1. A video processing system comprising:

  • a viewing screen;

    manually operable control means for generating address signals representing the addresses of at least four reference points defining the corners of a polygon notionally projected on said screen;

    means for effecting selective adjustment of said polygon address signals to produce manipulated address signals defining the corners of said polygon as projected on said screen after a movement of said polygon in three dimensional space;

    transformer means responsive to said manipulated address signals for transforming the address of video frames to produce respective manipulated video frames having a projected picture which has undergone the same movement in three dimensional space as said polygon;

    means for supplying a first sequence of input frames to said transformer means to produce a sequence of manipulated frames, wherein said polygon address signals are individually defined for each of said input frames;

    means for storing a sequence of said manipulated frames;

    means for storing a second sequence of input video frames; and

    means for keying stored manipulated frames over respective second input frames to produce a sequence of output frames.
