Abstract
A content editing assistance system includes a mark generator for generating electronic mark data relating to content data; a take-metadata generator for generating a take-metadata file based on the electronic mark data generated for each take; a manager for managing the content data and the take-metadata file relating to the content data as separate files; a list generator for generating electronic-mark-list data based on the take-metadata file; and an editor for editing the electronic-mark-list data.
Claims32
A content editing assistance system comprising:
- a mark generator for generating electronic mark data relating to content data;
- a take-metadata generator for generating a take-metadata file based on the electronic mark data generated for each take;
- a manager for managing the content data and the take-metadata file relating to the content data as separate files;
- a list generator for generating electronic-mark-list data based on the take-metadata file;
- and
- an editor for editing the electronic-mark-list data,
- wherein the electronic mark indicating a special content data is generated when the mark generator detects a peak of total value of luminance levels of each frame in a predetermined length period, or when the mark generator detects that total value of audio output levels of each frame exceeds a predetermined level within a predetermined length period.
4 more elements
A video processing apparatus comprising:
- a mark generator for generating electronic mark data relating to content data;
- a take-metadata generator for generating a take-metadata file for each take, based on the electronic mark data;
- and
- a manager for managing the content data and the take-metadata file relating to the content data as separate files,
- wherein the electronic mark indicating a special content data is generated when the mark generator detects a peak of total value of luminance levels of each frame in a predetermined length period, or when the mark generator detects that total value of audio output levels of each frame exceeds a predetermined level within a predetermined length period.
2 more elements
A playback apparatus for playing back content data, comprising:
- a player for playing back data recorded on a recording medium;
- and
- a list generator for generating electronic-mark-list data based on a take-metadata file generated for each take and recorded on the recording medium together with the content data,
- wherein the electronic mark indicating a special content data is generated when the mark generator detects a peak of total value of luminance levels of each frame in a predetermined length period, or when the mark generator detects that total value of audio output levels of each frame exceeds a predetermined level within a predetermined length period.
1 more element
An editing apparatus comprising:
- an editor for editing electronic-mark-list data that is generated based on a take-metadata file generated for each take and recorded on a recording medium;
- and
- a display controller for displaying the electronic-mark-list data,
- wherein the electronic mark indicating a special content data is generated when the mark generator detects a peak of total value of luminance levels of each frame in a predetermined length period, or when the mark generator detects that total value of audio output levels of each frame exceeds a predetermined level within a predetermined length period.
1 more element
A content processing method comprising the steps of:
- generating electronic mark data relating to content data, utilizing a mark generator;
- generating a take-metadata file based on the electronic mark data generated for each take, utilizing a take-metadata generator;
- managing the content data and the take-metadata file relating to the content data as separate files, utilizing a manager unit;
- wherein the electronic mark indicating a special content data is generated when the mark generator detects a peak of total value of luminance levels of each frame in a predetermined length period, or when the mark generator detects that total value of audio output levels of each frame exceeds a predetermined level within a predetermined length period.
1 more element
A content processing method comprising the steps of:
- reading a take-metadata file generated for each take and recorded on a recording medium together with content data, utilizing a player;
- and
- generating electronic-mark-list data based on the take-metadata file, utilizing a list generator,
- wherein the electronic mark indicating a special content data is generated when the mark generator detects a peak of total value of luminance levels of each frame in a predetermined length period, or when the mark generator detects that total value of audio output levels of each frame exceeds a predetermined level within a predetermined length period.
1 more element
A computer readable medium for storing a computer program to execute a content processing method comprising the steps of:
- generating electronic mark data relating to content data;
- generating a take-metadata file based on the electronic mark data generated for each take;
- and
- managing the content data and the take-metadata file relating to the content data as separate files,
- wherein the electronic mark indicating a special content data is generated when the mark generator detects a peak of total value of luminance levels of each frame in a predetermined length period, or when the mark generator detects that total value of audio output levels of each frame exceeds a predetermined level within a predetermined length period.
2 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing a computer program to execute a content processing method comprising the steps of:
- reading a take-metadata file generated for each take and recorded on a recording medium together with content data;
- and generating electronic-mark-list data based on the take-metadata file, wherein the electronic mark indicating a special content data is generated when the mark generator detects a peak of total value of luminance levels of each frame in a predetermined length period, or when the mark generator detects that total value of audio output levels of each frame exceeds a predetermined level within a predetermined length period.
