Creating and editing "Digital Blackboard" videos using Pentimento : with a focus on syncing audio and visual components

Online education is a rapidly growing field and with the desire to create more online educational content comes the necessity to be able to easily generate and maintain that content. This project aims to allow for recording, editing, and maintaining "digital blackboard" style lectures, in which a handwritten lecture with voiceover narration is created. Current recording software requires that a lecture audio and visuals be recorded correctly in one take or they must be re-recorded. By utilizing vector graphics, a separation of audio and visual components, and a way for the user to be in control of the synchronization of audio and visuals, Pentimento is a unique piece of software that is specifically designed to record and edit online handwritten lectures.
