How to make picture and picture video using Adobe Elements (HD)

So after 2-3 months of putting this project on the side, I finally finished it up...thank god. There were three problems with completing this "How To".

1. Most screen capture programs were absolutely horrible! But after researching through google and YouTube, I found that Camtasia Studio was the best route. After tinkering with the recording program, I had a lot of fun zooming in my Adobe screen. Might have over done it though :)

2. Audio needed improvement. Borrowed a good quality microphone with a phantom power adapter and used cool edit to get that annoying hiss out of the way (thanks bro!). Just check out my Part 1, where I simply used my camcorder audio, and you can tell the difference.

3. I have no speaking skills...and I have a habit of dragging my tutorials. I managed to break it down to 6 minutes....somehow. That, and I speak very quickly...something that I never was able to get rid of during my many speech classes during college and military school. So if there is a part where I am able to mumble 2-3 sentences together, and you have no idea what I'm saying, you might have to rewind a little bit. Sorry.

Neverthess, this was a fun 4 hours of tutorial making.

Though this is a how to for those curious shooters out there, this was a learning experience with me too. If you guys have any questions about this program, let me know and I'll what I can do (though I am technically a novice myself).

I'd like to ask about the audio from the picture in picture. Will you be able to hear what is coming from both screens or just audio from one screen? Also, can you change the tilt or angle of the smaller screen so that it looks like you are looking at it from the side?

@ussprinceton2004 - Yes, you can control what you hear from either video. So in other words, you can have both of them play or take one of the audios out in the timeline. As for the tilt, I'm not sure you're referring to...do you mean the angle? If that's the case, I wasn't able to do it with this program.

Ummmm that was like frickin' Spanish to me..lol

If that's Spanish, imagine how bad it was the first time I tried to do this. It was 16 minutes long and I didn't even understand after I saw the finished product. lol

could you post a tuturial of how to get your vids hd using premier?

[gamingoddess]

There are a lot of tutorials on YouTube on how to make HD videos. However, it's something that I'll probably work on too. Didn't want to put too much info on the first video.
