The relation between the edit resultant clip and the clip to be edited is managed with the hierarchical structure by managing means, so that the complicate editing works can be easily performed if the editing works are performed based on the information stored in the managing means.

Editing system, editing method, clip management device, and clip management method

An editing system for producing a resultant clip from a plurality of clips. Information indicating relations between the clips is stored and managed in a database according to a hierarchical structure. The content of a first resultant clip can be updated at any time, and the system automatically updates all other resultant clips that are produced from the first resultant clip.

The transform arithmetic operations by spatial image transform matrixes and perspective transform matrixes to a screen surface thereon are executed on source video signal representing two-dimensional image so as to generate left-eye and right-eye video signals. It is possible to realize the stereoscopic image generation apparatus capable of setting the visual difference between a left eye and a right eye easily.
