The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and device for configuring a video special effect, and a storage medium, and relates to the technical field of special effect processing. The method includes: adding a first association node to a first special effect event combination in response to a first setting operation of a user; adding a second association node corresponding to the first association node to a second special effect event combination in response to a second setting operation of the user; and generating a configuration file of the video special effect according to the first special effect event combination and the second special effect event combination. The configuration file is configured to indicate that the video special effect is presented in a target video.

Methods, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for composing a video in accordance with a user goal and an audience preference are described. For example, a processing system having at least one processor may obtain a plurality of video clips of a user, determine at least one goal of the user for a production of a video from the plurality of video clips, determine at least one audience preference of an audience, and compose the video comprising at least one video clip of the plurality of video clips of the user in accordance with the at least one goal of the user and the at least one audience preference. The processing system may then upload the video to a network-based publishing platform.

Systems, devices, and methods are described herein for distributing syndicated content or content with one or more distribution restrictions. In one aspect, a method may include assigning a unique ID to a plurality of content items, where the unique ID of at least one of the content items is associated with one or more property distribution restrictions. The method may further include streaming in a video stream the content items to at least two properties and monitoring the unique IDs of the plurality of content items streamed in the video stream to detect least one content item associated with the one or more property distribution restrictions. The distribution of the least one content item associated with the one or more property distribution restrictions may be blocked from the one or more properties concurrently with streaming the video stream, based on the one or more property distribution restrictions.

Real-time video manipulation techniques include performing shader-based graphical operations on user interface elements based on the state of an interactive video and the properties associated with the user interface elements at the state. The user interface elements are rendered into frames of the interactive video, and transparent interactive elements are layered over the user interface elements. In another technique, video frames in an interactive video include viewable and non-viewable regions. While the video is playing, the viewable regions are modified based on information in the non-viewable regions, thereby generating modified versions of the video frames.

Technologies for implementing embedding interactive content into a shareable online video. The technologies include an authoring tool including a graphical user interface (GUI). The tool can be used to input an edit decision list (EDL) file and a video file that has a video. The GUI can provide a view of specific scenes of the video according to the EDL file and the video file. The GUI can also provide interactive features. Through the GUI and/or the tool, a selection of a scene of the specific scenes can be inputted as well as a selection of an interactive feature from the interactive features can be inputted. Then, the tool can embed the selected interactive feature into the selected scene at a selected specific spatial location in the selected scene. The tool can also output the video file with the embedded interactive feature.

The present invention relates to the technical field of televisions, and provides a method for processing a television screenshot, a smart television, and a storage medium. To meet the demands of a more intuitive user interface and a seamless user interaction function, multiple sets of optional bars are displayed while displaying current playback content on a display screen in response to an input screenshot operation instruction, wherein optional bars are respectively used for displaying a picture thumbnail of a screenshot, recognizing content-related recommended content on the basis of an image of the screenshot, and/or responding to a user control instruction input interface for an operation associated with the screenshot.

Embodiments of the present technology may include systems and processes associated with automatically generating supercuts associated with programming content. The present technology may include receiving, at the computing device, a set of related programming content, wherein the set of related programming content includes video clips; receiving an input from a user including a command to generate a supercut and a keyword associated with the supercut; searching the set of related programming content for portions of the video clips associated with the keyword; identifying a first event within a first video clip associated with the keyword and a second event within a second video clip associated with the keyword; determining a type of event associated with each of the first and second events and link the types of events with their respective events; determining a pre-event time period and a post-event time period for each of the first and second events based on the types of events; and generating and displaying a supercut using the first event, the second event, the pre-event time periods, and the post-event time periods. The above steps may be implemented as a computer-implemented method, computer program product, or device such as a television receiver, or in other types of embodiments.

The disclosure is directed to systems and methods for local rendering of 3D models which are then accessed by remote computers. The advantage of the system is that extensive hardware needed for rendering complex 3D models is centralized and can be accessed by smaller remote computers without and special hardware or software installation. The system also provides enhanced security as model data can be restricted to a limited number of servers instead of stored on individual computers.

A video generating method, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable medium are provided. The method includes: acquiring a first video set and an audio material; determining a first music point of the audio material according to an amount of the video materials in the first video set; generating, according to a sorting order of the video materials in the first video set, one video clip for each first music clip in the audio material by respectively using one video material, so as to obtain a first video sequence; adjusting, in response to detecting an editing operation on the video clip in the first video sequence, the video clip in the first video sequence, so as to obtain a second video sequence; and splicing together video clips in the second video sequence, and adding the audio material as a video audio track to obtain a composite video.
