Abstract
A video material selecting apparatus and a method for selecting a video material are proposed, which can remarkably improve the operating efficiency of the selecting operation for the video material. The video data and associated data of each video materials which satisfy requirements inputted through an inputting means, out of the plurality of video materials from a storing means, and the reference image and associated information of each video material are displayed on a screen based on the video data and the associated data.
Claims10
A video material selecting apparatus capable of selecting a desired video material out of a plurality of video materials, comprising:
- storing means for storing video data and associated data of said plurality of video materials;
- input means for inputting prescribed requirements;
- and
- display means for reading said video data and said associated data of each video material which satisfies said prescribed requirements, which are inputted through said input means, out of said plurality of video materials from said storing means, and for displaying a reference image and associated information of each video material on a screen based on said video data and said associated data, in which the reference image is a dynamic image, whereby said dynamic image is obtained from extracted slit images from a plurality of frame images, and for displaying a graphical user interface operable to have selected video material and information associated with a duration of said selected video material displayed therein.

- storing means for storing video data and associated data of said plurality of video materials;
- input means for inputting prescribed requirements;
- and
- display means for reading said video data and said associated data of each video material which satisfies said prescribed requirements, which are inputted through said input means, out of said plurality of video materials from said storing means, and for displaying a reference image and associated information of each video material on a screen based on said video data and said associated data, in which the reference image is a dynamic image, wherein said dynamic image is obtained by extracting slit images from a series of frame images based on said video data while sequentially moving the positions of said slit images toward one direction and then, by sequentially displaying static images for a plurality of frames which are formed by sequentially arranging the extracted slit images of each frame image in the other direction, for a cycle of prescribed frames, and for displaying a graphical user interface operable to have selected video material and information associated with a duration of said selected video material displayed therein.
A method of selecting a video material to select a desired video material out of a plurality of video materials, comprising the steps of:
- searching said video materials which satisfy prescribed requirements out of said plurality of video materials;
- displaying a reference image and associated information of each of said video materials based on video data and associated data of each of said video materials on a screen, in which the reference image is a dynamic image, whereby said dynamic image is obtained from extracted slit images from a plurality of frame images;
- and
- displaying a graphical user interface operable to have selected video material and information associated with a duration of said selected video material displayed therein.
