DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a video editing apparatus for editing video and audio recorded as digital data.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when editing a video, a method of reproducing a material recorded by a video camera by a VTR, connecting the video in the order of broadcasting as a program or the like, and recording the video on a magnetic tape or the like is adopted. Had been. However, in recent years, non-linear editing, which allows video to be broadcast in a program or the like to be selected from a material regardless of a desired order, has made it easier to perform video editing work that was time-consuming due to time-series restrictions. ing.

[0005] Non-linear editing refers to handling video as digital data and editing it by software processing of a computer. Therefore, unlike conventional editing methods based on magnetic tape, video data is recorded on a randomly accessible recording medium such as a hard disk,
Since the video is read out and reproduced and the video to be broadcast is selected, it is not necessary to connect the video according to the order of shooting or broadcasting in a program or the like, and a series of video can be easily produced.

In the non-linear editing, the video can be inserted or deleted by changing the connection order of the video on the data, thereby facilitating the editing operation. further,
In non-linear editing, there is no image degradation due to dubbing.

At present, various systems and devices for realizing such non-linear editing are provided.

In a conventional video editing apparatus capable of nonlinear editing, an arbitrary one frame (still image) in each material is displayed for each material, and the contents of the frame are grasped by looking at the image of the frame. There are image-based ones that select a desired material and complete a program or the like.

[0007] In some cases, a clip name is given to each video as a material, and the clip name and its input date and time are displayed as a list in text, and a desired material is selected based on the display.

[0008]

In a conventional video editing apparatus for selecting a material from an image of an arbitrary frame, the frame displayed on the screen is one frame of the material image, and only that frame is used for the material. In some cases, it was not possible to comprehend the contents. The larger the amount of material, the stronger the tendency, but in that case, it is necessary to display other frames or play the material to understand the contents, which makes the work confusing and complicated There was an inconvenience.

In a conventional video editing apparatus that displays a list of clip names and the like, the operability does not always conform to the actual editing operation, and the editor desires the editing operation in a series of editing operations. When performing a step work, the operation for the work was not easy.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a video editing method and apparatus capable of easily grasping the contents of a material and providing functions required for each stage of editing with easy operability.

[0036]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the production of a program or the like, examples of operations after video shooting include a series of operations such as rush preview, roll division, and actual editing.

In this specification, a video taken continuously from when the video camera is switched on until it is switched off is referred to as a clip. For example, in order to produce one program, it is necessary to shoot various scenes. However, since the shooting order is determined by various factors such as the weather, it is determined on a recording medium such as a shooting tape for the convenience of shooting. Multiple clips in the same order. This order is
Usually, it is different from the order to be broadcast as a program. At this time, as a recording medium used for photographing, there is a recording medium that can be randomly accessed, such as a hard disk, in addition to a photographing tape, but the following description will be made using a photographing tape as an example.

First, video data of a plurality of clips shot on a shooting tape is recorded on a hard disk or the like of a video editing device. Then, as a rush preview, the contents of all clips recorded on a plurality of photographing tapes and the like are checked by confirming the contents, and then the work of dividing the rolls is performed. In a conventional VTR, in a roll dividing operation, many clips recorded on a plurality of photographing tapes are classified and arranged into, for example, those used in the same scene. This roll division is a complicated process because it is a step of editing, and it is often omitted because dubbing degrades the image quality. improves. In the non-linear editing, work such as organizing clips in roll division can be performed more easily than before, and there is no deterioration in image quality. Therefore, the present embodiment realizes easy and efficient workability in the non-linear editing by providing a means for easily performing the work including the role division.

The work of dividing the rolls is to classify the clips shot separately into rolls, which are sets of a plurality of clips, which are defined so that they can be easily arranged, and to give each roll a role name indicating the content. In addition, material scenes in which each roll is further classified into a plurality of contents are determined. Each material scene in the roll is provided with a material scene identification code, and if necessary, a clip name is provided to each clip. For example, for a portion including a voice of a person such as an interview, if it is set as an independent role to which a role name or the like is added so that the portion can be understood, subsequent editing becomes easy. The method of defining the role name and the clip name is arbitrary, and may be a symbol or a number, a short word, or a combination thereof.

In an interview scene or the like, there is a case where only necessary parts in a clip are connected and used for a program. In such a case, the clip may be further subdivided at a break in the conversation content.

When the roll division is completed, the actual editing work starts. In the editing work, a video is produced by selecting a video while identifying it by a role name, a material scene identification code, and a clip name, and connecting desired videos in a desired order while adding various video effects and the like.

Actually, the program video is finally completed by repeating all or part of the above-described series of operations many times.

A plurality of scenes are connected to the program video produced as described above, and each scene is formed by connecting a plurality of videos. In the present specification, a scene constituting a program is referred to as an edit scene, and each video constituting the edit scene is referred to as an edit cut. Furthermore, the names given to the respective edit scenes and the respective edit cuts will be referred to as edit scene names and edit cut names, respectively. The method of defining the edit scene name and the edit cut name is arbitrary, like the roll name and the clip name, and may be defined by a symbol or a number, may be defined by a word, or may be determined by a combination thereof. .

Therefore, each edit cut may be the above-described clip itself, or may be a necessary portion extracted from the clip. Further, all the edit cuts constituting a certain edit scene may be based on clips in one roll, or may be based on clips in a plurality of rolls.

The video editing apparatus of the present invention provides functions optimal for performing each of these operations, and facilitates the editing operation.
