Abstract

A video shooting method includes: enabling a camera function; determining a first video recording template in response to a first operation of a user, where the first video recording template includes a first example sample, a second example sample, and preset audio; maintaining a position of an electronic device and starting video recording in response to a second operation of the user; and automatically generating a synthetic video, where the synthetic video includes a first video clip, a second video clip, and the preset audio, the first video clip is a video clip generated in the first camera movement mode, and the second video clip is a video clip generated in the second camera movement mode. In this manner, a plurality of video clips obtained in various camera movement modes may be synthesized into a video configured with audio.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store instructions wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions cause the electronic device to:
enable a camera function;
obtain, for the camera function, a first operation of a user;
determine, in response to the first operation, a first video recording template comprising a first example sample corresponding to a first camera movement mode, a second example sample corresponding to a second camera movement mode, and a preset audio, wherein the first camera movement mode is different from the second camera movement mode;
display a video recording interface comprising a first camera movement mode identifier identifying the first camera movement mode and a second camera movement mode identifier identifying the second camera movement mode;
obtain a second operation of the user;
start a video recording in response to the second operation;
generate, during the video recording and while maintaining a first position of the electronic device, a first video clip in the first camera movement mode, wherein the first video clip has a moving effect corresponding to the first camera movement mode;
generate, during the video recording and while maintaining a second position of the electronic device, a second video clip in the second camera movement mode, wherein the second video clip has a moving effect corresponding to the second camera movement mode; and
generate a first synthetic video comprising the first video clip, the second video clip, and the preset audio.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions further cause the electronic device:
obtain a shooting indication by the user;
further generate, when the first camera movement mode identifier is selected and in response to the shooting indication, the first video clip, wherein the first video clip is of a first preset duration; and
further generate, when the second camera movement mode identifier is selected and in response to the shooting indication, the second video clip, wherein the second video clip is of a second preset duration.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions further cause the electronic device:
display, on the video recording interface, a first countdown of generating the first video clip when generating the first video clip; and
display, on the video recording interface, a second countdown of generating the second video clip when generating the second video clip.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions further cause the electronic device:
obtain a third operation of the user;
delete, in response to the third operation and from the video recording interface, the first camera movement mode identifier or the second camera movement mode identifier;
obtain a fourth operation of the user;
maintain the position and start recording in response to the fourth operation; and
generate a second synthetic video comprising the preset audio and a third video clip generated in a remaining camera movement mode that is not deleted from the first camera movement mode and the second camera movement mode.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions further cause the electronic device to:
obtain a third operation of the user;
add, in response to the third operation and to the video recording interface, a third camera movement mode identifier indicating a third camera movement mode;
obtain a fourth operation of the user;
maintain the position and start recording in response to the fourth operation; and
generate a second synthetic video comprising the first video clip, the second video clip, a third video clip generated in the third camera movement mode, and the preset audio.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions further cause the electronic device to:
obtain a third operation of the user;
adjust, in response to the third operation, a first order of displaying the first camera movement mode identifier and the second camera movement mode identifier to a second order;
obtain a fourth operation of the user;
maintain the position and start recording in response to the fourth operation; and
generate a second synthetic video, wherein, in the second synthetic video, the first video clip and the second video clip are in the second order.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions further cause the electronic device to display, on the video recording interface, the first example sample, the second example sample, or both the first example sample and the second example sample.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions further cause the electronic device:
display a presentation interface comprising the first video clip and the second video clip;
obtain, from the user, a video synthesizing instruction; and
perform, in response to the video synthesizing instruction, video synthesizing to obtain the first synthetic video.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein when executed by the processor, the instructions further cause the electronic device:
obtain a third operation of the user and delete the first video clip or the second video clip in response to the third operation;
add a local third video clip to the first synthetic video; or
adjust an order of playing the first video clip or the second video clip in the first synthetic video.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first video recording template is a default template or a user-defined template.

11. An electronic device comprising:
a first wide-angle camera configured to capture a first image and a second image;
a display; and
a processor coupled to the display and the first wide-angle camera and configured to cause the electronic device to:
detect a first operation for opening a camera application;
start, in response to the first operation, the camera application;
detect a second operation indicating a first video recording mode;
display, in response to the second operation and on the display, a viewfinder interface comprising a first preview image, wherein the first preview image is a first image block in a first region in the first image;
maintain a position of the electronic device;
detect a third operation indicating a first image movement direction; and
display, on the viewfinder interface in response to the third operation, a second preview image that is either a second image block in a second region in the second image or a third image block that is based on an angle of view conversion on the second image block,
wherein an orientation of the second region relative to the first region is related to the first image movement direction, wherein a second distance is between the second region and a second edge of the second image, wherein a first distance is between the first region and a first edge of the first image, and wherein a distance change amount of the second distance relative to the first distance is related to the first image movement direction.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the orientation is the same as or opposite to the first image movement direction.

13. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to cause the electronic device to display, on the viewfinder interface, a third preview image that is either a fourth im
