The next technique that I am exploring in my screencasting/videocasting skill set is the addition of music. I've resisted adding music for three stupid reasons: 1.

I found that MediaMonkey , a free music organizer/player, sync tool that I had used with an older MP3 player, will sync my tunes with the Pre. I also installed the Music Player (Remix). Keep the screen turned on while charging -- very handy when listening to music in the car. Usability. I really like the Pre's user interface.

In order to get my music onto the Pre I had to drag and drop it into the proper folder (and the Help files didn't give a clue about which folder that should be -- I had to search online to find that it's the DCIM folder). I've read that there are 3rd party tools that will sync music with the Palm, but I haven't had time to experiment.

The transition you are using and the time each shot is shown seems like you need some slower music in a minor key. Is it licensed by creative commons?
