Subtitles of the Movie

We looked earlier at compositing video images. Can I do the same thing with my text and with my titles that I have? Of course I can. Really you're just using the same principles here. You're just stacking up layers of video on top of one another except the difference here is that rather than dealing with video images, you're dealing with generated video. So this time from my text menu I'll choose outline text. That'll bring up some sample text here. I'll use my three-point editing to go to my timeline and let's decide where I want this. I'll go through the footage here and got some area over here where I can start to add a title, so let's set an in point A and we'll set an out point, we'll make this kind of brief, set an out point there. Now I've got my sample text and with video one as the source patched into video three as the destination, let's just simply do an overwrite edit and there we go. To edit what it says and where it says it, remember just to double click to bring it up. The controls will let you change the font. Apply symbols, what's going to look good here? I don't know. Arial black. Not great, but alright. We'll just use plain style, We can use bold italic, all the different options we have so we can use the sizer tool to scale this down. We can grab it and use the wireframes to move this around if we want to. Change the kind of text that it is so we'll call this lap one, press tab, there we go. New position once again. That's starting to look a little bit better. Line with line softness, opacity, text color, all that stuff you've seen. Text graphic. That's kind of an interesting one. What that means is that you can drag and drop something like this or a still image and you can actually make the text look like something that is, that exists in the video somewhere else or a still image. So is that what you want for your text? Well, I don't now. Maybe you do, maybe you don't. But you can also do the same thing for your line. So that's the outline text and that is how you can stack your different titles as they come in. So they can be on top of each other, they can come in one right after the other, they can fade in and all be on the screen at the same time. It's just up to you how many layers you want to build and how many pieces of text information you want on your screen at one time. When the thing's done, it's going to look generally like this.
