Abstract

An object of the present invention is to perform speedy editing to produce images including desired features. A disc video monitor program 161 sets an essence mark, which is digital mark data indicating a feature of an image, in metadata related to video content data for displaying images. A video display program 172 controls the display of images based on the video content data. An essence-mark display program 171 controls the display of the temporal position of the image having the feature indicated by the digital mark data based on the metadata in which the essence mark, which is digital mark data, is set. The video-image editing apparatus of the present invention is applicable to a filming terminal device.

Claims

1. A video-image editing apparatus comprising:

mark setting means for setting, in metadata related to video content data for displaying an image including sound, digital mark data indicating a feature of the image;

video display control means for controlling the display of the image based on the video content data; and

digital-mark display control means for controlling the display of at least one of a temporal position of the image having the feature indicated by the digital mark data and the feature of the image based on the metadata in which the digital mark data is set.

2. The video-image editing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising configuration-table display control means for controlling the display of a configuration table based on configuration-table data related to the video content data.

3. A video-image editing method comprising:

a mark setting step of setting, in metadata related to video content data for displaying an image including sound, digital mark data indicating a feature of the image;

a video display control step of controlling the display of the image based on the video content data; and

a digital-mark display control step of controlling the display of at least one of a temporal position of the image having the feature indicated by the digital mark data and the feature of the image based on the metadata in which the digital mark data is set.

4. A recording medium in which a program for allowing a computer to execute video-image editing processing is recorded, the program comprising:

a mark setting step of setting, in metadata related to video content data for displaying an image including sound, digital mark data indicating a feature of the image;

a video display control step of controlling the display of the image based on the video content data; and

a digital-mark display control step of controlling the display of at least one of a temporal position of the image having the feature indicated by the digital mark data and the feature of the image based on the metadata in which the digital mark data is set.

5. A program for allowing a computer to execute:

a mark setting step of setting, in metadata related to video content data for displaying an image including sound, digital mark data indicating a feature of the image;

a video display control step of controlling the display of the image based on the video content data; and

a digital-mark display control step of controlling the display of at least one of a temporal position of the image having the feature indicated by the digital mark data and the feature of the image based on the metadata in which the digital mark data is set.
