OK, this is work related, so please respond as soon as possible. OK, so here is the situation. One of the things I'm doing with my business is to make training material freely available through means of a Youtube channel.
By the way: http://youtube.gillandmarketing.com Anyway, so two things. First off, I was using screenflow to record the videos, as with it, I can capture my microphone as well as my screen display, and even can capture my system audio, which is freaking awesome! Really though, that's aside the point. So, I was chatting this morning via Twitter with a guy who is apparently totally sighted who found my Youtube channel totally by coencidence. One thing I did in my first video was, I thought it would be a nice touch to allow people to see the face behind who was making these videos. So, one thing Screenflow will let you do, and BTW, my question isn't about screenflow, so if you're not familiar with it, don't worry. Just let me set some background, and then I think you'll get where I'm going with this. Anyway, one thing it'll let you do is, you can not only capture video from your display, but you also can put a little thumbnail in your video of a live image from your eyesight webcam. So therefore, I was able to have that little thumbnail in the bottom right corner of the screen along with my mac's screen being captured. Well, this guy I mentioned about who's sighted told me that is actually very distracting having that webcam image there. He suggested to start with no mac screen, but just a simple picture of me on camera, then after about 5 to 30 at most seconds, transition over to my mac's screen, and do *not!* have me remain on the screen, not even as a thumbnail. Then maybe wrap things up at the end by flipping back again to my face. So, screenflow won't do this, as far as I know. At least not with keyboard shortcuts. So, while out eating breakfast this morning, I started really thinking outside the box. ultimately, here's what I'm wonderring. If! let's szay, I was to record the intro of me on camera with, say, Photobooth or something, save that video, then, go into Screenflow and record my actual tutorial, could I then, go into something like IMovie, and accessibly with Voiceover join those two videos together, merging both of them into one video, then just save the merged content together as 1 .MP4 movie file which I then could turn around and upload to Youtube? Personally, I thought that idea was quite engenious. The question isn't so much can IMovie do it. I'm 99.9 percent confident that it can. The question is more, can it do so accessibly, and if so, how? I admit, guilty charged, I've never really even opened up IMovie before. At least, not that I remember. I have it, but that's about the scope of it. The other thing is, say I have an mp3 file of some royalty free music that I want to put as a bed behind my video. Is that something IMovie can accessibly let me do? If nothing else, are the two above tasks easy enough to do with the Youtube editer? http://www.youtube.com/editor I'd be incredibly interested in hearing what you all suggest that I do.
