ScorpioMartianus: Acta Diurna Universa

[Lucus Eques]

Salvete omnes!

I am attempting to convert the Acta Diurna of ScorpioMartianus.com from a radio/audio programme into a TV-style broadcast, and I'm interested in your feedback:

I left out a couple things for this first one: first, I bought a plugin for iMovie that allows one to place the still picture inset of what I'm talking about over the shoulder, but the darn registration key hasn't yet arrived! very annoying. So that'll make it much more interesting when the time comes.

Also, I considered subtitles (both Latin and/or English), but that takes a huge amount of work to do to make it smooth — so I put the transcript in the description; does that work well enough?

Much obliged; gratias vobis!

Horray! I got the iMovie plugin; much better with the insets:

I think if you were going to do subtitles, it would make more sense to put them in Latin. You'd have to figure out the demographic, I suppose. If students would be watching (That would be a nice homework assignment) you might want to make Latin subtitles. It would be easier for them to read it in English but, hey, if they wanted to get the news in English, they can always watch CNN. That's actually made up my mind for me. I vote for subtitles in Latin.

It seems sufficient to just put the transcript in the description, IMHO.

Thanks! hopefully it'll be fine to have the transcript just in the description.
