Patent ID: 8743127

Claim:
An information processing apparatus configured to process video, comprising: a computer graphics image generation block configured to execute realtime rendering of a computer graphics animation by use of a timeline time indicative of a temporal position of said computer graphics animation; an operation input block configured to enter a user operation for specifying progression of said computer graphics animation; and a control block configured to control said computer graphics image generation block in response to said user operation entered through said operation input block, wherein said control block has a hold portion configured to hold time code HH:MM:SS:FF as a parameter indicative of stopped temporal position when the progression of said computer graphics animation being realtime rendered is stopped, frame value FF of the time code HH:MM:SS:FF being in decimal form which includes a value to the right side of a decimal point; and a conversion portion configured to convert said time code HH:MM:SS:FF held in said hold portion into said timeline time and notify said computer graphics image generation block of said timeline time, wherein said control block further has an adjustment portion configured to execute adjustment of removing a fraction occurring in frame value FF of said time code HH:MM:SS:FF held in said hold portion, and wherein said conversion portion converts said time code HH:MM:SS:FF after conversion into said timeline time.
