a moving image generation section which generates a moving image from the plurality of videos based on operation performed by a user to the moving image editing screen;

a template acquisition section which acquires a template that is a model for creating a moving image based on operation performed by a user; and

a template generation section which generates the template based on a shooting time of each of the plurality of videos acquired by the video acquisition section.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the template generation section generates a template by extracting a scene break in the template based on a start time and an end time of the plurality of videos.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the moving image editing screen further includes a template display screen that displays the template, and

wherein the display control section controls a display of the moving image editing screen including a video selection screen in which the plurality of videos each having a shooting time corresponding to a selected part of a time axis within a template displayed on the template display screen are arranged on a time axis based on a shooting time of each of the videos.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the moving image generation section searches for a video from among the plurality of videos based on a search key, and causes the video selection screen to display the video extracted by the search.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of videos related to the predetermined theme represent a plurality of videos shared within a community created based on the predetermined theme.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the plurality of videos related to the predetermined theme represent a plurality of videos shared within a community created based on a shooting location of the videos.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the plurality of videos include a plurality of videos shared within the community and a video stored in a storage section provided inside the information processing apparatus.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the video selection screen has a horizontal axis, which represents a time axis, and a vertical axis, and a video displayed on the video selection screen is changed according to change of a granularity of the horizontal axis and/or a granularity of the vertical axis.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein substantially the same time domain is represented as a point on the time axis.

10. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring a plurality of videos related to a predetermined theme shot by a plurality of imaging devices;

displaying a moving image editing screen including a video selection screen in which the plurality of videos acquired in the video acquisition step are arranged around a time axis, wherein the time axis is the time of shooting of each of the plurality of videos, wherein each of the plurality of videos are concurrently replayed on the moving image editing screen in substantially the same time domain, wherein the video selection screen is a screen in which the plurality of videos which are concurrently replayed on the moving image editing screen in substantially the same time domain are sorted based on information of a position at which the video is shot and information of a direction in which the video is shot;

generating a moving image from the plurality of videos based on operation performed by a user to the moving image editing screen;

acquiring a template that is a model for creating a moving image based on an operation performed by a user; and

generating the template based on a shooting time of each of the plurality of videos.

11. The information processing method of claim 10 , wherein substantially the same time domain is represented as a point on the time axis.

12. A method comprising implementing a program for causing a computer to function as an information processing apparatus which includes

a video acquisition section which acquires a plurality of videos related to a predetermined theme shot by a plurality of imaging devices,

a display control section which controls a display of a moving image editing screen including a video selection screen in which the plurality of videos acquired by the video acquisition section are arranged around a time axis, wherein the time axis is the time of shooting of each of the plurality of videos, wherein each of the plurality of videos are concurrently replayed on the moving image editing screen in substantially the same time domain, wherein the video selection screen is a screen in which the plurality of videos which are concurrently replayed on the moving image editing screen in substantially the same time domain are sorted based on information of a position at which the video is shot and information of a direction in which the video is shot,

a moving image generation section which generates a moving image from the plurality of videos based on operation performed by a user to the moving image editing screen,

a template acquisition section which acquires a template that is a model for creating a moving image based on an operation performed by a user, and

a template generation section which generates the template based on a shooting time of each of the plurality of videos acquired by the video acquisition section.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein substantially the same time domain is represented as a point on the time axis.
