Abstract: A video capturing apparatus includes imaging unit, generator, detector, storage unit, assigning unit, and output unit. The generator generates time information for the captured video. The detector detects a predetermined video feature from the captured videos. The storage unit stores the captured videos, the time information, and the video features, with the captured videos being associated with the time information and the video features. The assigning unit assigns tag information to either the video having an evaluated value for the video feature that is larger than a predetermined value or the video having a change amount of the video feature that is larger than a predetermined value. The output unit preferentially outputs a video, of the captured videos, to which the tag information is assigned, when the captured videos are output. This configuration allows the video capturing apparatus capable of playing back a digest of videos.
