Video-Guided Multimedia Clipping With Reusable Editing Drafts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Most users lack the skills to edit multimedia resources effectively, necessitating a lower threshold for editing to enhance user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a first video bound with an initial editing draft to guide users through multimedia editing, accompanied by a multimedia-resource-editing operation page based on a target editing draft, and optionally a second video in a floating window for further guidance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual clipping methods are used, then users can select and download specific video segments, but the process is complex and time-consuming requiring multiple operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates multiple clipping versions (different durations and starting points) from the original video before user interaction. When a user selects a video, these pre-clipped versions are immediately available for download without requiring real-time processing, thus eliminating the time-consuming manual clipping process while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and stores multiple copies of the video content in different clipped formats (e.g., 15s, 30s, 60s segments) in advance. Instead of generating clips on-demand during user interaction, the system serves these pre-generated copies, dramatically reducing the time required to deliver clipped content while keeping the user interface simple.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple clipping versions are generated and stored, then user selection flexibility is improved, but server storage burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of storing complete multiple versions of entire videos, the system segments videos into smaller atomic units (e.g., 1-second segments or key frame intervals). Multiple clipping versions are constructed by combining these small segments on-demand or pre-assembling only the most commonly requested combinations, reducing overall storage requirements while maintaining version flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a nested structure where video content is organized in hierarchical levels: raw video files contain segmented clips, which contain key frames or metadata. This nested organization allows the system to store comprehensive clipping information in a compact manner, where smaller units are embedded within larger structures, reducing redundant storage while enabling flexible version selection.
3Speed
If video clips are processed and delivered quickly, then user experience is improved, but processing resources are heavily consumed during peak usage
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs video clipping, encoding, and formatting operations in advance during low-traffic periods, storing the processed results for immediate delivery. During peak usage, the system simply serves these pre-processed clips without requiring heavy processing resources, thus maintaining high delivery speed while avoiding resource consumption spikes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements periodic batch processing of video content, where clips are pre-generated in scheduled intervals rather than processed individually on-demand. This periodic action smooths out resource consumption by concentrating processing during off-peak periods, while ensuring clips are ready for rapid delivery during high-traffic periods.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a multimedia resource clipping method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The method comprises: first, playing a first video which is bound to an initial clipping draft, wherein the first video is used for displaying a production process of the initial clipping draft, and the initial clipping draft is used for indicating initial clipping operations for native multimedia material; and then, in response to a clipping trigger operation for the first video, displaying a multimedia resource clipping operation page according to a target clipping draft, wherein the target clipping draft is obtained on the basis of the initial clipping draft, the target clipping draft is used for indicating a target clipping operation for target material, the target material corresponds to all or some of the native multimedia material, and the target clipping operation comprises all or some of the initial clipping operations. By means of the present disclosure, the clipping of multimedia resources is implemented on the basis of an initial clipping draft which is bound to a first video, such that a clipping threshold of the multimedia resources is reduced, and the experience of a user participating in multimedia resource clipping is finally improved.
