Abstract

See full text

An image editing apparatus having an input for key frame information and a key frame storage means. A first interpolation control point calculates means for receiving information from key frame storage and calculates control points for curve interpolation. A key frame shape decision means receives the information from the storage means, decides the shape of a key frame, and outputs the information. A second interpolation control point calculates control points by a different method than the first interpolation. Curve interpolation means receive output from both interpolation means and replaces the first interpolation with the second, and performs the curve interpolation using the second replacement control points. Storage means receive the timing information and output an image to a display unit. Thus, the notion of the image is accelerated at the starting key frame and breaks the motion at an and key frame without adding manual key frames.
