That is, editing is performed by the operator selecting a necessary M-icon from the M-icons displayed in the material area on the operation screen.

The M-icon of the cut image required for the editing is displayed in the material area. However, the cut image required for editing is not limited to a single material image, which is a series of moving images, and may be selected from a plurality of material images. Therefore, since the M-icons of the cut images included in the plurality of material images are displayed in the material area, the number of M-icons of the cut image may be extremely large in the material area. For this reason, the M-icon of the required cut image must be searched from a very large number of M-icons.
It takes time to make a selection and it is easy to make mistakes. Also, since the number of M-icons of cut images is large and the number of M-icons of cut images displayed on the screen is limited, the M-icons of all cut images cannot be displayed on the screen, It has to be heavily used, and extra operation work increases. Also, since multiple material images are displayed in one material area, when searching for the M-icon of the cut image to be selected, the material images of each group containing the cut image are searched. There was a problem that it was difficult to select from information.

An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and to use a plurality of material images which are a series of moving images including cut images used in the editing, thereby increasing the number of cut images. Even in this case, the content of the required material image can be easily confirmed without error, and the selection of the cut image included in the material image is simplified.

[0014]

In order to achieve the above object, a moving image editing method according to the present invention displays an image in a material area when an operator selects a material image which is a series of moving images required for editing. When the M-icon of the cut image to be displayed is displayed, a window for displaying each material image is provided, and the M-icon of the cut image is displayed for each material image.

Therefore, even if a plurality of material images are displayed, the M-icon of the cut image required for editing can be searched from the window, so that it can be easily selected. Even if multiple material images are selected, the displayed window is a multi-layer window displayed at the same position,
Each window was tagged. In other words, only the M-icon of the cut image of the window indicated by the selected tag is displayed on the screen, and if you want to select another material image, select the tag attached to the window,
The displayed window is switched.

Further, the M-icon of the material image is displayed on the tag, and the displayed M-icon can be reproduced as a moving image, so that the M-icon of the material image displayed on the tag is displayed.
Just by looking at the icons, you can now select the required cut image for editing.

That is, in the operation screen display method of the present invention, a GUI (Gra) is displayed on an operation screen in which a plurality of material image information composed of moving images composed of a plurality of frame images is displayed on a display device.
A moving image editing apparatus that edits a moving image by performing a screen operation, wherein a moving image composed of a set of a plurality of frame images is divided into cut images, and each cut image is divided for each divided cut image. Create a representative image, display the created representative images on an operation screen, and edit a moving image by selecting a representative image required for editing from the displayed representative images. In the method, in order to select the representative image required for editing,
The representative image displayed on the operation screen is displayed on a different window for each material image information.

Still another operation screen display method according to the present invention provides a method for displaying at least one window different for each material image information.
One or more windows are displayed in an overlapping manner, and the window superimposed on the lower side is not displayed on the operation screen.

Further, in the operation screen display method according to the present invention, a tag is attached to a different window for each material image information, and a window to which the selected tag is attached is displayed on the upper surface of the operation screen by selecting a tag. It is made to be done.

Further, in another operation screen display method of the present invention, a representative image representing the material image information is displayed in a part of a tag.

Further, in another operation screen display method according to the present invention, the representative image representing the material image information displayed in a part of the tag is reproduced in chronological order in the representative image displayed in the material image information window. It can be displayed.

Still another method of displaying an operation screen according to the present invention is that a moving image constituting the material image information is reproduced and displayed on a representative image portion representing the material image information displayed on a part of the tag. It is made possible.
