## Abstract

A video generation method includes: when a video theme configured by a user and a video production instruction are obtained, obtaining, according to the video production instruction, a user image and multiple video templates matching the video theme; embedding the user image into reserved positions of at least some of the video templates so that the user image is combined with situational materials of the video templates to generate at least one video; obtaining a video to be published from the at least one video, and publishing the video to be published to a preset video playback platform. Thus, during the process of video production, at least one video can be generated at a time as long as the user image is embedded into multiple video templates, without repeatedly photographing by a user.

in response to the reserved position of the target template comprising a historical image of the user,
posting a video of a template selected by the user from the target template to the preset video playing platform in response to a posting instruction from the user, and ending a current process of generating the video; and
acquiring the user image in response to a capture instruction from the user, and replacing the historical image on the target template with the user image in a process of embedding the user image into the reserved position of the at least part of video template among the plurality of video templates.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
playing, on a display interface, the video on the video playing platform, wherein the video on the video playing platform is generated based on the video template;
providing an interactive interface for interacting with a video poster, in response to detecting a preset trigger operation on the display interface; and
generating interactive information in response to an operation on a preset option detected on the interactive interface, and sending the interactive information to the video poster, wherein the preset options comprise at least one of: an operation of sending a message, a greeting operation, and an operation of viewing a video posting record.

### Claim 6

A terminal device, comprising:
a memory storing a computer program; and
a processor,
wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
acquire a video theme configured by a user and a video production instruction;
acquire a user image and at least one video template matching the video theme in response to the video production instruction, wherein the video template comprises a preset target material and a reserved position for the user image;
embed the user image into the reserved position of the at least one video template, to combine the user image with the target material on the at least one video template;
