Still not ready for a premiere. Here's what I need to fix:
The audacity track is working well. I need to patch in a bit of sound effect for the opening slides and it'll be set for now.
I was able to add it to Powerpoint (ppt) slides & timed to the each moment on the audio track. The powerpoint show works well ... on my laptop.
The hard part has been exporting into a format that youtube accepts (mp4). There are some free services, but as trial offers, then for pay.
I posted an ugly version by recording my screen on a Zoom [free plan] call with myself!
Now I've learned you can record a ppt presentation as you click through the slides. In theory. This would save a lot of time because then I can play the audio and cue through the slides in a single pass. It's like a reverse Foley move. Foley artists have a set of sound makers and watch a movie while adding the sound track. Named after Jack Foley who invented this method as movies left the silent era and morphed into talkies. Back.in.the.day.
Turns out there's a bug and ppt kept crashing.
What I need to do is record the ppt tracked to the audio and then sync them. Aha, iMovie might work. But the version I have onboard is no longer supported. I wondered what became of those alimony payments.
But, reddit led me to the correct version for MacOS Monterey.
So, I'll record the ppt (no sound) as I listen to audio in my headphones on zoom again. Then I'll use iMovie to sync them together. Polish and Publish to youtube.
That's the current fantasy, at least.
