This was great! What software did you use to create the video... I love the annotations.. very unique for this style tutorial.

Thank you @bluehz. Video from the camera is imported directly into iMovie. Still graphics are created in Adobe InDesign and Photoshop at full size, 1920 x 1080 pixels (16:9 ratio), then imported into iPhoto and from there into iMovie, where titles and transitions are added and the video is composed. The finished video is uploaded, tagged and closed-captioned (a cool, free YouTube feature) on our YouTube channel.

@bamagazine Excellent - thx for the info - what did you do to do the dashed line around the photo at approx 1:30.

[bamagazine]

@bluehz Three InDesign graphics, with dotted line segments pointed out the phantom frame.
