Method and apparatus for capturing a video, terminal device and storage medium

A method for capturing a video, comprising:

• detecting a long-press operation of a press-to-capture control on a wait capturing instruction interface;
• displaying a captured target scenario on the wait capturing instruction interface until detecting a release operation of the press-to-capture control, so as to obtain a video segment;
• determining whether a trigger operation of a next step control on the wait capturing instruction interface is detected;
• in response to determining that the trigger operation of the next step control on the wait capturing instruction interface is not detected, acquiring the long-press operation and the release operation of the press-to-capture control repeatedly to obtain at least one video segment until detecting the trigger operation of the next step control on the wait capturing instruction interface;
• and
• jumping, according to the trigger operation of the next step control, from the wait capturing instruction interface to a captured video storage interface, and displaying, on the captured video storage interface, a result of obtaining a target video by synthesizing the obtained video segments.

A terminal device, comprising a memory, a controller, and a program stored in the memory and executable on the controller, wherein the controller, when executing the program, implements:

• acquiring a video captured instruction, and performing video capturing on a target scenario until acquiring a video captured pause instruction, so as to obtain a video segment captured between the video captured instruction and the video captured pause instruction;
• determining whether a video generation instruction is acquired;
• in response to determining that the video generation instruction is not acquired, acquiring the video captured instruction and the video captured pause instruction repeatedly to obtain at least one video segment until acquiring the video generation instruction;
• and
• based on the video generation instruction, generating a target video according to the obtained video segments.
