Abstract

A method is provided for establishing an electronic picture file composed of pictures prerecorded on a plurality of video disks that are disposed in a multi-disk video player. The arrangement and content of the picture file is determined by an editing procedure that specifies a plurality of attributes, such as image category, picture order, time allotted for viewing each picture, text to accompany each picture, and the like. The task of specifying these attributes is made manageable by partitioning the editing procedure into several levels, each level standing alone and undertaken separately as a complete, but simplified, editing procedure that produces an edited picture file ready for viewing.
