Abstract

A system for generating a digest of a moving image according to the present invention includes: a generating section for generating a moving image having a plurality of frames, and for generating an operation signal in response to an input received by the generating section during the generating of the moving image; a priority assigning section for assigning a priority to each of the plurality of frames as a function of the operation signal; a selecting section for selecting at least one image of a plurality of images corresponding to the plurality of frames, based on the priority; and an output section for outputting at least one image selected by the selecting section.
