Well, i suppose you do that with some video editing software.
Windows XP seems to have a Windows Movie Maker.

Btw, seems a interesting contest. All kinds of talented people will be needed, from clothing-designers to animators, from architects to scriptors.
It got my creative juices already streaming.

Yes, Frans is right. Using a video editing software like Windows Movie Maker (comes FREE with Win XP).

Import your movie file and music track into a WMM collection, drag to timeline. Add some titles and credits and PRESTO! If you haven't used Movie Maker is fairly easy to pickup and use.

Here's a good tutorial on Windows Movie Maker - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/getstarted/collections.mspx

There will be a question and answer event tonite. See the event board in world for more info.

As has been mentioned, you can do that with Movie Maker, but only if you are an XP user (doesn't come free with Win2K, for example). It is a bit temperamental to get working correctly but you soon get there.

As an example of what you can do (although it is only a first effort, many will do much much better, I'm sure!), here is a music video involving dancers in sync with the soundtrack I made in Star Wars Galaxies.

Took me one night (I kinda forgot to go to sleep

) to edit together...

If you scroll down that page a bit, it mentions what I used to capture the video (FRAPS) and gives a link to it. I seem to have noticed that video capture is already a feature in SL. But, if that doesn't work for you, give FRAPS a go. Although that will keep the game interface visible.

Another helpful tip when shooting video in SL
- Shoot video completly full screen with no menus shown

To go completely full screen

Bring up Debug window - Ctrl+ALT+Shift +D

Hit the following hotkey to toggle full screen on and off - Ctrl+Alt+1

For anyone interested, if I get the time to do this I'll be doing either Devo's Beautiful World or Matchbox 20's The Real World.

(maybe with the Phobos Trailer Park Band).
