Solution Overview

Problem

The process of selecting a desired video template from a large number of options is time-consuming, affecting video synthesis efficiency and user experience due to the need for individual previewing and remembering visual differences between templates.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for video preview that generates and displays a target interface with a template display region and a preview region, allowing simultaneous presentation of multiple preview videos for comparison, including features like loading animations, synchronized playback, and adjustable display positions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a user manually previews each video template individually to compare visual differences, then the user can make an informed selection, but the time required for template selection increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemplate comparison accuracyVSAvoidtemplate selection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple individual template previews into a single unified interface that displays multiple templates simultaneously. The preview interface combines several template preview windows, allowing users to compare multiple templates in one view rather than switching between them sequentially, thus reducing selection time while maintaining comparison accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from sequential one-dimensional template preview (one template at a time) to parallel multi-dimensional preview (multiple templates simultaneously). By arranging multiple template previews in a grid or list layout within the same interface, users can visually compare templates across different dimensions at once, eliminating the need to remember visual differences from previous templates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides a large number of video templates for user choice, then the versatility and quality of video editing options improve, but the complexity of the selection interface increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetemplate varietyVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the large set of video templates into multiple categories or groups (e.g., different styles, themes, or types). The interface divides templates into organized sections, allowing users to navigate through categorized templates rather than facing an overwhelming unstructured list, thus reducing perceived complexity while maintaining variety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a dynamic interface that allows users to adjust the number of templates displayed, filter templates by category, or switch between different preview modes. The interface can dynamically load and unload templates based on user interaction, providing flexibility in how templates are presented without requiring all templates to be visible simultaneously, thereby reducing interface complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The disclosure relates to a method, an apparatus, a readable medium and an electronic device for video preview. The method for video preview includes: in response to receiving a video editing instruction for a video to be edited, generating and displaying a first target interface, the first target interface including a template display region and a preview region, the template display region including control buttons of a plurality of video templates, and the preview region including a first preview video corresponding to a first target video template in the plurality of video templates; in response to obtaining triggering by a user for a control button of the control buttons corresponding to a second target video template in the plurality of video templates, generating a second preview video corresponding to the second target video template; and presenting the first preview video and the second preview video in the preview region.
