I am able to also do this project. I will again use a on screen video recorder and 
can be exported in various formats.

I have also edited extensions myself to suit my templates I create myself. I use 
XAMPP on my own computer as a localhost server to test edits etc.

I am very confident (with all issues I have applied for) in completing this project!

Cheers!
