Abstract

The present invention provides an editing apparatus, an editing method, and a program by which a user can freely and easily apply an effect while visually confirming a motion-image to be edited. The editing apparatus includes a playback/display unit that plays back and displays a motion-image, a position designation unit that designates the positions on the motion-image played back and displayed by the playback/display unit, a coordinate conversion unit that converts the positions designated by the position designation unit into virtual coordinates on the motion image, a storage unit that stores the virtual coordinates obtained by the coordinate conversion unit in association with frames of the motion-image, and an effect application unit that applies an effect to the motion-image based on the virtual coordinates stored in the storage unit.
