Abstract

There is provided an editing apparatus, including a route information generation section which generates route information from an imaging start point up to an imaging end point of a moving image, and a control information generation section which generates control information for controlling a reproduction speed of the moving image based on the route information.

Claims

1. An editing apparatus, comprising:

a route information generation section which generates route information from an imaging start point up to an imaging end point of a moving image; and

a control information generation section which generates control information for controlling a reproduction speed of the moving image based on the route information.

2. The editing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the route information further includes an imaging point display so as to move in accordance with an imaging time of the moving image, and

wherein the route information generation section displays the imaging point display superimposed on the route information.

3. The editing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a speed information generation section which generates speed information corresponding to an imaging time in accordance with speed information showing a movement speed at a time of imaging of the moving image, and causes the generated speed information to be superimposed on the moving image.

4. The editing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein, at a time when a variable speed reproduction section reproduced with a different reproduction speed is set, the route information generation section displays the variable speed reproduction section in the route information.

5. The editing apparatus according to claim 4,

wherein the route information generation section generates a variable speed point display showing respective positions at a start position and an end position of the variable speed reproduction section.

6. The editing apparatus according to claim 5,

wherein the variable speed point display is displayed with a color different to a color of other point displays displayed in the route information.

7. The editing apparatus according to claim 4,

wherein a color displaying the variable speed reproduction section is set in accordance with a reproduction speed in the variable speed reproduction section.

8. The editing apparatus according to claim 4,

wherein the control information generation section generates control information for causing the variable speed reproduction section to move in accordance with an operation for the variable speed reproduction section.

9. The editing apparatus according to claim 5,

wherein the control information generation section generates control information for causing the variable speed reproduction section to enlarge or reduce in accordance with an operation for the variable speed point display displayed at a start position and an end position of the variable speed reproduction section.

10. The editing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the control information generation section generates control information for controlling a reproduction speed of the moving image in accordance with an operation for a seek bar composed of a timeline showing an entire reproduction time of the moving image and a slider showing a reproduction position on the timeline.

11. The editing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

an image reproduction section which reproduces a moving image,

wherein the image reproduction section sets, to a reproduction target, a moving image in which a portion captured with a usual frame rate and a portion captured with a frame rate higher than a usual frame rate are mixed.

12. A reproduction apparatus, comprising:

a route information generation section which generates route information from an imaging start point up to an imaging end point of a moving image, and an imaging point display displayed superimposed on the route information moving in accordance with an imaging time of the moving image,

wherein, when a moving image corresponding to a variable speed reproduction section displayed in the route information is reproduced, the route information generation section changes and generates a movement speed of the imaging point display in accordance with a reproduction speed of a changed moving image.

13. An editing method, comprising:

generating route information from an imaging start point up to an imaging end point of a moving image; and

generating control information for controlling a reproduction speed of the moving image based on the route information.

14. A reproduction method, comprising:

reproducing a moving image;

generating route information from an imaging start point up to an imaging end point of the moving image, and an imaging point display displayed superimposed on the route information moving in accordance with an imaging time of the moving image; and

changing and generating, when a moving image corresponding to a variable speed reproduction section displayed in the route information is reproduced, a movement speed of the imaging point display in accordance with a reproduction speed of a changed moving image.

15. A program for causing a computer to execute an editing process comprising:

generating route information from an imaging start point up to an imaging end point of a moving image; and

generating control information for controlling a reproduction speed of the moving image based on the route information.

16. A program for causing a computer to execute a reproduction process comprising:

reproducing a moving image;

generating route information from an imaging start point up to an imaging end point of the moving image, and an imaging point display displayed superimposed on the route information moving in accordance with an imaging time of the moving image; and

changing and generating, when a moving image corresponding to a variable speed reproduction section displayed in the route information is reproduced, a movement speed of the imaging point display in accordance with a reproduction speed of a changed moving image.
