Abstract

An editing device and editing method are provided for which it is possible for the operator to immediately recognize whether trim edit is possible or not at the stage of selecting the trim points, and eliminate unnecessary work. The editing device includes receiving means for receiving command input for trim editing; judging means for judging whether trim editing is possible or not based on the command input received by the receiving means; and notification means for outputting notification that editing is not possible when the judging means judges that editing is not possible.

Claims

1. An editing device having a function of trim editing for moving images and/or sound data, comprising:

receiving unit being configured to receive command input of trim point for trim editing;

judging unit being configured to judge whether trim editing is possible or not based on the command input received by the receiving unit; and

notification unit being configured to output notification that edit is not possible when the judging unit judges that trim editing is not possible.

2. The editing device according to claim 1, wherein

the notification unit outputs display data for carrying out a first display at a trim point when the judging unit judges that trim editing is possible, the trim point indicating a trim operation position, and

the notification unit outputs display data for carrying out a second display when the judging unit judges that trim editing is impossible, the second display being different from the first display at the trim point.

3. The editing device according to claim 2, wherein the first display is displayed in a predetermined color, and the second display is displayed in a color that is different from the predetermined color of the first display.

4. The editing device according to claim 1, wherein when the judging unit judges that trim editing is not possible, the notification unit outputs predetermined sound data.

5. The editing device according to claim 1, wherein the trim editing includes at least two trims among a normal trim that specifies an In point or an Out point, a slide trim, a slip trim, and a rolling trim.

6. The editing device according to claim 5, wherein the trim editing includes a ripple mode, and

a process of the trim editing varies depending on whether the ripple mode is on or off.

7. An editing method on an editing device having a function of trim editing for moving images and/or sound data, comprising the steps of:

receiving command input of trim point for trim editing;

judging whether trim editing is possible or not based on the received command input; and

outputting notification that editing is not possible when judging that trim editing is not possible.

8. An editing program product recorded on a computer-readable medium for allowing an editing device having a function of trim editing for moving images and/or sound data to execute the steps of:

receiving command input of trim point for trim editing;

judging whether trim editing is possible or not based on the received command input; and

outputting notification that editing is not possible when judging that trim editing is not possible.
