The option to insert titles into the movie is present in many video editors. With its help, you can add text to the edited video, customize its animation, choose the font of the inscription and its color. However, if you need to get a more picturesque result, you can insert titles not as text, but as an image created in a graphics editor.
Necessary
- - Photoshop program;
- - Movie Maker program;
- - video.
Instructions
Step 1
Create a new document in the graphics editor Photoshop, the dimensions of which correspond to the frame sizes of the video into which you insert the titles. Leave the background of the document transparent.
Step 2
With the Horizontal Type Tool, make an inscription by clicking on the document field and entering text from the keyboard. Move the cursor over the caption. When it looks like an arrow, move the text to the place where it will be located on the screen.
Step 3
If needed, you can add a decorative frame by drawing it with the Custom Shape Tool. To do this, turn on the tool and open the list of shapes by clicking on the arrow in the Shape field under the main menu. Select the desired frame and turn on the Shape Layers mode by clicking on the corresponding icon in the tool's settings panel.
Step 4
Add a background to the picture, on which the inscription will be easy to read. To do this, use the Layer option of the New group of the Layer menu to insert a new layer into the document and paint it using the Paint Bucket tool with an texture or color. Using the mouse, drag a new layer in the layers palette below the text and frame.
Step 5
Save the resulting image in.
Step 6
In order to get the second part of the titles, apply a style to the layers or insert frames from the video into the image without changing the position of the picture details. To apply a style, click on the layer you are going to work with and click on one of the swatches in the Styles palette.
Step 7
To add frames to the picture, load the movie into Movie Maker using the "Import Video" option. Drag the video onto the timeline using the mouse, place the current frame pointer on the frame that is suitable for adding to titles, and click on the “Take Photo” button located under the player window. After specifying the location on the computer where the image will be recorded, save the frame.
Step 8
Paste the saved frame into the captioned picture open in Photoshop using the Place option on the File menu. Reduce the size of the added frame by moving the frame that surrounds the image. If necessary, you can change the tilt of the picture.
Step 9
Save the second part of the title in.
Step 10
Load both captioned images into Movie Maker using the Import Images option. Transfer both images to the timeline and insert them in front of the video. If necessary, change the length of time the titles remain on screen by dragging the edge of the picture clip on the timeline to the right.
Step 11
In order to animate the appearance on the screen of the details added to the second version of titles, insert a transition between the pictures with titles. To do this, use the "View video transitions" option to open the list of available transitions and drag one of the icons onto the transition track with the mouse.
Step 12
Save the video with titles using the "Save to Computer" option.
