Abstract
The present invention is directed to an image editing apparatus that automatically selects an appropriate frame rate that improves image quality of a new moving image generated by combining a plurality of moving images having different frame rates to prevent a user from working much on the selection, when the user newly creates a moving image. The image editing apparatus of the present invention classifies a plurality of moving images to be combined into groups based on a frame rate, compares an amount of moving images included in each of the groups, and selects the group having the largest amount of moving images belonging thereto. Further, the image editing apparatus compares the amounts of the moving images for respective frame rates included in the selected group to select the frame rate which the largest amount of the moving images has. The image editing apparatus converts moving image to be combined into the selected frame rate and then combines the plurality of converted moving images.
