Abstract: Provided in the present disclosure are a video generation method and apparatus, and a device and a storage medium. The method includes: firstly, when an application request for a target effect object has been received, acquiring location information of the current user; then, on the basis of the location information of the current user, determining a target place of interest (POI) corresponding to the current user; acquiring an effect resource of the target POI, and on the basis of the location information of the current user and location information of the target POI, determining a direction relationship between the current user and the target POI; on the basis of the direction relationship, displaying, on a photographic page, a photographic effect corresponding to the effect resource; and then on the basis of the photographic effect corresponding to the effect resource, generating a result video corresponding to the target effect object.

Abstract: Described are examples for providing augmented reality (AR) effects for a video sharing platform including activating, by a client of a video sharing platform, an AR effect for recording video for storing on the video sharing platform, and storing, by the client and on the video sharing platform, a user-specific context associated with the AR effect in an inventory that persists after the AR effect is deactivated, wherein the user-specific context includes an identifier of a user account associated with the user-specific context.

Abstract: The embodiment of the disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus of effect editing, a device and a computer-readable storage medium. The method provided by the disclosure includes: presenting a texture generation component based on a received texture creation request; obtaining at least one generation parameter via the texture generation component, the at least one generation parameter including prompt information; creating a texture material based on the at least one generation parameter; and generating a target effect based on the texture material. In this way, the embodiments of the disclosure may add the texture material related to the generated content in the effect creation process, thereby improving the efficiency of the effect editing.

Abstract: Provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure are a method and apparatus for processing an effect image, and an electronic device and a storage medium. The method comprises: obtaining an image to be processed; determining a brush model to be rendered that corresponds to the image to be processed; and rendering, according to a drawing parameter, a line to be rendered in the brush model to be rendered, and obtaining the effect image corresponding to the image to be processed.

Abstract: Provided in the present disclosure are a video generation method, apparatus and device, and a storage medium. The method includes: when a trigger operation for a preset effect entry has been received, displaying, on a photographic page, a preset effect resource for a target POI which corresponds to a first user, wherein the preset effect resource comprises at least one first virtual object, and each first virtual object is displayed on the photographic page in a manner of moving towards the target POI; generating a second virtual object on the basis of a virtual object generation control on the photographic page; when a trigger operation for the second virtual object has been received, displaying the second virtual object on the photographic page in a manner of moving towards the target POI; and then generating a resulting video on the basis of the photographic page.

Abstract: Provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure are a method and apparatus for processing an effect video and an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: obtaining current position information of a target touch point in response to an effect triggering operation; determining, according to the current position information and a drawing parameter, a two-dimensional trajectory effect consistent with a motion trajectory of the target touch point; and displaying, in response to detecting that a three-dimensional display condition is satisfied, a three-dimensional trajectory effect that corresponds to the two-dimensional trajectory effect from a plurality of angles, and stopping displaying the three-dimensional trajectory effect upon the detection of an instruction to stop playing the effect video being satisfied.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for synchronizing multiple instances of projects. At least one Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection may be established between a server computing device and at least one client computing device. At least one dual instance command may be created. The at least one dual instance command comprises data associated with a project and information indicating how to interpret the data. A plurality of instances of the project may be synchronized between the server computing device and the at least one client computing device by transmitting the at least one dual instance command between the server computing device and the at least one client computing device via the at least one TCP connection.

Abstract: Systems and methods for social networking using augmented reality are disclosed. A network may receive, from a plurality of client devices, a request to connect to a server. The server may be associated with an object, such as a landmark or a product. The server may serialize an AR world including the object and content associated with the object and send, to the plurality of client devices, data indicative of the AR world. The server via network may receive, from a first client device among the plurality of client devices, an indication of user input associated with the AR world. The indication of user input may comprise text data, digital image data, or user feedback. The indication of user input may be broadcast to the plurality of client devices.
