How do you plan the DVD creation process? (audio, video,etc)

[tomld]

I am trying to create a marketing info DVD for the first time and I am trying to coordinate the narration, video, menus, etc. What is the proper process for doing this? Here's how I am doing it:

1. Record the narration audio
2. Create the video
3. Cut the video to match the audio
4. Insert graphics/logos/menu/subtitles/etc
5. Finalize the DVD

Is that the correct way to do it? I'm having trouble being sure the narration length will match the video I make for it. Any advice?

Regards,
Tom

Hi tomld,

If you are creating a marketing video using some screen capture, there are some excellent programs that specialize in just that. Some utilize powerpoint and others will work with just about any program. They explain step by step how to do it. Try downloading a demo at downloads.com Try camtasia studio

Camtasia is actually the program I am using. They have great features like zooming, highlighting, arrows, etc, but not the best for creating text menu's. Hopefully th video I capture with Camtasia will look good on a TV screen.
