<b>The Process of Making Videos:</b>

Alright, first, I load up Camtasia Recorder and Mozilla FireFox or Internet Explorer…to the Internet, on a site called 'TV-Links.co.uk' to record documentaries, or programs of my choice. If recording audio for the video about to be recorded, I set up my boom microphone, and internal microphone. After recording, I load up Windows Movie Maker, and import the clip. Then, I go back onto the Internet, this time for music recording. (Preferrably Yahoo! Music) With the internal microphone and boom microphone set up, I turn off the air conditioning and ceiling fan in the room. I record the audio, and when finished, I move the boom microphone out of the way and fire up Audacity, my audio program, and listen for extra noise carefully. If I detect noises, then I select the area with any extra noise at all in it, and zoom in on the waves, and then select the 'Remove Background Noise' tool, and it is finished, I listen to it over again before saving changes to the file. I go back into Windows Movie Maker and import the audio file and stick it on the timeline and begin editing with NO effects at all. By the time it is Synchronized up, I save it to my computer with the NTSC 2.1 setting (super high quality). When that is finished I exit Windows Movie Maker and Audacity, and open Camtasia Studios 2 and Notepad. I watch the video carefully and cut it up into segments when the video changes, transfers, or transitions. I cut as soon as I see it, flagging the time, and entering the EXACT time in Notepad. I make sure every single transition/transfer/change is recorded into the text document, with tags such as 'F' for 'fade' and 'O' or 'I' after it for 'in-fade' or 'out-fade'. I then close Camtasia out and open MovieStar 5. I look at the text document and move to that spot, add a proper transition, and move on to the next one, and do the same to that, and the process continues until there's no more time flag areas, except for the ones marked with 'FI' or 'FO'. I save project, but not as initial video yet. Import the video into a Camtasia 2 program included in the Camtasia Studios 2 bundle – Camtasia Editor. I import the video from the Movie Maker save and then find the 'FI' or 'FO' marked ones and add a black or white flash into those, coming from in-fade or out-fade. Save each one independently as a seperate file each, with a number (for example, the first one you save, title it 'Clip1', and the second one titled 'Clip2'), and close Camtasia Editor and open MovieStar. After it is loaded, open the file saved with the marks and effects and add in the independent files where they belong, according to their file name, and then save for highest video and audio quality, and you are finished.
