[senit] video editing

Yep,

thanks Sean , I have just tried it. Was quite easy to
get a symbol into a clip in imovie, but harder to
insert a signed movie (.mov) into a clip on i movie.
issues that needed consideration included;
obviously when insert .mov (signed movie) to imovie
clip (action movie) the .mov has to be shorter than
the imovie clip which measn attention needs to be paid
when filming to length of action clips 
and signed clips. action clips may need to be slowed
down and exagerated.
however if signed clip to insert is much shorter than
the imovie action clip it seems to
autorepeat the signed . mov. so you need to set where
in the imovie clip you want it to start/finish and it
is hard to do this accurately . the imovie help file
says use the crop markers to set the place where movie
effect is to start and finish crop markers but you
still need to know the length of the movie being
inserted and then leave that length gap in the host
imovie clip using the crop markers.
It seemed to be very time consuming to insert a
sentence of signing describing the action in each i
movie clip.The help file is rather basic and there is
not any help on the kudlian website. Is there any more
detailed help available elsewhere? The other issue is
that the result was the retention of the original
imovie sound track with the inserted .mov movie losing
its sound and I couldn't see how to alter this. Eg
what If I sign and speak the narration- and want the
background action silent? I supppose I could do it in
reverse and have me signing as the main movie and
insert a window showing the students action movie. Is
the example clip of students singing rainbow song
yours? it looks like the same thing happens there ie
the main movie singing is preserved and the signed
inset window is silent?
cheers
