The video signals are supplied to an A/D converter 12 and a memory controlling circuit 14 of a title inserting circuit 24, and the video signals converted into digital by control of the circuit 14 are stored in a frame memory 13. When the object 1 is photographed, and the video signals are recorded in a picture recording machine 25, the title picture is read out from the memory 13, D/A converted, and video signals of the title picture 2 are inserted and edited in the video signals of the object 1 through a switch 28 and recorded in the picture recording machine 25.
