Appeal No. 2003-1934 Page 2
Application No. 08/821,320
order to illustrate a news story; the story is set out in a script to accompany the
sequence. The video sequence must be of a desired duration; the script must match
the sequence; and scenes within the sequence must be being matched with sections of
the script. Once a draft sequence has been assembled, and a draft script has been
written, the appellants desire to check that the script matches the sequence. (Spec. at
1.)
Accordingly, the appellants' editing system stores a video sequence and text
associated therewith. As shown in Figure 1 of the appellants' specification, the video
and text are displayed side-by-side. Time codes are associated with the frames of the
video sequence. Corresponding time codes are associated with the text based on the
time codes of the video sequence and the rate at which words of the text are read. The
current position in the text can be controlled based on the time code of the video
frames; and the video frame displayed can be controlled based on the current position
in the text. A cursor indicates the current position in text. (Id., abs.)
