Abstract

A video editing apparatus for setting an editing point for a video sequence comprising a device for successively extracting at least one vertical line from each of a plurality of video frames of the video sequence to produce vertical slits and successively arranging the vertical slits as a number of video images representing individual video frames in a horizontal direction to produce a video browser for browsing the video sequence, a display for displaying the video browser on a display, and an editing device for setting an editing point for the video sequence in a coordinated relationship to a time base of the video browser. Accordingly, even if the video sequence is relatively long, video images can be confirmed in a short time from the video browser, and the editing points can be decided in a short time.
