Wow. I didn't know which response to use! All of these seem to be
great suggestions--I was wondering if something like scrot or import
could be used in a script, but it was around 2 am and I was getting
really hazy...
The screencast approach is almost certainly the direction I'1l go in, as
my intent is a YouTube like movie for my students, showing various
concepts in chemistry. (My source is the motion of molecules displaying
various features in modeling apps I use.)
Audio overlay would be nice as a built-in feature. The one thing I'll
be looking for in addition is possible text overlays. The simpler
script approaches might be the way to go for that if it turns out to be
too much in the comprehensive apps.
I have my own homework now. Thanks for all the help!
