ABSTRACT:
A scenario editing system comprises a drawing input module drawing graphic media objects or inputting existing media objects; a scene management module storing and managing said media objects; a surrogate media management module storing said media objects for use as surrogate media objects temporarily representing actual moving picture objects, voice objects, or image objects to be created later; a surrogate media list module displaying said surrogate media objects in a list of thumbnails; a media attribute input module allowing a user to enter a media-dependent attribute of an actual media object to be created, while said surrogate media list module displays the list; a calculation module calculating sizes of actual media data and adding up the media data sizes to estimate a total size of an overall application, based on said media-dependent attribute; and a calculation result display module displaying the result of said calculation. The media attribute input module allows a user to enter the name of a person in charge and scheduled development time as an attribute, wherein the calculation module adds up actual media creation costs for calculation of an estimate of the cost of each media type and an overall application, and wherein the calculation result display module displays cost information for each media type and for the overall application.
