Abstract: A mobile device enables a user to edit a video containing a human figure, such that an original human pose is modified into a target human pose in the video. In response to a user command, the mobile device first identifies key points of the human figure from a frame of the video. The user command indicates a target position of a given key point of the key points. The mobile device generates a target frame including the target human pose, with the given key point of the target human pose at the target position. An edited frame sequence is generated on the display including the target frame. The edited frame sequence shows the movement of the human pose transitioning into the target human pose.
