Abstract

This application provides a video message generation method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The video message generation method includes: receiving a comment instruction for a video; determining a target frame corresponding to the comment instruction in the video; obtaining input comment content of the target frame; and generating a video message based on the video, the target frame, and the comment content of the target frame.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A video message generation method, performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving a comment instruction for a video being played in a video playing region;
determining a target frame corresponding to the comment instruction in the video;
obtaining a user's input comment contents of a plurality of the target frames;
generating a video message based on the video, the plurality of the target frames, and the user's input comment contents of the plurality of the target frames;
sharing the video message in a session interface of a social application; and
displaying the video message in the session interface of the social application, the video message comprising the video, the plurality of the target frames with corresponding playing time points, and the user's input comment contents of the plurality of the target frames, wherein the video message enables playing the video starting from one of the plurality of the target frames with corresponding comment content, and the target frame is not a first frame of the video,
wherein the determining the target frame corresponding to the comment instruction in the video further includes:
in response to the comment instruction, automatically displaying, in a designated region of a video playing interface different from the video playing region, a plurality of thumbnails representing a plurality of frames of the video as candidates to be selected as the target frame by the user.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving a comment instruction for a video comprises:
detecting a picture commenting operation in a video playing interface in which the video is played; and
using the detected picture commenting operation as the comment instruction.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
the plurality of frames include all or certain key frames of the video.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining a target frame corresponding to the comment instruction in the video further comprises:
detecting, among the plurality of thumbnails, a selection operation triggered by the user on the displayed thumbnails; and
using at least one frame corresponding to any thumbnail selected by the selection operation as the target frame.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the receiving a comment instruction for a video, the method further comprises:
playing the video and displaying a playing progress bar of the video in the video playing region of the video playing interface.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
the plurality of frames corresponding to the plurality of thumbnails are determined using a picture currently played in the video playing region.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the obtaining input comment content of the target frame comprises:
initiating a window for the target frame;
displaying the window in the video playing interface in which the video is played; and
obtaining the comment content of the target frame according to a triggered comment input operation in a content input region of the window.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the sharing the video message in a session interface of a social application, the method further comprises:
detecting a video viewing operation on the video message in the session interface; and
playing the video in the video playing interface according to the video viewing operation, and displaying the comment content of the target frame when the video is played to the target frame.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a video viewing operation on the video message in the session interface; and
playing the video by using the target frame as a starting picture in the video playing interface, and displaying the comment content of the target frame.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein comment contents of a plurality of target frames are obtained, and the method further comprises:
marking the target frames with the comment contents on the playing progress bar of the video according to playing time points of the target frames in the video; and
when one of the marks is triggered, displaying the comment content corresponding to the triggered mark in the video playing interface of the video.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the method further comprises:
using the playing time point of the target frame with the comment content in the video as an index, and searching a constructed comment index table for index information corresponding to the index; and
using founded index information as the comment content to be displayed.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the session interface of the social application is a message conversation interface corresponding to one or more chat objects determined based on user selection.

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein comment contents of a plurality of target frames are obtained, and the method further comprises:
displaying the plurality of target frames with the corresponding comment contents;
receiving selection of one of the plurality of target frames; and
playing the video starting from the selected target frame with the corresponding comment content.

14. A video message generation apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory, the memory storing computer-readable instructions, and the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
receive a comment instruction for a video being played in a video playing region;
determine a target frame corresponding to the comment instruction in the video;
obtain a user's input comment contents of a plurality of the target frames;
generate a video message based on the video, the plurality of the target frames, and the user's input comment contents of the plurality of the target frames;
share the video message in a session interface of a social application; and
display the video message in the session interface of the social application, the video message comprising the video, the plurality of the target frames with corresponding playing time points, and the user's input comment contents of the plurality of the target frames, wherein the video message enables playing the video starting from one of the plurality of the target frames with corresponding comment content, and the target frame is not a first frame of the video,
wherein the determining the target frame corresponding to the comment instruction in the video further includes:
in response to the comment instruction, automatically displaying, in a designated region of a video playing interface different from the video playing region, a plurality of thumbnails representing a plurality of frames of the video as candidates to be selected as the target frame by the user.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing a computer program, the computer program, when executed by at least one processor, causing the at least one processor to implement:
receiving a comment instruction for a video being played in a video playing region;
determining a target frame corresponding to the comment instruction in the video;
obtaining a user's input comment contents of a plurality of the target frames;
generating a video message based on the video, the plurality of the target frames, and the user's input comment contents of the plurality of the target frames;
sharing the video message in a session interface of a social application; and
displaying the video message in the session inte
