Abstract

A method and a device for performing special effect processing on an image, an electronic apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: acquiring a video; arranging a preset movable window on the video, where the window moves on the video; determining a current image based on a current play progress of the video; acquiring, from a data storage layer by an image acquisition unit of a rendering layer, a historical image when the window is moved to a preset position; combining the historical image and the current image by an animation logic processing unit of a script layer and a special effect unit of the rendering layer; and outputting the combined image and displaying the combined image on a terminal screen.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for performing special effect processing on an image, comprising:
acquiring a video;
setting a movable window in a video playing interface of playing the video, wherein the movable window is configured to move from a side to another side of the video playing interface for a plurality of rounds during playing the video;
acquiring a first image from the video in response to determining that the movable window moves to a rightmost side of the video playing interface in a first round among the plurality of rounds, wherein the first image is a frame of the video being displayed when the movable window moves to the rightmost side of the video playing interface;
determining a current image based on a current play progress of the video while the movable window moving in a second round among the plurality of rounds;
generating a new image by combining the first image and the current image; and
outputting the new image and displaying the new image on the video playing interface.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
storing the first image in a cache.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the combining the first image and the current image into a new image comprises:
determining a position of the movable window in a blank image; and
drawing the movable window at the position, drawing a part of the first image outside the movable window, and drawing a part of the current image in the movable window.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
controlling a movement period of the movable window in each of the plurality of rounds to be less than a time length of the video.

5. A device for performing special effect processing on an image, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that upon execution by the at least one processor cause the device to perform operations comprising:
acquiring a video;
setting a movable window in a video playing interface of playing the video, wherein the movable window is configured to move from a side to another side of the video playing interface for a plurality of rounds during playing the video;
acquiring a first image from the video in response to determining that the movable window moves to a rightmost side of the video playing interface in a first round among the plurality of rounds, wherein the first image is a frame of the video being displayed when the movable window moves to the rightmost side of the video playing interface;
determining a current image based on a current play progress of the video while the movable window moving in a second round among the plurality of rounds;
generating a new image by combining the first image and the current image; and
outputting the new image and displaying the new image on the video playing interface.

6. The device according to claim 5 , the operations further comprising:
storing the first image in a cache.

7. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the combining the first image and the current image into a new image comprises:
determining a position of the movable window in a blank image; and
drawing the movable window at the position, drawing a part of the first image outside the movable window, and drawing a part of the current image in the movable window.

8. The device according to claim 5 , the operations further comprising:
controlling a movement period of the movable window in each of the plurality of rounds to be less than a time length of the video.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, configured to store non-transitory computer-readable instructions that, when being executed by a computer, cause the computer to implement operations comprising:
acquiring a video;
setting a movable window in a video playing interface of playing the video, wherein the movable window is configured to move from a side to another side of the video playing interface for a plurality of rounds during playing the video;
acquiring a first image from the video in response to determining that the movable window moves to a rightmost side of the video playing interface in a first round among the plurality of rounds, wherein the first image is a frame of the video being displayed when the movable window moves to the rightmost side of the video playing interface;
determining a current image based on a current play progress of the video while the movable window moving in a second round among the plurality of rounds;
generating a new image by combining the first image and the current image; and
outputting the new image and displaying the new image on the video playing interface.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the movable window is configured to move from a leftmost side to a rightmost side of the video playing interface in each of the plurality of rounds.

11. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
automatically moving the movable window from a leftmost side of the video playing interface while starting to play the video.

12. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
performing Gaussian blur processing on the first image to obtain a processed image; and
generating the new image by combining the processed image and the current image.

13. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the movable window is configured to move from a leftmost side to a rightmost side of the video playing interface in each of the plurality of rounds.

14. The device according to claim 5 , the operations further comprising:
automatically moving the movable window from a leftmost side of the video playing interface while starting to play the video.

15. The device according to claim 5 , the operations further comprising:
performing Gaussian blur processing on the first image to obtain a processed image; and
generating the new image by combining the processed image and the current image.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the movable window is configured to move from a leftmost side to a rightmost side of the video playing interface in each of the plurality of rounds.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , the operations further comprising:
automatically moving the movable window from a leftmost side of the video playing interface while starting to play the video.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , the operations further comprising:
performing Gaussian blur processing on the first image to obtain a processed image; and
generating the new image by combining the processed image and the current image.
