First Claim
Patent Images
1. Data processing apparatus, comprising input devices, a storage device, a processing device and output devices;
- wherein said storage device is configured to receive data representing an edit decision list;
said edit decision list has edit decisions, including a first and a last of said edit decisions, each comprising edit data and frame range data;
an input device applies input data to said processing device in response to user manipulations specifying changes to said edit data; and
said processing device is configured to identify time references associated with the identified edit data, to recalculate said frame range data which said identified edit data is applicable to in response to said time references associated therewith, and to write said recalculated frame range data to said storage device to integrate said recalculated frame range data within the boundaries delimited by said first and last edit decisions.

Abstract
A processing system for processing data representing edit decision lists having edit decisions with edit data, representing the type of edit to take place, and frame range data, representing the frames over which the edit is to take place. An input device applies input data to the processing system in response to user manipulations specifying changes in the edit data. The processing device is configured to identify an associated function of the identified edit data, calculate modifications to the range data in response to the identified function and write the modified range data to storage.

2. In a computer system having a graphical user interface including a display and a user interface selection device, a method of processing data representing an edit decision list equipped with edit decisions, including a first and a last of said edit decisions, wherein
said edit decision list is displayed to a user as lines of EDL text having edit data and frame range data; -
a user identifies time references associated with the identified edit data and modifies edit data by operation of said selection device; and
in response to machine-executable instructions, frame range data is recalculated in response to said manual modification of said edit data to integrate said recalculated frame range data within the boundaries determined by said first and last edit decisions.

3. A method of processing data representing an edit decision list, wherein said edit decision list has edit decisions, a first and a last of said edit decisions, each comprising edit data and frame range data, said method comprising the steps of
loading an edit decision list into addressable memory locations; -
receiving input data in response to user manipulations of an input device identifying edit data and a modification to said edit data;
identifying time references associated with the identified edit data;
recalculating said frame range data which said identified edit data is applicable to in terms of said time references associated therewith and said user specified modification; and
writing said modified frame range data to an addressable storage location to integrate said recalculated frame range data within the boundaries delimited by said first and last edit decisions. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions executable by a computer such that said computer performs the steps of:
-
loading an edit decision list equipped with edit decisions, including a first and a last of said edit decisions, each comprising edit data and frame range data into addressable memory locations;
receiving input data in response to user manipulations of an input device identifying edit data and modifications to said edit data;
identifying an associated function of the identified edit data;
recalculating said frame range data which said identified edit data is applicable to in terms of said time references associated therewith and said user specified modification; and
writing said modified range data to an addressable storage location to integrate said recalculation frame range data within the boundaries determined by said first and last edit decision. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
