Video Editing Time Axis Overlay on Progress Bar
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Intelligent mobile terminals face challenges in editing multiple videos due to limited display space, leading to low accuracy and increased misoperation, as existing methods require managing multiple time tracks within a small display region, making it difficult to control and adjust video positions effectively.
Innovation Solution
The method involves overlaying a time axis representing the duration of a template video onto a progress bar of an editing video, allowing users to visually determine and adjust the position of the template video by interacting with the time axis on the progress bar, thereby simplifying the editing interface and providing more space for editing operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple time tracks are used to edit multiple videos, then the ability to edit multiple videos is improved, but the display space is insufficient and control accuracy decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple time tracks into a single unified time track, allowing multiple videos to be edited on the same track rather than requiring separate tracks for each video. This consolidation maintains the ability to edit multiple videos while improving display space utilization and control accuracy on mobile devices with limited screen real estate.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple time tracks are used to edit multiple videos, then the ability to edit multiple videos is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent simplifies the interface by combining multiple time tracks into one, reducing the visual complexity and number of elements the user must manage. This single time track approach maintains multi-video editing capability while presenting a less complex, more manageable interface suitable for mobile devices.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple time tracks are used to edit multiple videos, then the ability to edit multiple videos is improved, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple time tracks into a single time track, allowing users to edit multiple videos on one track. This approach maintains the versatility of editing multiple videos while significantly improving ease of operation by reducing the complexity of managing multiple separate tracks and making video position control more intuitive and accessible on mobile devices.
