Abstract: A digital image processing system includes a microprocessor, random access memory, storage memory, input, display, and suitable logic to provide existing digital video image processing operations in a graphical user interface which allows the user to quickly and efficiently edit a movie. The system includes logic for displaying the assembled video and audio media, transitions, and special effects in a series of independent, time-correlated tracks which provide the system operator with a linear view of the movie as well as a quick understanding of the dataflow associated with the processing of the constituents of the movie at any point in time.

Abstract: A digital image processing system including a microprocessor, random access memory, storage memory, input means, display means, and suitable logic to provide existing digital image processing operations in a conventional graphical user interface, such as a windows environment, which allows the user to implement image processing operations on a selected portion of a movie without utilizing a primitive special programming language.
