Here is a short tutorial that points out the most important steps
Hardware:
Software:
Part A – audio & video recording
Step 1: After deciding and practicing the different parts of the song you will be recording, start GarageBand and create a new music project.
Step 2: Once you have set everything ready for recording, open iMovie and start the webcam (iMovie will ask you to name the iMovie-event). Now, start filming the first video track and go to GarageBand to start recording the audio track for the video track you are just filming right now.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 for every additional track — Again: Record audio on GarageBand, film video on iMovie.
Step 4: Mix your song (audio) on GarageBand.
Part B – video editing
Step 5: Start Final Cut Express 4, make a new project, and save it with a name of your choice.
Step 6: Import all video files you want to use for your video from your iMovie event. Also import the GarageBand audio file.
Step 7: Drag the GarageBand file into the audio track and lock it.
Step 11: Render the whole video and export it. Your video is ready to be online !

What program do you recommend for windows?
I don’t know which are the best because I’m a mac user but here is some software available on windows:
- video: Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, Pinnacle Studio,…
- audio: Cubase, Protools, Ableton,…
what if garage band files wont go into FCE?
You’ll need to make an export of your mix as an aiff, wave or mp3 file in order to load it into FC.
What do i do if i don’t have a mac? quit editing?
it’s not very nice to show only mac softwares, there are also great windows softwares, such as Sony Vegas Pro…
ok, now i saw that you already answered that. sorry ^^
Is there absolutely any way to cut some time on rendering?
@JaeChongMusic: Buy a faster computer.
If you have Windows, use Adobe Premiere. It runs exactly like Final Cut!
@JaeChongMusic : Under Windows 7-64, you can use Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. The CS5 core is written for 64 bits OS so it can use more than 3 gigabytes of RAM (which is the limit with the 32 bits version of W7). In addition, you can use a N’vidia G-card and their CUDA technology. CUDA is used by Premiere Pro CS5 for rendition in real time while you work your project. For the final media export though, CUDA can’t help, and there’s nothing else to do than go have a coffee…
just dont just dont!! I love it!!! looks to me like FInal Cut Pro DOWNGRADED into the same BS, TOYS and more TOYS for every occasion WITH themes and effects, as iMovie has….
These are very helpful….I totally referred to them many times while making my first video song this week. Thanks!
