That's one well made demo video. Thanks for that.
Insight on how it was recorded/edited would be cool. I'm guessing you recorded the screen(action/"cast") in parallel with the other video
shot by a camera also recording the audio? But how did you get the
syncing in the cuts so tight?
Albert Wilking made the video, he's the pro. So it was shot on a
"real" camera, with some basic lighting. He was good about pushing
me to get organized, speak slowly, stage shots, etc. It also helps
that I have already made some other simple videos like this, and have
given tons of demos recently, so I could do the demos more or less on
auto-pilot.
The sync is good because we ran the screen capture at the same time
as filming. The screen capture was done with recordmydesktop on
Ubuntu Hardy. It's in synaptic, it's super easy to use, and works
well. It's funny, because screencasting is actually far and away
easier on Ubuntu than Mac OS X or Windows, from my experience. Yay
free software!
He edited the video on Final Cut Pro, but its a pretty simple edit,
so other software would work. I am learning Open Movie Editor
currently.
