1. An image data processing method for processing image data forming a video material on an image data processing device, said image data processing method comprising:
- obtaining image data at a plurality of points in time from said video material;
generating image data for display, on a display device, from the obtained image data in a grouped state in a story board display area corresponding to said video material, said generated image data including a plurality of clip image data corresponding to a video clip which is a portion of the video material, said plurality of clip image data including a first image from the video material corresponding to a start time of the video clip and a second image from the video material corresponding to an end time of the video clip, and said generating includes generating said first and second image for being simultaneously displayed in the story board display area; and
generating a time line window for display on the display device that indicates a duration time of the video clip outside the story board display area, the time line window being interlocked with an operation of editing said video material such that the plurality of clip image data can be edited by editing the time line window, wherein the length of the video clip can be varied by shifting the beginning or end of the video clip in the time line window and the number of the plurality of clip image data can be varied by changing the length of the video clip in the time line window.
