Video Editing Template Replacement for User-Specific Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video generation methods are highly complicated due to the need for manual re-editing when multimedia resources or user information changes, leading to inefficiencies in generating videos tailored for different users.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that automatically replace multimedia resource paths and text fields in a video editing draft based on user identifiers, using a first and second file to generate a video associated with the target user, reducing the need for manual re-editing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual editing is used to generate videos for different users, then video customization can be achieved, but the process becomes highly complicated and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video editing draft into distinct components: a template portion (first video editing draft) and a user-specific portion (second video editing draft). This segmentation allows the system to automatically replace only the necessary user-specific elements while maintaining the overall video structure, thereby achieving customization without requiring complete manual re-editing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating a second video editing draft that copies the structure and content of the first video editing draft, then selectively replaces user-specific elements (multimedia resource paths and text fields) with user-specific values. This copying approach preserves the validated template structure while adapting it to individual users, reducing the complexity of creating customized videos from scratch.
2Manufacturing precision
If manual re-editing is performed when multimedia resources or user information changes, then video accuracy can be maintained, but efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-validating the first video editing draft against a set of rules before generation. This preliminary validation ensures the template is correct and complete, so that when automated replacement occurs for different users, the accuracy is maintained without requiring manual review and re-editing, thereby improving efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the first video editing draft is validated against predefined rules, and the replacement process automatically adjusts the second video editing draft based on user-specific information. This feedback loop ensures accuracy is maintained while the automated process eliminates time-consuming manual re-editing.
3Productivity
If a template video is used for multiple users, then generation efficiency is improved, but user-specific customization is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by maintaining a consistent template structure for all users while allowing specific local elements (multimedia resource paths and text fields) to be customized for each user. The first video editing draft serves as a universal template, but the second video editing draft introduces user-specific localizations only where needed, achieving both efficiency and customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The first video editing draft serves as a universal template that can be used for multiple users. The system maintains this universal template and creates a second video editing draft that adapts it to specific users by replacing placeholder elements with user-specific content. This universality allows efficient generation for multiple users while still providing necessary customization.
4Productivity
If automated replacement is used to generate user-specific videos, then efficiency is improved, but the complexity of managing different files increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the nested doll principle by embedding the second video editing draft (user-specific) within the structure of the first video editing draft (template). The replacement process nests user-specific elements into the template structure, creating a hierarchical organization where the template contains placeholders that are filled by user-specific content, thereby managing complexity through structured organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary process where the system automatically determines which elements in the first video editing draft need to be replaced based on user information. This intermediary automated replacement process manages the complexity of file management by using rules and metadata to identify and substitute elements, eliminating the need for manual file management complexity.

AI summary
A video generation method comprises: obtaining a first video editing draft and an identifier of a target user, wherein the first video editing draft includes path information of a first multimedia resource and a first text field for video editing; determining, according to the first video editing draft and the identifier of the target user, a first file including path information of a second multimedia resource associated with the target user and a second file including a second text field associated with the target user; replacing, according to the first file, the path information of the first multimedia resource with the path information of the second multimedia resource, and replacing, according to the second file, the first text field with the second text field, so as to obtain a second video editing draft; and generating, according to the second video editing draft, a video associated with the target user.
