A method for detecting a jitter in a video includes obtaining (101) video frames of a video, in which the video frames include a target video frame and a plurality of historical video frames before the target video frame, determining (102) moving distances in a preset distance of the video frames relative to corresponding previous video frames, determining (103) a target amplitude and a target period in the preset direction for the target video frame; and determining (104) that there is a jitter in a video in response to the target amplitude in the preset direction determined for the target video frame being greater than a preset amplitude and the target period being less than a preset period.
