Abstract

This specification discloses an assistant editing display method for media clips. It provides in multimedia editing software an improved three-point control scheme. In other words, the concept of double time axes is used to execute editing display processes for media clips. In contrast with the multimedia editing and processing software in the prior art, the disclosed technique is characterized in that: the disclosed method provides an assistant display mode to resize the display ratio of assigned media clip and to perform detailed media editing processes. The invention can solve the problems that it is impossible to visualize detailed media clip presentation and to perform detailed media clip editing processes when the media clip is too long.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An assistant editing display method for media clips to provide an improved three-point control in multimedia editing software for executing a media clip editing display process, wherein the method is characterized in starting an assistant display mode to resize a display ratio and perform detailed editing process in a designated media clip, the assistant display mode comprising the steps of: 
 receiving media clip information and generating a second trim-bar interface and a second media clip interface using an equal-proportion mechanism;    displaying a current-point cursor and a corresponding media content; and    providing media editing operations for the second media clip.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  applied to the media clip editing display process with the time concept.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the types of the media clip include at least video and sound.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the media clip editing display process comprises the steps of: 
 starting the media clip editing interface and reading in information of a selected media file;    extracting time information from the media clip information and generating a first trim-bar interface using the equal-proportion mechanism;    receiving the media clip information set by a user;    generating a first media clip interface and displaying the media content corresponding to the current-point cursor; and    providing media editing operations for the first media clip.    
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the media file information contains at least a name, a time, a file size, and a media source path.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the equal-proportion mechanism is to set the number of rod adjustment sections in the first trim-bar interface according to the time information.  
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the media clip information contains at least an in-point time, an out-point time and the current-point cursor.  
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the equal-proportion mechanism is to set the number of rod adjustment sections in the second trim-bar interface according to the media clip time information.  
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the equal-proportion mechanism is performed at real time through an interface.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the media clip time information is the difference between the out-point time and the in-point time.  
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the media clip time information is immediately adjustable by dragging in an interface.
