What I did when I did my Camera shot tutorial video was I first recorded the video and the actions throughout the film viewer (while I had a rough idea what I was saying). I then went back and watched what I recorded and then typed out all the lines I was going to say. I then recorded the voice over in segments (not all at once) because I too like to say 'umm' a lot. Spliced it all together and I was done. Some segments I had to stop and re-record several times because I would goof.
My problem is I don't bother making a script. I just kinda wing it.... and I'm sure it shows.
I was hoping that while winging it I would also make it a bit more interesting. Some of the info while important could turn into a pretty dry read.... then click here, then click here, then click here.... What I do is think about the section I'm going to do next, get a general idea of what I want to say, and then run with it. Most of the time I'm ok with the way it sounds, but I do re-do them now and then.
After I save and import the sound clip to Flash I then build and use the pictures I need as well as building the mouse and its movements in flash. This one took about 10 hours to make everything and put it all together. The finished size as a flash movie is just over 2 megs, before compression as a working file its over 30 meg
That's why I use Flash. Just doing a "screen capture" film of the same thing and the file would be huge .
Thanks for the positive input, I'll keep plugging away while I have the time !
