  • Patent number: 9343109
    Abstract: A video editing device, when having failed to obtain a portion of high-resolution video data from a video camera through a network, provides, to the user, low-resolution video data which has been previously transferred from the video camera, instead of the portion of the high-resolution video data. In parallel with this, the video editing device automatically searches for the missing high-resolution video data, on a network, using the ID of a video file or the ID of a recording medium, and if it is found, supplements a video which is to be provided to the user, with the found high-resolution video data.
