Klingler relates to digital video image processing on a
desktop computer, which is integrated with a conventional word
processing program for linking scripts to their corresponding
video image clips (Fig. 7 and col. 9, lines 39-68). Parks, on
the other hand, discloses a method for editing video signals in
real time by interpreting a script that is stored in a computer
and combining subtitles with video images (col. 2, lines 48-56
and col. 3, lines 8-21). Parks further teaches that the script
may be adjusted according to predicted audience reading speeds in
order to make the subtitle easier to read (col. 7, lines 9-15).
The subtitle timing depends on a constant rate of reading speed,
sixteen character per second, added to a lag time taken to
realize that the text has changed (col. 7, lines 16-24). A flag
marks the subtitle text for review if the available time is less
than the estimated reading time plus the lag time (col. 7, lines
24-32). Therefore, Parks provides for editing the subtitle text
based on a fixed reading rate instead of the claimed variable
reading rate set by a user.
Chippendale discloses a device for controlling audiovisual
work for graphically interrelating the audio and visual elements
