Abstract
A video composition apparatus and method select segments from image source material stored on at least one storage medium and denote serially connected sequences of the segments to thereby form a program sequence. The source material, as it is being stored on the storage medium, has associated with each frame an internal time code. For each storage medium, which in the illustrated embodiment is a video tape recorder, the internal time codes are written in sequential order so that the difference in time codes between two frames corresponds to the difference in time or distance between the two frames on the video tape. When a plurality of different tape recorders record the same frame, the same internal time code is associated with the frame on each video tape recorder.
