CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/987,495, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,301,428 B1, entitled "COMPRESSED VIDEO EDITOR WITH TRANSITION BUFFER MATCHER" by Elliot N. Linzer, filed on Dec. 9, 1997.
An image processing apparatus includes an image data acquisition unit to acquire first encoded image data of a first data size, an image data creation unit to create a second encoded image data of a second, smaller data size than the first data size from the first encoded image data, a display unit to display an image corresponding to the second encoded image data in a displayunit, an editing unit to accept an edit operation to the image displayed in the display unit and for applying an edit processing corresponding to the edit operation to the first encoded image data, and an edit-result manifesting unit to manifest a result of the edit processing to the second encoded image data.
