In principle that would be a better option.  In practice you need to be
really really sure that you can simply mix the two formats in to a final
output.

Mixing PC-video and camera-video successfully together has a reputation
for being difficult.  All to do with frame rates and interlacing modes
of which I have zero understanding.  The other issue being that modern
video projectors are very good at coping with having a multitude of PCs
& Macs plugged in to them,  working out the resolution etc. and
displaying a quality image.  I am sceptical of finding some video
editing software that is so forgiving.

If a mix of video and screen capture could be achieved it would be
great, but certainty of a successful result AND a fallback if it doesn't
work should be part of the plan.
