Abstract: An editing apparatus and an editing processing program are disclosed wherein an interface having a high degree of fidelity to the sense of a human being is implemented in parameter adjustment performed using a graduation display section. When an operator uses an inputting section to operate a pointer displayed on a screen, the adjustment amount for a parameter is determined from the operation amount of the inputting section. Then, the movement amount for a knob display of a graduation display section is determined in accordance with the adjustment amount for the parameter. Then, the movement amount for the pointer is decided in accordance with the movement amount for the knob display. Therefore, when the operator moves the knob display to adjust the parameter, the movement amount for the pointer can be decided in accordance with the adjustment amount for the parameter.

Abstract: A character generator and its method are suitably applied to such a video title generator for adding title images to a video program. Specifically, the character generator according to the present invention analyzes the form of characters inputted by an operator through a keyboard, and generates a polygon model matching the inputted characters so that the inputted characters look a three-dimensional image. The generated polygon model is subjected to rendering processing and displayed on a computer display. The polygon model displayed on the display can be changed in real time by using three-dimensional parameter and so on, for a shadow or perspective, which is set by the operator on the GUI screen. Thereby, the three-dimensional character generated by transforming the inputted character into the three-dimensional form can be generated with simple constructions and operations and in real time.
