Thank you for your response, Libybiri. Yes - I"m talking about a video demo (or screencase video recording). I find it a lot easier to do the video demo, then add audio narration and other images to the slide later (like arrows or other images) - I've added a screenshot of the timeline below. You'll see that my video ends, but I'm still narrating and pointing to images on the last video shot. The intention was to keep the final image of the video on the screen, but the problem was that the video looped to its beginning again. I was able to fix the looping by moving the END marker so that it was just before the transition marker at the end of the video (second screenshot below).
I have to disappoint you but you are looking for issues. Both audio and video clips are heavy files. To keep them synrhronized is a pain.
This is my workflow for video demo, because I also like to focus on one task when recording:
- I write out the script for the audio/video
- I record the Video demo and audio, in sort of a draft version mostly aimed at having the video in an appropriate tempo (sorry for that musical term)
- I avoid recording long video demo's, prefer to add new video clips at the end of the previous ones. That makes it easier to add static objects later on, and/or to convert the video to an interactive video with overlay slides.
- I will edit the video clips, but each of them will have its individual audio clip.
- When editing is done I will record the 'definite' audio clip in Audition and replace the draft audio clips. I know how long they need to be to have the appropriate synching
- If necessary I will edit again, but that will be minor changes.
Maybe I have to write out this workflow in a blog?
