My first attempt at video with narration.

Hi ncc1701e,

Well done indeed! For your first video you've done really well to both fly the plane and keep the audience engaged from a production perspective. Looking forward to watching the other parts and learning more!

I am curious, which tools did you use for your production in the end, and how did you find the experience of putting it together?

Cheers

James

Hi James. I actually added my narration later. I flew first and recorded with fraps. I then added my audio narration and tried to make it sound like I was doing it as I was flying. I didn't do both simultaneously. Im not that good yet I used the outcome of fraps and threw it into Camtasia for narration and callouts just and you recommended doing. I found the experience very pleasant and fun. I had never done a video with this much diligence before. I liked it just as much as flying X-Plane itself. I look forward to doing more videos and hope to get better and better. They only thing I missed that Camtasia didn't seem to have was a custom user defined sketch motion callout as opposed to the pre-built-in sketch motion callouts. I found a point where I wanted to define my own motion but couldn't. Overall though, Camtasia is very user friendly and intuitive. Thanks again for all your guidance. It really pointed me in the correct direction about a topic I knew little to nothing about. Cheers.
