How To Add Computer Animations To A Movie On DVD

Graphic Designs In Movie Production

I happen to be in the technical department in my church. We make use of a JVC camcorder to record church services and events. we then use a DVD recorder to transfer the movies from the JVC camcorder unto a dvd.

Recently, we decide to started selling some of the DVD's but they look somehow professional. as we would like to include introductions (like the ones u see before a movie starts- names of people who did the movies and stuffs like animation). i thought about a crude method (which saved the day at least!). What i did was to do most of the text and foto animations in powerpoint, and position and focus the camera unto the laptop screen in a light controlled environment( we swtiched off some of d lights), and recorded it as a introdutcion to the main video on the DVD.

Since i am the IT consultant for my church( i do webdesigns and some bit of help desk, trust me i dnt knw much am learning), i feel i could do more but i need advise as to where i can start. someone told me i need to do that in imovie but i just don't know how. i mean,, hw do i connect a jvc camera to a PC or should i ask if its possible to edit movies and do some bits of multimedia on a computer rather than taking it to a studio??.

Please i need your contributions.  I'll really appreciate it
