How to use Pitivi to insert text in video?

  • 772

I have started using Pitivi in my Ubuntu 12.04. Now I am able to make or edit videos using it. Can anyone tell me How I can insert text in videos using Pitivi? (Like the way Title Card comes in movies with different text transition effect)

  1. You can use png images, I have used Gimp in the past to create text images.

    The process is more less like this.

    1. Start up Pitivi
    2. Import the PNG-picture into the media-library
    3. Drag the picture into the "track"-view
    4. Import your video and drag it into the track-view too (below the picture).

    You should see your text in front of the video.

    Adjust the track-length of your PNG-resource to match the desired duration of your text.
