Abstract
When a point (parameter) to be edited is judged to be present in the shape or moving state of an object (to be displayed) during reproduction of animation, the user selects the object on the screen (S201–204). Varying parameters (variation parameters; position, and the like) of the object are extracted during the reproduction of the animation and displayed on another display screen. The animation can be corrected by stopping it at a part to be edited and correcting the values of the displayed variation parameters (S205–208). Since the variation parameters can be extracted and the animation can be edited, edition of animation is facilitated.
Claims21
A time-varying image editing apparatus for editing a time-varying image by using prescription data including a parameter that prescribes a condition of an object in the time-varying image, the time-varying image editing apparatus comprising:
- an input section for receiving a user instruction;
- an extracting section for extracting, from the prescription data, a varying parameter that regards a change in the condition of the object in the time-varying image;
- and
- a modifying section for modifying the thus extracted varying parameter in accordance with the user instruction, and updating the prescription data by using the thus modified varying parameter.
The time-varying image editing apparatus as set forth in claim 17, wherein:
- the extracting section is so established as to cause the varying parameter display section to display, sequentially and as reproduction information, values of the varying parameter in the intervening image data and the frame image data that are displayed on the image display section, the values of the varying parameter regarding the thus specified object.
A time-varying image editing method for editing a time-varying image by using prescription data including a parameter that prescribes a condition of an object in the time-varying image, comprising the steps of:
- extracting, from the prescription data, a varying parameter that regards a change in the condition of the object in the time-varying image;
- modifying the thus extracted varying parameter in accordance with a user instruction;
- and
- updating the prescription data by using the thus modified varying parameter.
A time-varying image editing method for editing a time-varying image by using prescription data including a parameter that prescribes a condition of an object in thetime-varying image, the time-varying image editing method causing a computer to execute the process of:
- extracting, from the prescription data, a varying parameter that regards a change in the condition of the object in the time-varying image;
- modifying the thus extracted varying parameter in accordance with a user instruction;
- and
- updating the prescription data by using the thus modified varying parameter.
A time-varying image editing program for use in a computer of a time-varying image editing apparatus for editing a time-varying image by using prescription data including a parameter that prescribes a condition of an object in the time-varying image, the time-varying image editing program causing the computer to function as:
- an extracting section for extracting, from the prescription data, a varying parameter that regards a change in the condition of the object in the time-varying image;
- and
- a modifying section for modifying the thus extracted varying parameter in accordance with a user instruction, and updating the prescription data by using the thus modified varying parameter.
A recording medium storing thereon a computer program for a time-varying image editing process for editing a time-varying image by using prescription data including a parameter that prescribes a condition of an object in the time-varying image, the recording medium storing thereon a computer program being operable to effect the process of:
- extracting, from the prescription data, a varying parameter that regards a change in the condition of the object in the time-varying image;
- modifying the thus extracted varying parameter in accordance with a user instruction;
- and
- updating the prescription data by using the thus modified varying parameter.
A method for editing a time-varying image including an object, wherein a condition of the object is prescribed by prescription data including at least one parameter, comprising the steps of:
- extracting from the prescription data a varying parameter that varies with a change in the condition of the object in the time-varying image;
- modifying the extracted varying parameter in accordance with a user instruction;
- and
- updating the prescription data with the modified varying parameter.
