1. An image processing apparatus having a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory which stores instructions for the CPU, the image processing apparatus comprising:
a receiving unit configured to receive an instruction from a user; a recording unit configured to record a moving image file including moving image data obtained by an imaging unit on a recording medium, wherein the recording unit has a first recording mode and a second recording mode, wherein, in the first recording mode, the recording unit automatically records the moving image data for a predetermined time period on the recording medium in accordance with a single recording instruction from the user received by the receiving unit, wherein, in the first recording mode, the recording unit records the moving image data for the predetermined time period as one chapter, and connects the moving image data of the chapter automatically recorded on the recording medium in accordance with the single recording instruction from the user to a predetermined moving image file which has been recorded in the first recording mode on the recording medium such that the predetermined moving image file has a plurality of chapters recorded in accordance with a plurality of recording instructions by the user, wherein, in the first recording mode, the recording unit records control information indicating a connection position of the plurality of chapters in the predetermined moving image file into the predetermined moving image file, and wherein, in the second recording mode, the recording unit starts recording the moving image data in response to a recording instruction from the user and stops recording the moving image data in response to a recording stop instruction from the user; a selection unit configured to select a target moving image file to be edited from a plurality of moving image files recorded on the recording medium; a specifying unit configured to specify an editing position in moving image data contained in the selected target moving image file, wherein the specifying unit changes the editing position according to a predetermined instruction for changing the editing position from a user, wherein the specifying unit discriminates whether the chapter is included in the target moving image file and determines an operation of changing the editing position by the predetermined instruction in accordance with a result of the discrimination, and wherein the specifying unit changes the editing position to any of positions corresponding to connection positions of the plurality of chapters in the target moving image file according to the predetermined instruction if it is discriminated that the chapter is included in the target moving image file, and changes the editing position while using a predetermined number of frames as a unit according to the predetermined instruction if it is not discriminated that the chapter is included in the target moving image file; and a processing unit configured to perform editing processing on the target moving image file according to the editing position specified by the specifying unit, wherein at least one of the receiving unit, the recording unit, the selection unit, the specifying unit, and the processing unit is implemented by the CPU. |
