  • Patent number: 11800043
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a video processing method and apparatus, a computer-readable medium and an electronic device. The method is applied to a first terminal, including: identifying a target object in a current video frame; receiving a special effect setting instruction input by a user; determining a plurality of special effects to be superposed according to the special effect setting instruction; and superposing the plurality of special effects to be superposed with the target object to acquire a processed video frame. In this way, synchronous superposition of a plurality of special effects can be implemented by one video processing process based on the current video frame, so that the plurality of special effects can take effect at the same time, thereby improving processing efficiency of special effects. In addition, an unnecessary intermediate video rendering process is also omitted, which is beneficial to improve terminal performance and user experience.

  • Patent number: 11776579
    Abstract: Video and corresponding metadata is accessed. Events of interest within the video are identified based on the corresponding metadata, and best scenes are identified based on the identified events of interest. A video summary can be generated including one or more of the identified best scenes. The video summary can be generated using a video summary template with slots corresponding to video clips selected from among sets of candidate video clips. Best scenes can also be identified by receiving an indication of an event of interest within video from a user during the capture of the video. Metadata patterns representing activities identified within video clips can be identified within other videos, which can subsequently be associated with the identified activities.

  • Patent number: 11763851
    Abstract: Techniques are described for pre-exporting chunks of video content during video editing of a video editing project. For example, the chunks of the video editing project can be monitored for changes. When a change is detected to a chunk, the chunk can be pre-exported as an independent chunk that is combinable with other pre-exported chunks and without encoding or re-encoding the pre-exported chunks. In addition, the monitoring and pre-exporting can be performed while the video editing project is editable by a user of the video editing project. When the video editing project is ready to be finalized, the pre-exported chunks can be combined to generate, at least in part, a media file. The generated media file can then be output.
