Thanks Ben/Derek/Peter/Moshe and everyone else. I don't think I ever got
back to close the loop.
In the end I simply recorded my voiceover with Audacity and distributed
it as a separate mp3 with the pdf of the slides. For the recording
session I put a big Post-It on the monitor to remind myself to call out
the slide numbers. Everyone seemed satisfied with this solution.
Audacity was an easy build and easy enough to use. In fact, so easy I
still don't really know how to use it but still got the recording done.
Was very easy to stop and back up to some point in the recording and
start again from there.
I like the OBS idea and want to try it out but it's a very busy
Slackbuild - lots of dependencies. I will finish that project off at
some point when I have more time.
Ben: as I mentioned, recordmydesktop is gone from Slack 15. The
ChangeLog says "not much need for this, ssr is better maintained." Turns
out ssr (/usr/bin/simplescreenrecroder) might be a good solution once I
figure out how to use it a little better.
There you go, the longest UMLUG thread for years ...
thanks

Hi Judah!
I recommend recordmydesktop, and possibly gtk-recordmydesktop
(https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/multimedia/gtk-recordmydesktop/).
recordmydesktop is in extras in Slackware.
Recordmydesktop claims to support recording audio at the same time.
If it doesn't, I would use audacity
(https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/audio/audacity/) and then use
ffmpeg or mencoder to glue the video and the sound together. This is a
little bit of a roll-your-own solution.
There are probably better alternatives that let you glue the files together,
such as kdenlive (KDE series) or Shotcut
(https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/multimedia/shotcut/) which may be
more friendly ways to glue the audio track into the video.

Hello All.
Happy Fiscal New Year and every other sort of New Year one might observe.
I hope UMLUG is still being read...
Have an actual Linux question: can anyone recommend some screen recording
software?
Am teaching a course (at UMD) and need to pre-record a lecture. I made a PDF
with all the slides and plan to record a voice track, calling out slide
numbers as I go, and save it as an mp3.
Then one of the students suggested that it all be done as a screenshot
video. I guess that puts everything in one file vs. two, and maybe I get a
virtual laser pointer out of it.
Anyone ever done anything like this? I suppose there's probably a way to do
it with Zoom but based on my limited Zoom experience I'd rather create it
locally on my own machine.
Similarly UMD ELMS offers "Panopto", which might do the trick, but I'm
reluctant to go that route for various reasons.
There must be some good package that runs on Linux...
BTW won't a video file of same length be much huger than the mp3 + pdf files
together? No movies or animations in this lecture, at least.
thanks for all tips!
Judah
