Abstract

An edit list creating apparatus that can substantially improve the work efficiency in creating an edit list is disclosed. An edit list creating apparatus that can create an edit list and that is functional during the creation of the edit list for setting the list in such a way that desired video special-effect processing is executed by displaying a mark corresponding to the video special-effect processing at a desired position of a predetermined site of the edit list, includes a display controller for displaying the mark with the predetermined display color that differs for each type of the video special-effect processing. In addition, an edit list creating apparatus that can create an edit list and that is functional during the creation of the edit list for setting the list in such a way that desired video special-effect processing is executed by displaying a mark corresponding to the video special-effect processing at a desired position of a predetermined site of the edit list, includes a display controller for displaying a mark corresponding to the video special-effect processing for which the predetermined function mode is set on, with a predetermined alarm color different from normal display colors.

Claims

1. An edit list creating apparatus capable of creating an edit list that defines edit contents used to join a plurality of registered image materials together in order to obtain desired edited videos and of, at the time of creating of the edit list, setting the list in such a way that desired video special-effect processing is executed by displaying a mark corresponding to the video special-effect processing at a desired position of a predetermined site of said edit list, said edit list creating apparatus comprising:

display means for displaying a predetermined edit list creating screen for creating said edit list; and

display control means for having said display means display said mark with a predetermined display color except for the background of said mark that differs for each type of said video special-effect processing.

2. The edit list creating apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

said display colors for said marks differing for each type of said video special-effect processing are of the same type of color.

3. The edit list creating apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

said display control means has said display means display said mark corresponding to said video special-effect processing for which a predetermined function mode is set on, in said predetermined site of said edit list with a predetermined alarm color different from said display color.

4. The edit list creating apparatus according to claim 3, wherein

said predetermined function mode comprises a key mode for displaying videos based on two said image materials in such a way as to overlap each other.

5. An edit list creating apparatus capable of creating an edit list that defines edit contents used to join a plurality of registered image materials together to obtain desired edited videos and of, at the time of creating the edit list, setting the list in such a way that desired video special-effect processing is executed by displaying a mark corresponding to the video special-effect processing at a desired position of a predetermined site of said edit list, said edit list creating apparatus comprising:

display means for displaying a predetermined edit list creating screen for creating said edit list; and

display control means for having said display means display said mark corresponding to said video special-effect processing for which a predetermined function mode is set on, with a predetermined alarm color different from normal display colors.

6. The edit list creating apparatus according to claim 5, wherein

said predetermined function mode comprises a key mode for displaying videos based on two said image materials in such a way as to overlap each other.
