Abstract

Video and voice from a video device 5 are taken in a computer 1. The video and voice taken in the computer are converted into digital data, and become to be a file in which a video data and a voice data are associated with each other for every frame, and after a frame number for discriminating each frame is allocated thereto, the data are stored in a hard disk 12. A frame that will be a SHOW point is designated, and a number of this frame is acquired. Subsequently, an IN point frame and an OUT point frame are set, and frame numbers corresponding thereto are acquired. Video and voice between the IN point and the OUT point are reproduced, and a text is input while the voice is heard. After completion of the input, a time code of the IN point and a time code of the OUT point are calculated based on a frame number of the SHOW point, a frame number of the IN point and a frame number of the OUT point, and a set of the time code of the IN point, the time code of the OUT point and a text data are stored as a data.

Claims

1. A caption subject matter creating system comprising:

a memory for storing a digital data of an image and video;

a means for converting an image and voice recorded in a video tape into a digital data and storing said digital data in said memory, and allocating frame numbers to each of frames;

a display for displaying an image based on said digital data stored in said memory;

a voice outputting means for outputting voice based on said digital data stored in said memory;

a means for setting a frame that will be a beginning frame of a time code out of said frames, and storing a frame number of said frame;

a means for setting a starting frame that will be a starting point of a frame in which voice is to be textured and a terminal frame that will be a terminal point, and storing a frame number of said set starting frame and a frame number of said terminal number;

a means for displaying and outputting video and voice of a frame between said frame number of said starting frame and said frame number of said terminal frame on said display and said voice outputting means;

a means for, based on voice output from said voice outputting means, inputting a text data corresponding to said voice;

a calculator for calculating a time code of said starting frame based on said frame number of said starting frame and said frame number of said beginning frame;

a calculator for calculating a time code of said terminal frame based on said frame number of said terminal frame and said frame number of said beginning frame; and

a memory for storing said input text data, said time code of said starting frame and said time code of said terminal frame in association with each other.

2. A caption subject matter creating system according to claim 1, wherein a letter inputting means is a key board.

3. A caption subject matter creating system according to claim 1, wherein a letter inputting means is a voice recognition system.

4. A caption subject matter creating system according to claim 1, further comprising a repeat means for repeatedly displaying and outputting video and voice of a frame between said frame number of said starting frame and said frame number of said terminal frame on said display and said voice outputting means.

5. A caption subject matter creating system according to claim 1, further comprising a preview means for previewing a textured letter on video of a corresponding frame.

6. A caption subject matter creating system comprising:

a memory for storing a digital data of an image and video;

a means for converting an image and voice recorded in a video tape into a digital data and storing said digital data in said memory, and allocating frame numbers to each of frames;

a display for displaying an image based on said digital data stored in said memory;

a voice outputting means for outputting voice based on said digital data stored in said memory;

a means for setting a frame that will be a beginning frame of a time code out of said frames, and storing a frame number of said frame;

a means for setting a starting frame that will be a starting point of a frame in which voice is to be textured and a terminal frame that will be a terminal point, and storing a frame number of said set starting frame and a frame number of said terminal number;

a means for displaying and outputting video and voice of a frame between said frame number of said starting frame and said frame number of said terminal frame on said display and said voice outputting means;

a means for, based on voice output from said voice outputting means, inputting a text data corresponding to said voice;

a calculator for calculating a time code of said starting frame based on said frame number of said starting frame and said frame number of said beginning frame;

a calculator for calculating a time code of said terminal frame based on said frame number of said terminal frame and said frame number of said beginning frame;

a memory for storing said input text data, said time code of said starting frame and said time code of said terminal frame in association with each other;

a repeat means for repeatedly displaying and outputting video and voice of a frame between said frame number of said starting frame and said frame number of said terminal frame on said display and said voice outputting means; and

a preview means for previewing a textured letter on video of a corresponding frame.

7. A caption subject creating method for creating a text data synchronized with video by means of a computer, comprising steps of:

converting an image and voice recorded in a video tape into a digital data, allocating frame numbers to every frame of each video, and storing said digital data;

reproducing an image and voice based on said stored data;

setting a frame that will be a beginning frame of a time code based on said reproduced image and voice, and storing a frame number of said frame;

setting a starting frame that will be a starting point of a frame in which voice is to be textured and a terminal frame that will be a terminal point, and storing a frame number of said set starting frame and a frame number of said terminal number;

reproducing video and voice of a frame between said frame number of said starting frame and said frame number of said terminal frame;

inputting a text data corresponding to said reproduced voice;

calculating a time code of said starting frame based on said frame number of said starting frame and said frame number of said beginning frame;

calculating a time code of said terminal frame based on said frame number of said terminal frame and said frame number of said beginning frame; and

storing said input text data, said time code of said starting frame and said time code of said terminal frame in association with each other.

8. A caption subject creating method according to claim 7, further comprising a step of repeatedly reproducing video and voice of a frame between said frame number of said starting frame and said frame number of said terminal frame on a display and a voice outputting means.

9. A storage medium in which a caption subject creating program for creating a text data synchronized with video by means of a computer is stored,

wherein said caption subject creating program:

takes an image and voice recorded in a video tape in said computer, converts them into a digital data, and allocates frame numbers to every frame of each video, stores said data in said computer, and reproduces an image and voice based on said stored data;

stores frame numbers of a beginning frame of a time code, a starting frame that will be a starting point of a frame in which voice is to be textured, and a terminal frame that will be a terminal point in said computer in response to a frame setting signal, and reproduces video and voice of a frame between said frame number of said starting frame and said frame number of said terminal frame;

makes said computer calculate a time code of said starting frame based on said frame number of said starting frame and said frame number of said beginning frame, and calculate a time code of said terminal frame based on said frame number of said terminal frame and said frame number of said beginning frame; and
