Method, apparatus, and storage medium for video recording using a focus tracking window

A terminal device, comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores computer-executable instructions;

• and the processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory, to cause the terminal device to perform the following steps:
• displaying, a first interface of a camera application, wherein the first interface comprises a first window and a second window, the first window displays a first picture collected by a camera, and the second window displays a second picture, and the second picture is a part of the first picture;
• at a first moment, when the terminal device detects that a first position of the first picture comprises a first object, comprising the first object in the second picture;
• at a second moment, when the terminal device detects that a second position of the first picture comprises the first object, comprising the first object in the second picture, wherein the second moment is later than the first moment, and the first position is different from the second position;
• and
• when the terminal device detects that the first picture does not comprise the first object, skipping comprising the first object in the second picture, and adding a mask for the second window;
• and
• before displaying the first interface of the camera application:
• displaying a fourth interface of the camera application, wherein the fourth interface comprises the first window but does not comprise the second window, and the first window displays a fifth picture collected by the camera and a first button;
• detecting a trigger operation of a user on the first button;
• displaying, in response to the trigger operation of the user on the first button, a fifth interface of the camera application, wherein the fifth interface comprises the first window, and the first window displays a sixth picture collected by the camera and first recording duration information of the first window;
• and
• displaying, when the terminal device detects that the first window in the fifth interface comprises the first object, a first tracking identifier associated with the first object in the first window;
• and detecting, by the terminal device, a trigger operation of the user on the first tracking identifier;
• and
• wherein displaying the first interface of the camera application comprises:
• displaying the first interface, by the terminal device, in response to the trigger operation of the user on the first tracking identifier, wherein the second window in the first interface further comprises second recording duration information of the second window, and the second recording duration information of the second window is different from the first recording duration information of the first window.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores computer instructions, and when the computer instructions are run on a terminal device, the terminal device is caused to perform the following:

• displaying a first interface of a camera application, wherein the first interface comprises a first window and a second window, the first window displays a first picture collected by a camera, and the second window displays a second picture, and the second picture is a part of the first picture;
• at a first moment, when the terminal device detects that a first position of the first picture comprises a first object, comprising the first object in the second picture;
• at a second moment, when the terminal device detects that a second position of the first picture comprises the first object, comprising the first object in the second picture, wherein the second moment is later than the first moment, and the first position is different from the second position;
• and
• when the terminal device detects that the first picture does not comprise the first object, skipping comprising the first object in the second picture, and adding a mask for the second window;
• and
• before displaying the first interface of the camera application:
• displaying a fourth interface of the camera application, wherein the fourth interface comprises the first window but does not comprise the second window, and the first window displays a fifth picture collected by the camera and a first button;
• detecting a trigger operation of a user on the first button;
• displaying, in response to the trigger operation of the user on the first button, a fifth interface of the camera application, wherein the fifth interface comprises the first window, and the first window displays a sixth picture collected by the camera and first recording duration information of the first window;
• and
• displaying, when the terminal device detects that the first window in the fifth interface comprises the first object, a first tracking identifier associated with the first object in the first window;
• and detecting, by the terminal device, a trigger operation of the user on the first tracking identifier;
• and
• wherein displaying the first interface of the camera application comprises:
• displaying the first interface, by the terminal device, in response to the trigger operation of the user on the first tracking identifier, wherein the second window in the first interface further comprises second recording duration information of the second window, and the second recording duration information of the second window is different from the first recording duration information of the first window.
