Abstract
An editing system for editing a plurality of clips recorded on a random-accessible recording medium includes a clip processing device having a plurality of clip processing layers to execute a predetermined process for the clips, and a hierarchy decision device having a plurality of objects corresponding to the clip processing layers. The hierarchy decision device serves to decide the hierarchy of each clip processing layer by a hierarchical structure which is formed by connecting the objects mutually. The clip processing device performs time management of each clip processing layer. Any processed clip obtained from a first clip processing layer is further processed by a second clip processing layer which is hierarchically above the first clip processing layer. The processed clip obtained from a hierarchically uppermost clip processing layer is outputted as a fat clip.
