How To Edit The Following.....

[codswallop]

I am using the following Screencast-O-Matic Screen Recorder plus Skype.My aim is to make a short video of myself with a message to send to a friend that precedes some short info video clips to burn to DVD.I can get right to end successfully but my part is still surrounded by techy info.Is there any way I can edit the video to show just my active part in this? Not very clear....... but !!!! Thanks.

My post here refers to editing DVD content but it applies just as well to your situation:

Let me know if I got your question:
You want to perform screen recording while having a Skype conversation, and then you want to edit this video record by adding short video clips. You also want to burn the project to DVD. Is that correct?
I have some experience in video editing, and given you already got the screen recording program, I can recommend you the following software:
VideoPad: http://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/
VSDC Free Video Editor: http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor

Both are free, quite intuitive and have what you need. The only thing is VSDC has no Menu option for DVD burning, but as far as I understand, this is not needed in your case.

To show just your active part, you just need to remove the unnecessary parts off the recordings. To do so, you just need an easy video cropping software. This post covers a lot more good options that you may take a reference: https://www.videoproc.com/video-editor/free-video-cropper.htm. Incidentally, I often use iMovie, DaVinci Resolve, and Avidemux.
