Moving Picture Timeline Text Placement for Flexible Editing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional moving picture editing systems require specialized knowledge and techniques, limiting user freedom and increasing the time and effort required for editing, especially when creating content for foreign workers who may not be familiar with Japanese terminology.
Innovation Solution
A moving picture editing system that allows users to place text objects and objects at arbitrary positions in a timeline display area, with support for multi-language translation and voice synthesis, enabling easy and flexible editing of moving pictures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional moving picture editing software is used, then editing functionality is provided, but specialized knowledge and techniques are required, increasing operation difficulty
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an on-screen display image as an intermediary between the editing interface and the final output. This on-screen display image serves as a visual mediator that shows users exactly how text objects will appear on the moving picture, eliminating the need for specialized knowledge by providing intuitive visual feedback during the editing process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of the final display appearance in the form of an on-screen display image that mirrors the actual output. This copy allows users to preview and adjust text object positions, sizes, and appearances before finalizing the edit, reducing operation difficulty by providing a risk-free trial environment
2Adaptability or versatility
If text objects are placed in a timeline display area, then editing flexibility is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the timeline display area serve multiple functions: it acts as both the traditional timeline for video editing and as a placement area for text objects with on-screen display coordinates. This multi-functional design allows text positioning without requiring separate complex coordinate systems, achieving versatility while managing system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the text object placement functionality with the existing timeline display area. By combining these functions into a single interface rather than creating separate systems, the patent achieves high editing flexibility while avoiding the complexity increase that would result from maintaining separate placement mechanisms
3Ease of operation
If automatic content generation using predetermined rules is used, then ease of operation is improved, but editing freedom is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic system where text objects can be freely positioned and sized within the timeline display area, and the on-screen display image dynamically updates to reflect these changes. This dynamic approach replaces static predetermined rules with flexible, real-time adjustable parameters, providing both ease of operation and editing freedom

AI summary
There is provided a moving picture editing system capable of greatly improving the workability and convenience of moving picture editing and performing moving picture editing with a high degree of freedom. The present invention includes an administrator terminal 30 and a moving picture editing server 10. The moving picture editing server 10 includes: a first editing screen display unit 111 that causes the administrator terminal 30 to display a first moving picture editing screen including at least a moving picture playback area 131 for playing back a moving picture and a timeline display area 132; a text object placement unit 112 that places a first text object 135 in the timeline display area 132 and accepts text data representing a character string input to the first text object 135; and a first on-screen text display unit 113 that superimposes and displays a character string as a first on-screen text on a moving picture at a playback time of the moving picture corresponding to a position of the first text object 135 placed in the timeline display area 132 on the basis of the text data input to the first text object 135.
