So I have installed in my office a Rode Microphone system. It is an NT-USB. It is not that expensive and it words very well. It has a cardiod peak up, which means it picks up sound only from the direction of the speaker. I did a test video file in which I had a fan going in my office and the air conditioning was running. I didn't hear either one in the recording.
To capture and edit sound I have WavePad from NCH. Their software works and is reasonably priced.
So I have been working to add sound to my PowerPoint. Once you add sound to your PowerPoint you can convert the PowerPoint to a Video file with .mp4 format. It takes a while for the conversion. Not a really long time, but it isn't done in seconds.
Some of the slides in my presentation on Fair Park are stories in their own. So I thought I would make a short preview video based on one of the slides. This was to do a project from beginning to end. Create Powerpoint slides, add audio files, convert to video. This was to make sure all the steps in this process were feasible and to learn quickly how it would all work. It is actually fairly easy.
UPDATE: This video is on the AntiNeoConfederate (one word) channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_TBuNDUeTcx0e2SlYfCYqw
So this is the first Preview Video I made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNLwa2QvlCw
I didn't write a script, but just recorded segments of speech for the different parts in this video. I suppose I could have written a script, and I think that for some future projects I might write scripts, but to make this a quick project I didn't.
It is about the Texas Women in the Civil War plaque at Fair Park, but it is also about the real story of war profiteering off of slave labor which the plaque's historical fraud obscures.
The full PowerPoint has 65 slides and will take all of next week to finish adding narrations to. It is one of a forthcoming series. The whole effort I am initiating to de-racialize the Dallas landscape will be called The Tshawane Project named after the renaming of Pretorious to Tshawne and after the South African efforts to rename streets and places there.
Full video is now release as well as the paper.

1936 Johannesburg Empire Guide Arrives from Australia/ Like Fair Park and looks like Fair Park
This is the cover of the booklet. If you were doing a quick glance you might mistake it for Fair Park. Art Deco was used at expositions in the 1930s to make white racist regimes seem modern and of the future.
There is a tower to send out beams of light like the 1936 Texas Centennial
Art Deco buildings at the exhibit. The lower one is very similar in style to buildings at Fair Park.
British Imperialism is so superior with their Art Deco building.
They find the famous ruins in Zimbabwe, then called Rhodesia after a British imperialist, very mysterious. Though it is obvious that the people of Zimbabwe in the past build these buildings, they speculate that maybe it is the Queen of Sheba. They find it mysterious because they can't imagine anyone besides white people building these buildings.
