Loren,

You may not need this information any longer, but just in case you do:

I do 2 recordings. The presenter is recorded with the camera. Then I have the presentation run via my own computer. On it I run a program called Camtasia. It does screen recordings, and I have it set to record already. From there, I produce the screen recording to a format my video editing software can use, and place it in as a PIP, over the presentation from the camera. There are other programs out there that allow you to record what is happening on the screen. I found Camtasia and stuck with it too long ago to remember the pros/cons of each and why I made that decision.

By recording both, you simply find the common point, line up the two recordings, and go. You may want to check to see if you need to adjust recording speeds.

Quite often, I make the presentation video the opposite of what you would get above. I have found it better to keep the slideshow presentation the size of the full screen, and show the presenter in the PIP. This keeps the text on the slides more visible.

When I do these, they go on internal web sites or computer CD’s, so I use the Camtasia software to produce the final deliverable. The downside to it is that the screen recording cannot go on the PIP track. That forces me into the second scenario.

Regards,
Karl
