Hi Lucas - There are two websites that come in handy if you want to mashup videos from YouTube ~
> http://keepvid.com will give you a download link so you can rip the .flv file from YouTube to your desktop. I have the "Keep It" link right onto my bookmarks bar and it gets a bit of use. > http://perian.org is the free perian component that lets you play the .flv file within QuickTime. Once you have perian installed, you can import your .flv files straight into iMovie like you would with any QuickTime file. Files ripped from YouTube will tend to have that grainy crappy quality. Often the audio and video is slightly out-of-sync for some reason, but if you use command-J in iMovie it will extract the audio from the video file. You can usually slide the waveform around and get the sound back in sync again. That should get you started at least. -- xo philip http://swordfight.org On 26-Jan-07, at 9:39 PM, Lucas Gonze wrote: > Hey folks, > > I have this idea to make a mashup with this YouTube video: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=901D-ZyP9Nk > > My idea is to play along on guitar, shoot video of myself playing > along, and then make a composite video with the original next to the > new thing.
