A video material editing method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: acquiring a plurality of video materials; and determining a video split-screen template. By exhibiting a plurality of video track clips formed based on the plurality of video materials on a video editing track, and displaying a video editing image formed from video images of the plurality of video track clips according to a video split-screen template, video images of the plurality of video track clips are exhibited through a plurality of split regions in the video editing image in a split-screen manner; timeline intervals corresponding to the plurality of video track clips on the video editing track at least partially overlap with each other, to ensure that the finally obtained video has a video split-screen splice effect. The method may implement rapid split-screen splice of the plurality of video materials through a video clip tool, without manual adjustment by a user, which meets video editing needs of users who want to rapidly splice video materials, and automatic video split-screen splice improves efficiency of video material editing, which is favorable for improving user experience.
