Edit Effect Control Unit for Video Playback Interval Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for applying multiple edit effects to motion pictures are cumbersome, requiring repeated selection and designation of edit effects, which complicates the editing process and limits the effective use of available edit effects, especially for beginners.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that includes a control unit for combining and applying multiple edit effects to a specified interval during image playback, with a display control unit showing a selection screen and timeline icons to simplify the process, and a management unit for recording and managing edit information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple edit effects are applied by repeating selection and designation operations, then edit effects can be combined to create synergetic effects, but the operation becomes troublesome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically selecting and applying edit effects based on pre-defined rules or templates before the user needs to manually configure each effect. The control unit can autonomously determine which edit effects to apply to which intervals, eliminating the need for repeated manual selection and designation operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the edit effect application process to occur automatically without requiring extensive manual intervention. The control unit can autonomously manage the selection and application of multiple edit effects, with the user only needing to provide high-level instructions or select from pre-configured options.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple edit effects are manually selected and designated, then specific edit intervals can be controlled, but beginners have difficulty finding synergetic effects
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by providing real-time information about which edit effects have been applied, to which intervals, and what the current state of the edit project is. This feedback mechanism helps beginners understand the impact of their edits and discover synergetic effects through guided exploration rather than trial and error.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary layer in the form of a control unit that mediates between the user's high-level edit intentions and the low-level detailed configuration of multiple edit effects. This intermediary automatically handles the complex coordination of multiple effects, making it accessible to beginners while maintaining precise control over edit intervals.
3Adaptability or versatility
If enough edit effect types are available, then creative possibilities increase, but they often fail to be sufficiently used due to operational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the edit effect application process into distinct, manageable components. Each edit effect is independently selectable and applicable to specific intervals, allowing the system to handle a large variety of edit effect types through modular composition rather than requiring a monolithic complex operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit serves multiple functions: it manages selection of edit effects, determines application intervals, coordinates synergetic effects, and provides user guidance. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate operations and tools, increasing productivity while maintaining access to diverse edit effect types.

AI summary
There is provided an information processing apparatus including a control unit controlling playback of an image of an edit target, and a generation unit generating edit information including information indicating multiple edit effects applied in combination with the image of an edit interval and information indicating the edit interval, where, in a playback interval of the image, the edit interval is an interval from a playback position at a time an instruction is given during the playback of the image to a position a predetermined time after the playback position.
