- Creating Video Automatically from Text -

Abstract

We have been studying the next generation of video creation solution based on TVML (TV program Making Language) technology. TVML has a long history proposed back in 1996 by NHK, however, the only available Player has been the one made by NHK for years. We have developed a new TVML Player from scratch and named it T2V (Text-To-Vision) Player. Due to the development from scratch, the code is compact, light and fast, and extendable and portable. Moreover, the new T2V Player performs not only a playback of TVML script but also a Text-To-Vision conversion from input plane text to video by using FIL (Flexible Interpretation Loader) that can be added as a plug-in of the Player.
