Description

Automatic list editing method and device in subtitle making process

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of subtitle making, in particular to an automatic list editing method and device in a subtitle making process.

Background

With the continuous development of video and multimedia technologies, the application of caption machines is more and more extensive, and the caption machines are not only applied to the production of program captions of television stations and the production of movie and television series, but also are widely used in activities such as video monitoring, civil advertisements, wedding video recording and the like. Meanwhile, the caption machine is easy to operate and use.

The caption machine is generally composed of a PC, a specialized caption overlay card and corresponding software, and is used to overlay teletext captions on a video signal. The character generator is characterized in that: the method has the advantages of real-time superposition, no need of generation, bright color and small signal loss, and is suitable for TV station superposition station marks, corner marks, left-flying advertisements and the like.

The working process of the caption machine mainly comprises caption making and caption broadcasting, wherein the caption making process comprises the following steps: combining the elements of the template, the material, the broadcasting control information and the like to jointly generate a caption object, wherein the set of a plurality of caption objects is a caption form.

The template refers to a subtitle template, and the subtitle template defines a material definition field and a corresponding broadcasting style. The material definition field defines a virtual subtitle content which can be replaced by different materials; the material includes caption contents actually played, such as pictures and animations in various formats. The broadcasting style refers to the font, color and size of the subtitle and the broadcasting modes including various special effects, such as scrolling broadcasting, left flying broadcasting, flying broadcasting and the like. The broadcast control information includes information such as program type, program name, broadcast time, broadcast duration, etc. Therefore, the caption object formed by combining the template, the material and the broadcasting control information comprises various information such as when, corresponding to what kind of program, which caption is broadcasted and what kind of style the caption is broadcasted according to.

Currently, in the process of generating a form object (i.e. the above-mentioned subtitle object), the operation process of an editor is as follows:

opening a list editing window, as shown in fig. 1, displaying information such as time, materials, templates and the like, and editing personnel need to input caption broadcasting time beside the position of the displayed time; clicking a browsing button beside a position for displaying the material, searching a storage path of the material to be added, and clicking a determining button; and clicking a browsing button at the position of the display template, searching a storage path of the template to be added, and clicking a determining button. Thus, a form object is generated.

One form contains a plurality of objects, the generation of each object needs to click a browsing button one by one to search, and then click a determining button to confirm and add, the operation process is very time-consuming, and an operator needs to enter a first-level directory to search, which is very tedious. Therefore, the current form editing method is inefficient and wastes a large amount of personnel and time.

Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.

The first embodiment is as follows:

fig. 2 is a flowchart of an automatic ordering method in the subtitle making process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Step 201, respectively establishing indexes for each element;

the elements refer to elements for generating the form object, such as a template and a material, and indexes are respectively established for the template and the material;

step 202, determining the constituent elements of the current form object;

namely determining which templates and materials are needed by the current form object;

step 203, respectively searching corresponding component elements from the component element indexes according to the keywords;

and 204, respectively adding the searched corresponding component elements to the form to generate a form object.

Example two:

this is illustrated by way of specific examples.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a form editing interface according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The form in the figure contains object 1 and object 2:

the object 1 is material 1+ template 1+ broadcast control information 1;

the object 2 is material 2+ template 2+ broadcast control information 2;

wherein,

the material 1 is a picture file a, and the storage address is c: \.

The material 2 is a text file b, and the storage address is d: \ b.doc;

the template 1 is the picture field + the play style 1;

template 2 is the text field + the broadcast style 2;

the playing style 1 is 16:00:00-17:00:00, and the playing is continuously carried out for 3 times;

and playing the pattern 2 as 17:00:00-18:00:00, and playing the pattern 3 times in a circulating way, and stopping for 5 seconds each time.

The template and the material are stored in a template library and a material library respectively.

Taking the example of adding materials and templates, the index established for the material library is shown in index table 1, the index established for the template library is shown in index table 2, and the keywords of the index table are in the arrangement sequence of "1, 2, 3.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a method for automatically editing a list according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Step 401, determining the constituent elements of the form object;

namely, the object 1 comprises a material 1, a template 1 and broadcasting control information 1, and the object 2 comprises a material 2, a template 2 and broadcasting control information 2;

step 402, opening an index table 1, and searching a material 1 and a material 2 in the index table 1 according to keywords;

in the index table 1, the keyword 1 corresponds to the material 1, and the path of the stored picture is c: \. The keyword 2 corresponds to the material 2, and the path for storing the text file is d: \.

Step 403, adding a material 1 and a material 2 in the form;

pressing a mouse, and directly dragging the material 1 found in the index table 1 to a position of the object 1 in the form for adding the material;

similarly, pressing the mouse, and directly dragging the material 2 found in the index table 1 to the position of the object 2 in the form for adding the material;

step 404, opening the index table 2, and searching the template 1 and the template 2 in the index table 2 according to the keywords;

in the index table 2, the keyword 1 corresponds to the template 1, and the keyword 2 corresponds to the template 2;

step 405, adding a template 1 and a template 2 in the form;

pressing a mouse, directly dragging the template 1 found in the index table 2 to the position of the object 1 in the form where the template is added, and directly dragging the template 2 to the position of the object 2 in the form where the template is added;

and step 406, continuing to add the materials and templates of other objects to the form according to the steps.

Through the operations, a form editor does not need to search the template or the material step by step in a directory manner like the prior art, but can directly add the required elements to the object through simple searching and mouse dragging operations. Particularly, for a form containing a large number of objects, an editor simultaneously opens a form interface, a template index table and a material index table under the same operation window, and can finish editing through multiple dragging operations, so that the editing efficiency is greatly improved.

Of course, the above flow only takes the addition of templates and materials as an example, and in practical applications, other elements may be managed by way of indexes according to the above flow.

Example three:

aiming at the embodiment of the method, the invention also provides a corresponding device embodiment.

Fig. 5 is a structural diagram of an automatic list editing device in the subtitle making process according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
