The invention is suitable for the field of computer technologies and provides a video production method and device. The method comprises the following steps of intercepting an input initial video to obtain video segments according to the time information for video interception, wherein the time information for video interception comprises start time of the video, end time of the video and duration of the video; carrying out batch setting on video layers corresponding to the video fragments to generate a specific effects video according to a preset video footage set; and outputting the specific effects video in the corresponding format according to the preset video format and the specific effects video. According to the video production method and device, the batch processing is directly carried out on the intercepted video segments through the preset video footage set, so that the specific effects video needed by the user is obtained, and the videos in different formats are output according to the user demands, the operation is simple for the user, the repeated work is reduced, the work efficiency for producing the video is improved, the convenience for user operation is improved and the user experience feeling is enhanced.
