METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADDING A VIDEO SPECIAL EFFECT, TERMINAL DEVICE AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Provided is a method for adding a video special effect. The method includes acquiring an image frame in a video, and recognizing a target human joint point of a user in the image frame; when a position of the target human joint point in the image frame satisfies a joint position condition, using the image frame as a target image frame and acquiring at least two consecutive image frames before the target image frame; determining a motion state of the target human joint point according to the target human joint point recognized in the at least two consecutive image frames; when the target human joint point satisfies a joint motion condition, acquiring a video special effect matching the video special effect condition; and adding, at a video position associated with the target image frame in the video, the video special effect matching the video special effect condition.
