METHOD FOR INDEX GENERATION, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM WITH PROGRAM STORED THEREIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate indexes for temporally associating a scenario with an edited video with small workloads after completion of the video for effectively utilizing a scenario document at the time of planing in association with the edited video. SOLUTION: An actual time length of the whole video is acquired from the edited video, predicted time lengths at each scene, and the whole video from the scenario are calculated, a ratio between the actual time length of the whole edited video and the predictive time length of the whole video calculated from the scenario is acquired, the predictive time lengths at each scene calculated from the scenario are corrected by using the ratio, and the indexes describing prediction start times, prediction end times and the predictive time lengths are generated at each scene.
