Samsung patents video editing that keeps the look of your chosen thumbnail

This filing describes a feature where a phone lets you pick a specific frame from a video to serve as its cover image. The system automatically copies the visual style, such as brightness or color, from the original cover to the new frame so the video looks consistent.

Why it mattersIt simplifies video editing by ensuring the main preview image matches the rest of the clip's visual style without manual adjustments.

In the filing’s own words

An electronic device for performing editing based on a representative image with changed image attributes, and a control method therefor are provided. The electronic device includes a touch screen display, at least one camera, memory, including one or more storage media, storing instructions, and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the touch screen display, the at least one camera, and the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to capture a motion image via the at least one camera, wherein the motion image includes a representative frame corresponding to a first representative image and a plurality of frames, in order to change the first representative image into a second representative image that is different from the first representative image, receive a user input for selecting a first frame from among the plurality of frames included in the motion image, identify an image attribute of the first representative image and apply the identified image attribute to the selected first frame, based on the user input, and display the first frame to which the identified image attribute is applied as the second representative image for the motion image via the touch screen display.
