Abstract

A method for editing a digital film using an electronic data processing apparatus, comprising the steps of: setting a first editing mark; setting a second editing mark; and deleting a film section between the first editing mark and the second editing mark. At least one of the steps of setting the first and second editing marks comprises the following steps performed in sequence by the electronic data processing apparatus: (a) during a replay mode, responding to manual actuation of a key by setting the editing mark at a first point on the digital film; (b) automatically making a backward jump from the first point on the digital film to an earlier point on the digital film; (c) automatically initiating a continuation of the replay mode at the earlier point on the film reached by the backward jump; and (d) in response to another manual actuation of the key, which is made when said first point is at an unsatisfactory location on the digital film, setting the editing mark at a second point on the digital film during continuation of the replay mode.
