I hope this isn't off-topic. I want to make a video to demonstrate how to use a web site. Flash flv is the obvious choice as I want it to be on the web and work on all of windows/mac/linux.
I see these steps: 1. Record a browser session. (i.e. record output of a window, not of the whole desktop? Or simpler to make the browser full-screen?) 2. Convert that to flv. 3. Add a voice-over (merge from mp3 file?) 4. Add explanation text on top of the movie. (Wrap the flv in a swf, and use actionscript to show/hide a text window at certain points of time? A bit labour-intensive, but at least I know how to do this. I probably want to host on YouTube though, so I'd then need to convert back from swf to flv??) I am wondering if I can do the whole process using open source tools? (I'm using linux, but could use windows if necessary.) If not, what do I need? I would welcome suggestions for software, as well as web sites/books/blogs that would give useful advice. (Initially this is to promote an open source project - MLSN,see my sig file - but I am sure some of my clients could use something similar, so I want it to look professional.)
