Description

  The present invention relates to a video editing agency system that edits video information on an event in a user's daily life or a development process in a company on behalf of the user and provides the user with the video information.

  With the widespread use of digital video cameras, it has become popular in general households to capture event scenes and record them in daily life. Some people edit scenes shot using a personal computer as video works, and the use of these video works is expected to be diverse in the future.

  However, there are few people who have production know-how such as scenario creation, image editing, narration, subtitle super, etc. for editing as a video work, and without burdening the user with video editing based on the user's wishes A means that can be easily performed is desired.

  Further, as an example of a system relating to video editing, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, “original moving image providing method and system and receiving device”, image data photographed by a user and predetermined moving image data are used. And a system for synthesizing images based on the synthesis conditions of the user.

  It is necessary to specify the composition position at the window for requesting image composition, and it is easy to specify the composition condition if the image data taken by the user is several still images. When the image data is a video taken over a long period of time, it is not easy for the user to specify the synthesis position of the synthesized image data and moving image data. When requesting synthesis or the like, means for reducing the preparation work is required.

  (9) The event field information selected in the process of the procedure (3), the scenario information selected in the process of the procedure (4), and the desired shooting specification time input in the process of the procedure (5) The total desired shooting time totaled, the music information selected in the process of the procedure (6), the request reception number added in the process of the procedure (7), the user code added in the process of the procedure (8), Edit request information is created and registered in the edit request table 26 based on the editing status in which “video editing not started” is set.

  (10) Event field information selected in step (3), scenario information selected in step (4), list of scenario details acquired in step (4), and its scene image Edit request details information is created and edited from the data, the desired shooting details time, the changed narration content, the changed subtitle content entered in the procedure (5), and the request reception number added in the procedure (7). Register in the request details table 27.

  The editing means 32 searches the database 20 based on the search condition requested from the editor terminal device 11, transmits a list of corresponding edit request information to the editor terminal device 11, and displays it on the editor terminal device. The editing request information selected by the editor from the list and the list of scenario details information belonging to the editing request information are displayed on the editor terminal device 11 and the video information belonging to the selected editing request information is displayed. Playback and transmission to the editor terminal device 11, accepting designation of an arbitrary extraction range in the video information being played displayed on the editor terminal device 11 and associated with each scenario detail information by the editor, The edited video information is created by adding the scene number of the scenario detail information corresponding to each accepted extraction range, and the created edited video information is added to the scene. To register to edit video files 26b by connecting to the ascending order of the issue.

  Further, the editing means 32 and the automatic editing means 33 to be described later are the actual shooting total obtained by totaling the actual shooting details time and the actual shooting details time in the extraction range of the video information associated with the scenario details information for the editing request information. The time is calculated and displayed on the editor terminal device 11, and the actual photographing total time is added to the editing request information, and the actual photographing detailed time is added to the editing request detailed information.

The processing procedure of the editing unit 32 will be described in detail below.
(1) In response to the video editing request signal from the editor terminal device 11, the editing request table 26 is searched, and the editing request information in which “video editing not started” is set as the editing status is acquired. A video editing / editing request information selection screen in which the list of editing request information is edited is transmitted to the requested editor terminal device 11.

  (2) Receiving the selection of the edit request information from the editor terminal device 11, the scenario detail table 24 is searched from the event field name and the scenario code set in the selected edit request information, and the corresponding scenario details The information is acquired, the scene image data file 24a is searched from the scene image data code set in the acquired scenario details information, the corresponding scene image data is acquired, the selected edit request information, and the acquired scenario An edit request registration / reproduction start confirmation screen in which the list of detailed information and the scenario image is edited is transmitted to the editor terminal device 1 that requested it.

  (3) Upon receipt of the confirmation OK selection from the editor terminal device 11, the video file 26a is searched from the request acceptance number set in the edit request information selected in the process (2), and the corresponding. The video information is acquired, the acquired video information is reproduced, and the edit request registration / scene image data and extraction range designation screen are transmitted to the requested editor terminal device 1.

  (4) The specification of the extraction range of the scene image data and the video information from the editor terminal device 11 is received, and the request reception number set in the edit request information selected in the process (2) is specified. From the event field name, scene code, and breakdown code set in the scenario detail information corresponding to the scene image data, the edit request detail table 27 is searched to obtain the corresponding edit request detail information, and the acquired edit request detail is acquired. The edit request detail table 27 is updated by adding the extraction start relative time and the extraction end relative time when the extraction range is designated to the information.

  (5) From the request reception number set in the edit request information selected in the process of step (2) and the event field name and scenario code set in the scenario detail information corresponding to the specified scenario image, The edit request details table 27 is searched to obtain the corresponding edit request details information, and the video file 26a is searched from the request reception number set in the edit request information selected in the process (2). The corresponding video information range is sequentially extracted within the range of the extraction start relative time and the extraction end relative time set in the acquired edit request details information, and the shooting start relative time and shooting end relative time at the time of extraction are measured. The extracted video information is used as editing video information, and the request reception number set in the editing request information selected in the process (2) is added to the editing video file 26b. Register.

  (6) From the shooting start relative time and shooting end relative time measured in step (5) with respect to the edit request detailed information acquired in step (5), and the shooting start relative time and shooting end relative time. The edit request detail table 27 is updated by adding the calculated actual photographing detail time.

  (7) “Music unedited” is set in the editing status set in the edit request information selected in the process of step (2), and the actual shooting specification time calculated in the process of step (6) is set as the edit request information.
