Method and device for determining inter-cut time range in media item

Abstract

This specification describes techniques for determining an inter-cut time range in a media item. In one example method, a set of candidate segmentation points representing time points in a media item is determined, wherein each candidate segmentation point represents at least one of a time point at which feature media data appears in the media item, or a time point at which feature media data disappears from the media item. Based on the candidate segmentation points, an inter-cut time range is identified. The inter-cut time range is associated with a start point from the candidate segmentation points that satisfies a predetermined start point condition, and the inter-cut time range is associated with an end point from the candidate segmentation points that satisfies a predetermined end point condition. The inter-cut time range represents a time period between the start point and the end point in the media item.
