I've begun to edit the film today (well, part of it using the footage we have) and so far it's going okay. I've cut together all the right parts and have amassed an impressive blooper reel.
Creating the Rec overlay is still proving troublesome. The still transparent .png image of the overlay didn't work at all, so I've had to use the 'blue screen' method, by using a Video FX in iMovie HD to overlay a still image. A Ken Burns effect was on the image and i had trouble stopping it, but i found a way eventually. When previewing the effect all looked great and, finally, I was content... however when applying the effect, the video went very strange and ultimately didn't work. So i've tried having the Rec overlay as a video (opened in a new project and exported to a video, then imported into the original project) however this has yielded similar results... I'm going to have to do some research into this problem.
