Yeah, the available prog in Windows like Movie Maker can do it. Don't bother installing other program if you just going to do simple video editing.

Open up the software, load your video file, put the video on timeline, look for titling option, type in your wordings, put transitions if you like, then see playbeck of the video, if you like it then export it as mpeg, avi, or any other format that you want.

Still dont understand, look up the HELP menu in the software!

Good luck.

Use Adobe After Effects. And then google for tutorials on how to do it.

Movie Maker is way too simple. Not much customization.

If you're afraid of being bogged down by menus and options and confusing programs, try MS Movie Maker first. It's pretty simple to use after a little fumbling around, you'll find it pretty intuitive. If it's just for hobby/home use, it'll impress 90% of your family/friends - even if you just randomly assign music to a slideshow. Of course if we're talking a more professional/college use, you'd probably want to skip the program and go for someting available at your school's computer lab.

As for the placement of the titles/overlays (I think they call it that in that program), you can choose where and how you want th words to appear in the frame. Fonts not fancy enough? DL fonts from the net and put them in your fonts folder on your computer.

Hope this helps.

as far as i know.... the "SUPER" term actually refers in TV commercials where the brand or product only comes towards the end of the commercial for just about 3 secs. The wordings, text or image of the product is which we call SUPER.
