CONTENT EDITING APPARATUS AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology of properly extracting a content of a partial interval desired by an editor by taking into account other information such as audio in addition to only a cut-point. SOLUTION: A flowchart for a topic correction processing in the second embodiment includes the steps of: acquiring predesignated designation start and designation end times denoting a time interval being an extraction object of selected contents; acquiring information denoting a cut-point of a video image in the contents; deviating a temporal position temporally after the designated start time and corresponding to the cut-point closest to the designated start time so that the strength of sound is a predetermined threshold or below when the strength of the sound corresponding to the temporal position is greater than the predetermined threshold; using the deviated temporal position for a start time of the extracted partial interval contents; deviating a temporal position temporally before the designated end time and corresponding to the cut-point closest to the designated end time so that the strength of sound is a predetermined threshold or below when the strength of the sound corresponding to the temporal position is greater than the predetermined threshold; and using the deviated temporal position for an end time of the extracted partial interval contents.
