How to make movies on PowerPC Macs

Family vacation? Youtube video? Or just making a screen recording.

Well the best video editor is obviously Final Cut Pro. The latest version does not run on PowerPC... Final Cut Pro 5 runs smoothly on my iBook, the 6th version is still runs on PowerPC, but I'm not sure if it would work smoothly on my iBook. I wanted to edit my youtube videos on final cut pro... but it was more complicated to do then I thought. I would take time to watch a one hour video, but I'm just too lazy.

iMovie is very popular as well, but iMovie 8 requires a G5 machine. But iMovie 6 seems to run very well on my iBook. I would still recommend final cut pro more then iMovie but iMovie has a good newbie interface.

For audio recording, I find that Audacity is the best program to do that. It had a very ease to use interface.

Now for screen recorders, the best one is Screenflow, but it is very expensive (I found a copy stored in my basement for some reason...) there is a trial version, but there will be annoying big SCREENFLOW DEMO letters on your recording :/ Screenflow records the full screen as well as sound, I found that is hogs my CPU :( For those of you who do not want to spend money, there is something called Copernicus, it is a good screen recorder, except it does not record sound.

I hope you have good night's sleep ;)))
