Abstract

Image data is processed in the form of digitized frames on a video clip. A first clip is received in combination with a second clip. Frames are alternately supplied from each of said clips to a real time rendering device configured to produce a viewable composited clip at video rate. By making use of a rendering engine primarily designed for rendering synthesized images, it is possible to view many video effects, such as dissolves and wipes, in real time.
