A video composition method selects segments from image source material stored on at least one storage medium and denotes serially connected sequences of the segments to thereby form a program sequence. The method employs pictorial labels associated with each segment for ease of manipulating the segments to form the program sequence. The labels are displayed on an ordered spatial array of display monitors. The composition control function is highly user interactive and responds to user commands for displaying, selectively, segments of the source material on a display monitor. The method identifies each segment by a pictorial image segment label and can assemble a plurality of labels into a label sequence. The method operates upon a sequentially related plurality of labels as a single label, the single label identifying a plurality of segments.
