Abstract
An editing apparatus or method, when applied in particular to a simple editing system using an information processing apparatus, such as a personal computer, makes possible execution of various aspects of editing in a simple configuration. Only partial video signals required for the setting of editing points are transferred to working memory means to enable the result of editing to be previewed.
Claims20
An editing apparatus comprising:
- a playback controller for effecting control to selectively enter video signals, which are to be edited, as instructed by an operator from a playback side memory apparatus in which the video signals are recorded;
- memory means for recording said selectively entered video signals;
- a list generator for generating an editing list on the basis of the video signals recorded in said memory means and editing commands given by the operator regarding said video signals;
- and
- an edit processor for controlling, on the basis of said editing list, the playback side memory apparatus to edit said video signals to be edited.
An editing apparatus for recording video signals recorded in the playback side memory apparatus, comprising:
- a controller for planning the order of recording so as to minimize the frequency of changing recording media in the playback side memory apparatus;
- and
- an edit processor for controlling, on the basis of said planning, the actions of a recording side memory apparatus and of the playback side memory apparatus to perform editing.
An editing method whereby:
- video signals which are to be edited, are selectively entered as instructed by the operator from the playback side memory apparatus in which the video signals are recorded;
- said selectively entered video signals are recorded;
- an editing list is generated on the basis of the video signals recorded in said memory and editing commands given by the operator regarding said video signals;
- and
- the playback memory apparatus is controlled to edit said video signals to be edited on the basis of said editing list.
An editing method for recording video signals recorded in the playback side memory apparatus, whereby:
- the order of recording is planned so as to minimize the frequency of changing recording media in the playback side memory apparatus;
- and
- editing is performed by controlling, on the basis of said planning, the actions of the recording side memory apparatus and of the playback side memory apparatus.
