Abstract
The present media editing device generates media including messages in an easy manner in a communication terminal such as a mobile terminal. Therein, a moving image data storage part stores moving image data recorded by a user. A region extraction part extracts any region including the user from the moving image data. A front determination part detects whether or not the user in the extracted region is facing the front. A sound detection part detects the presence or absence of a sound signal of a predetermined level or higher. A frame selection part determines starting and ending frames based on the results outputted from the front determination part and the sound detection part. An editing part performs, for example, an image conversion process by clipping out the media based on thus determined starting and ending frames. A transmission data storage part stores the resultantly edited media as transmission data.
