To continue recording the last content after exiting a short video recording and starting a second recording, you can use a feature called "append recording" or "continue recording", which allows seamless continuation of the previous video clip. This is often supported in video editing apps or cloud-based video processing platforms.
How it works:
- First Recording: Record a short video and save it temporarily.
- Second Recording: Start a new recording, and the app/platform detects the previous clip.
- Append Mode: The system merges the new recording with the previous one, creating a continuous video.
Example:
- A user records a 10-second clip of a sunset (Clip A).
- They exit the recording app, then start a new session to record a 5-second clip of a bird (Clip B).
- If the app supports appending, the final output will be a 15-second video (Clip A + Clip B) without manual merging.
Cloud-Based Solution (Tencent Cloud):
For scalable video processing, Tencent Cloud Media Processing Service (MPS) can automate video stitching. Use Video Stitching or Media Editing APIs to programmatically combine multiple clips into a single file. This is useful for apps requiring continuous recording across sessions.
Example workflow:
- Upload both clips (Clip A and Clip B) to Tencent Cloud Object Storage (COS).
- Use MPS to stitch them into a seamless video via API calls.
- Deliver the final output to users or store it back in COS.
This approach ensures efficient, server-side handling of video continuation without user intervention.
