserving compatibility while maintaining acceptable editing quality

AI summary
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and device for video editing. The method includes: obtaining a first video draft generated by a first client, which includes first editing capability information supported by a first client but not supported by a second client; performing an editing operation on a first video clip based on the first editing capability information to obtain the second video clip, whereby the first video clip and the first editing capability information overlap on the video editing time line; replacing, in the first video draft, the first video clip with the second video clip, and deleting the first editing capability information to obtain the second video draft; and providing the second video draft to the second client.
