Abstract
A processing apparatus that generates a movie in which hearing states of sounds from sound sources are linked to a looking state of an image during zoom image capturing. Sounds are collected by sound collection devices. A video image is captured by an image capturing device. Position information of a sound source with respect to the image capturing device is obtained. A control unit determines an estimated standing position at which a looking state becomes equivalent to a captured image when an image capturing field angle is changed, and determines a direction and volume in synthesizing the sounds based on the estimated standing position. The control unit determines the direction coincident with a direction of the sound source viewed from the estimated standing position, and determines the volume so as to increase as a distance from the estimated standing position to the sound source decreases.
