Abstract:
1. A content editing apparatus for generating a combined content by combining a first moving image signal and a first audio signal forming a first content with a second moving image signal and a second audio signal forming a second content, respectively, comprising: an optimal reproduction frequency calculation means for calculating an optimal reproduction frequency at which reproduction times of a combined moving image signal and a combined audio signal forming said combined content coincide with each other for said combined audio signal; and a frequency assignment means for assigning said optimal reproduction frequency to said combined content; a first reproduction frequency detection means for detecting a first reproduction frequency of said first audio signal; a first correlation value calculation means for calculating a first correlation value correlating with an amount of a discrepancy between said optimal reproduction frequency and said first reproduction frequency; and a first number-of-screens adjustment means for adjusting the number of screens of said first moving image signal based on said first correlation value.
