Patent ID: 7769270

Claim:
An editing system comprising: first storage and retaining means for storing and retaining high-resolution video data of edit material; second storage and retaining means for storing and retaining low-resolution video data of said edit material; first edit list creation means for creating a first edit list specifying edit details of rough editing by using said low-resolution video data; second edit list creation means for creating a second edit list specifying edit details of actual editing by using said high-resolution video data; and a network for connecting said first edit list creation means and said second edit list creation means, wherein when the second edit list creation means imports a first edit list from the first edit list creation means, high-resolution video data associated with the imported first edit list is automatically read out of the first storage and retaining means, and a first part of the high-resolution data on an IN-point side and a second part of the high-resolution data on a OUT-point side are read out before a rest part of the high-resolution data so that the high-resolution data on the IN-point side and on the OUT-point side are displayed after the first edit list is imported; and wherein said second edit list creation means reads said first edit list from said first edit list creation means via said network and creates said second edit list based on the first edit list.
