Video Processing With Stepwise Editing Prompts for User Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video editing applications using the 'Try this template' feature lack user participation and flexibility, as they automatically apply editing operations from a template without allowing users to understand or adjust the specific editing sequence.
Innovation Solution
A video processing method that obtains a reference editing operation sequence from a user, providing step-by-step operation prompts on an editing interface to guide the user in performing the editing operations on a target video, allowing for undo and end operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the system automatically applies all editing operations from a template without user intervention, then the editing process is fast and simple, but the user cannot understand or adjust the specific editing sequence
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the template editing operations into individual steps and presents them sequentially to the user. Instead of applying all operations at once, the system divides the editing process into discrete, manageable units that can be reviewed and controlled step-by-step, allowing users to understand each operation while maintaining efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary analysis of the template video to extract and organize the editing operation sequence before presenting it to the user. This preliminary processing prepares the editing steps in advance, so when the user reviews the operations, they are already structured and ready for efficient application, reducing the time needed for user review.
2Loss of information
If the system provides step-by-step operation prompts for each editing operation, then the user can understand and adjust the editing sequence, but the editing process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms that provide the user with information about the current editing step, its parameters, and its effect on the video. This feedback allows users to make informed decisions about whether to apply, modify, or skip operations without requiring extensive analysis of each step, thus reducing the time burden while maintaining user control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the editing process dynamic by allowing users to adjust the level of detail in operation prompts based on their needs. Users can choose to review detailed step-by-step instructions or switch to a more condensed view, enabling flexible time investment while maintaining understanding of the editing sequence.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system allows users to selectively apply only specific editing operations from a template, then the user has flexibility and control, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing users to make selective decisions about individual editing operations while maintaining the overall template structure. Each editing operation can be independently enabled or disabled, modified, or adjusted without affecting the entire editing pipeline, providing fine-grained control without requiring complete system redesign.
4Ease of operation
If the system presents all editing operations at once, then the interface is simple, but the user cannot easily identify which operation to perform next
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the presentation of editing operations to show them sequentially rather than all at once. The interface displays one operation at a time or in small batches, with clear indicators of the current step and its position in the overall sequence. This segmentation maintains interface simplicity while dramatically improving operation sequence clarity.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a video processing method and apparatus, a device, and a medium. The method includes: obtaining a reference editing operation sequence specified by a user, where the reference editing operation sequence includes at least one reference editing operation arranged in a sequential order of operations; and providing operation prompts according to the sequential order of the reference editing operations, to direct the user to perform the reference editing operations on a target video step by step, where each reference editing operation in the reference editing operation sequence has a corresponding operation prompt.
