Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for capturing video, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: receiving a video capture trigger operation from a user via a video playing interface for an original video; superimposing a video capture window on the video playing interface, in response to the video capture trigger operation; receiving a video capture operation from the user via the video playing interface: and capture a user video in response to the video capture operation, and displaying the user video via the video capture window. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a user only needs to perform operations related to capturing a user video on the video playing interface, thereby implementing a function of combining video, and the operation process is simple and fast. The user video can represent the user's feelings, comments, or viewing reactions to the original video. Therefore, the user can conveniently display its views or reactions to the original video, thereby improving interactive experience of user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for capturing video, comprising:
receiving a video capture trigger operation from a user via a video playing interface for an original video;
superimposing a video capture window on the video playing interface in response to the video capture trigger operation, wherein the video capture window is configured to record a user video comprising the user's comment on or reaction to the original video, the video capture window is within the video playing interface for the original video, and the video capture window is smaller than the video playing interface for the original video;
receiving a video capture operation from the user via the video playing interface;
synchronously capturing the user video while playing the original video in response to the video capture operation, and displaying the user video via the video capture window; and
combining the user video and the original video to obtain a combined video during the synchronously capturing the user video, wherein the combining the user video and the original video to obtain the combined video during the synchronously capturing the user video further comprises:
combining video information of the user video and video information of the original video to obtain video information of the combined video during the synchronously capturing the user video, wherein the combining video information of the user video and video information of the original video to obtain video information of the combined video during the synchronously capturing the user video further comprises:
combining an initial video frame image in the user video with a first corresponding video frame image in the original video to obtain a first video frame image in the combined video, wherein the first corresponding video frame image in the original video is determined based on a start time of recording the user video, and
sequentially combining subsequent video frame images in the user video with corresponding video frames in the original video to obtain subsequent video frame images in the combined video,

combining audio information corresponding to video frame images in the user video and audio information corresponding to the corresponding video frames in the original video to obtain audio information of the combined video during the synchronously capturing the user video, wherein a volume of the audio information of the user video and a volume of the audio information of the original video are adjustable via respective volume adjustment progress bars, and
combining the audio information of the combined video and the video information of the combined video to obtain the combined video during the synchronously capturing the user video.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a window movement operation with respect to the video capture window, from the user; and
adjusting the video capture window to a corresponding region in the video playing interface, in response to the window movement operation.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein, the adjusting the video capture window comprises:
displaying a pre-configured window adjustment boundary line in the video playing interface, in response to the window movement operation, wherein, the window adjustment boundary line is configured to limit a display region of the video capture window;
determining a current display region of the video capture window based on the window movement operation and the window adjustment boundary line; and
adjusting the video capture window to a corresponding position in the video playing interface based on the current display region.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein, the determining a current display region comprises:
determining a first display region of the video capture window based on the window movement operation;
determining the first display region as the current display region, if a distance between the first display region and any one of window adjustment boundary lines is not less than a set distance; and
determining a second display region as the current display region, if the distance between the first display region and any one of the window adjustment boundary lines is less than the set distance;
wherein, the second display region is a region generated by translating the first display region to any one of the window adjustment boundary lines, and at least one position point of the second display region overlaps with any one of the window adjustment boundary lines.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, the capturing a user video and displaying the user video comprises:
capturing the user video while playing the original video, in response to the video capture operation, and displaying the user video via the video capture window.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a window size adjustment operation with respect to the video capture window from the user; and
adjusting the video capture window to a corresponding display size, in response to the window size adjustment operation.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a special effect addition operation with respect to a special effect to be added, from the user, via the video playing interface; and
adding the special effect to be added to the user video, in response to the special effect addition operation.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, before capturing a user video, the method further comprise:
receiving a recording selection operation with respect to a recording mode for the user video, from the user, via the video playing interface, wherein, the recording mode comprises at least one of a fast recording mode, a slow recording mode, and a standard recording mode; and
determining the recording mode for the user video based on the recording selection operation.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a volume adjustment operation via the video playing interface, from the user; and
adjusting volumes of an audio information of the user video and/or an audio information of the original video accordingly, in response to the volume adjustment operation.

10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
providing an operation prompt option to the user, wherein, the operation prompt option is used to provide the user with a prompt information of a capture operation for the combined video upon receiving an operation from the user.

11. An electronic device, comprising:
a memory, configured to store a computer operation instruction; and
a processor, configured to execute a method for capturing video, by invoking the computer operation instruction, wherein the method comprises:
receiving a video capture trigger operation from a user via a video playing interface for an original video;
superimposing a video capture window on the video playing interface in response to the video capture trigger operation, wherein the video capture window is configured to record a user video comprising the user's comment on or reaction to the original video, the video capture window is within the video playing interface for the original video, and the video capture window is smaller than the video playing interface for the original video;
receiving a video capture operation from the user via the video playing interface;
synchronously capturing the user video while playing the original video in response to the video capture operation, and displaying the user video via the video capture window; and
combining the user video and the original video to obtain a combined video during the synchronously capturing the user video, wherein the combining
