posted Wed February 17th 2010 @ 8:35 AM
Back in the old days (like a few weeks ago) my podcast videos consisted of a single camera that streamed myself and my co-host through Ustream. When I wanted to get fancy, I would record the video on a digital camera, import it into iMovie, add some titles and do some basic editing, export, then many moons later I would have our video.
