Three-dimensional image special effect apparatus.

摘要

A three-dimensional image special effect apparatus wherein operation for setting a parameter can be performed simply and a special image can be moved smoothly to a distance only by a single manual operation of a track ball (21) or a rotary ring (22) is disclosed. A special image produced by an image special effect processing section (15) is manually operated in first and second three-dimensional directions (X, Y) by a track ball (21) and in a third three-dimensional direction (Z) by a rotary ring (22) disposed along an outer periphery of the track ball (21). A condition in which a parameter for determining a condition of the special image can be set is established and a setting menu for setting a parameter which determines a condition of the special image is produced by a CPU (11). Under the control of the CPU (11), a cursor for designating a parameter on the setting menu is operated by way of the track ball (21), and a value of the parameter is set by way of the rotary ring (22).
