[R] create video?

[Spencer Graves]

Hello:


       Might someone have experience with video production?  The 
"animation" package in R can produce video clips.  These could 
presumably be merged and synced with audio using something like 
Avidemux.  I have not done this, but it looks like it might be a 
relatively easy way for an R user to create a video from audio and slides.


       I'd like something that would give me more control than 
screencasting.  For this, I'm thinking of recording the audio, then 
measuring each phrase with something like Audacity.  I'd then use that 
with R and Avidemux as outlined above.


       Can anyone suggest something different or provide details on ways 
to make this easy?


       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves
