When AI encounters Chinese culture, what kind of wonderful reaction will it have?
Recently, the second season of the large-scale historical and cultural documentary "China", which spanned ancient and modern times, returned with great acclaim and landed strongly on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV. With its exquisite narrative and vivid lens language, the film traces the star-studded Chinese history and shows the demeanor of a great country. It has been well received since its launch.
During the broadcast, derivative videos such as highlight clips of characters in the documentary and wonderful clips of historical stories continued. Surprisingly, these instant and high-quality "Jiagen videos" are not produced by specialized editors, but are "works" that are automatically generated by the AI editing function of Baidu Smart Cloud.
A high-quality, well-received program is inseparable from the refined packaging of post-production. In reality, the traditional post-production process of film and television programs relies on manual completion, and processes such as material selection, editing, flower character production, music sound effect editing, color matching, and synthesis are indispensable. Once encountering the situation of huge work tasks and short production cycle, staying up late in the computer room for liver video has also become a routine for editors in the later stage, and it is easy to lose physical and mental health.
Under the requirements of "timeliness" and "high quality" of video release, AI video editing has become a new possibility for film and television program production.
In cooperation with Hunan Satellite TV, Baidu Smart Cloud AI editing application video highlights to extract scenes, providing AI capabilities such as face recognition, action recognition, and semantic recognition for highlight clip extraction. At the same time, in the face of technical difficulties such as matching accuracy, content understanding, and fast searching for video content, Baidu Smart Cloud AI Editing can quickly locate long video clips, automate batch editing and splicing, and output short video highlights quickly and high-quality. The efficiency is purely manual Three times the processing efficiency, greatly shortening the time for video production, and better presenting the wonderful moments of Chinese history to the audience in a panoramic and immediate manner.
In addition, using AI editing technology can not only shorten the material processing time, but also have more advantages in video synthesis speed. Compared with traditional editing services, all video processing tools are based on the elastic cloud processing space of Baidu Smart Cloud, which can be used anytime, anywhere, and is not limited by local server configuration, which can directly improve the processing speed of video. Whenever and wherever, creators can use Baidu Smart Cloud's AI editing technology to quickly complete video production tasks and free themselves from tedious work.
Taking the video clip of "China" as an example, Baidu Smart Cloud mainly solved the three main technical difficulties in the traditional post-production process.
-
First of all, the character editing of the documentary needs to extract accurate character material from the massive material of related characters. Based on the leading AI recognition ability, Baidu Smart Cloud can extract sample features for promotional videos, makeup photos, etc., to avoid the problem of inconsistent characters. ;
-
Secondly, it is difficult to quickly preview and export large files and long videos such as documentaries and film and television dramas. With the advantage of content understanding ability, Baidu Smart Cloud processes the media in a segmented and parallel manner to improve the recognition performance;
-
Finally, regarding the screening of invalid content, Baidu Smart Cloud can preferentially screen out obviously abnormal screen content during the frame inspection process, and customize the configuration behavior to remove invalid content for materials with the same regularity (titles and endings). This greatly saves editing time.
At present, in terms of application scenarios, the solution has achieved technical adaptation in the media and newspaper industry, media industry, online adult education industry, and corporate marketing industry. It has mature and complete implementation, and applications in more industries and fields are also being implemented in the future. Continuous development and improvement. Next, Baidu Intelligent Cloud will continue to explore and evolve, empowering with AI technology, helping more industry customers to improve content production productivity, and contributing more technical imagination.
