How to add text to Imovie

Hi there,
As a new user of an Macbook, and iMovie, I cannot figure out how to add texts to my movies. I do understand that I can add titles, but that doesn't allow me to change positions nor allows me to edit the font in the extent that I want to.
Naturally I browsed the web, and the only conclusion I can draw is that it is not possible (yet) to add plain texts to your movie. Is this correct?
If this is the case, do you use some other programs to circumvent this limitation in iMovie?
Thanks for your help!

in imovie 10, look at the bottom left hand corner there should be:
Content and Backgrounds
Titles
Tranistions
This is also known as the content libary
Click on titles and they should appear, it works for me.

    You can't using iphoto. You'll need an external editor. Seasgore is free, Photoshop Elements is relatively inexpensive, Photoshop is very expensive. Graphic Converter may be on your machine already. Search on http://www.macupdate.com

  • How to add text to gif

    Hello, i'm a beginner in photoshop.
    I want to add text to my gif in animation frame, but somehow the text look transparent even though i already use black color for the text.
    Could someone give me tutorial to how to add text to the gif and then make some kind of a subtitle?
    Thanks..

    So, if i want to make the text appear in layer 1-10 only, i only have to put the text layer above layer 10 right?
    Do you mean 'Frame 1 - 10'? If you want the text to appear in Frames 1 - 10, you have to add the text to all frames from 1 - 10 above your image layer.
    But what if then i want to make a new text for layer 11-20? Wouldn't the text appear in layer 1-10 as well? How to separate the text then?
    If you want new text for Frame 11-20, you have to create a text layer in Frames 11 - 20 and change the text that you want to show in 11-20 frames.

  • How to add text to a polygon shape?

    I created a triangle:
    <Polygon Name="triangle_top" Points="0,0 130,0, 130,130" Stroke="Black" />
    I would like to add text to it without adding a label.
    how should I do it?

    You should either not mark a thread as answered ( closed) or ask a new question on a new thread.
    I would start by removing the margin, but that's because there is no way of knowing how big that grid is from your code.
    <Grid x:Name="topTriangle" >
    <Polygon Name="triangle_top" Points="0,0 130,0, 130,130" Stroke="Black" Fill="Red" MouseEnter="triangle_MouseEnter" MouseLeave="triangle_MouseLeave" />
    <TextBlock Name="text_top" FontSize="25" Text="55" Foreground="Black" />
    </Grid>
    Hope that helps.

  • How to add text to a pdf file?

    I was sent a rental application as a pdf file which I need to fill in but I can't seem to add text to it.
    How does one open a pdf file and add text to it?
    I have acrobat professional that came with adobe cs3 on my mac.
    Thanks for any advice.

    If you don't have the original and need a word version that you can edit.
    Open PDF  go to Save As... choose Word and then choose format.
    See this: http://www.screencast.com/t/igS0SoMDri
    Note: this only works with text based files.
    once its converted you can edit to you heart's content.  Then once edited as need create a new PDF with a different name.
    Open the Acrobat original Document Click on On Tools (if AcrobatX) and choose replace Pages and choose your new pdf as source. the choose desired pages or choose entire document.
    If you have any form Fileds and they have been displaced choose edit Form, click on each field in turn than needs moving, use up down right or left arrow keys to nudge the elements to desired position.
    If you have have a Form that has extended reader rights you have to remove those right by saving a copy without rights. Then onece editting completed you have to add rights.

  • How to add text to transparent gif?

    Hi, I'm using Photoshop 6.01. with Windows 7 Professional.  I have a transparent gif file, to which I want to add text, including bullets.  The stuff I want to add is now on one of my webpages, and so is the gif, but I want to combine the image and the text.  Is there a way to do this?  If so, how?
    Thanks.

    If I understand what you are after and due to the point that Marion made. It would be wise to overlay the html text onto the graphic. To do so I recommend that you do a bit of research on CSS for absolute position and placement.
    But this assumes that the text in the html fits your needs. If you require special effects applied to the text or even fonts that are not supported via html, then you are more or left forced to use either photoshop or flash.

  • How to add text to the summary

    I wanted to add a text to my summ total on my report.
    The forum told me to add a boiler plate text item. However this item displays on every page.. I want it to only display where the summary is. I tried using anchors but it will not attach to the summary item.. Help
    howard

    Hi Howard,
    I guess you are referring to this post:
    How do i add text to the summary
    First make sure that you place the boilerplate exactly where you had (or currently have) the summary column, ie, in the SAME frame or repeating frame.
    Second, open the property inspector for your summary column. Find the properties "Print Object On" and "Base Printing on", and make sure that both of these are the same for your boilerpate as for your summary column.

    I want to add text animator property to selected layer, however I keep having error with the codes below.

    What is the correct code?

    Its seem text animator has different codes for accessing different properties.
    I've searched on the Adobe scripting guide and couldn't find the exact code for the property (e.g. ADBE Text Position 3D ).

    Thanks.

  • How to add text in print module in LR4?

    want to add text twice in print module, seems only option is identity plate and it cant be duplicated, any suggestions?

    yea i hear ya, but like i made a custom photo strip and another one right next to it so there are two vertical photo strips that after being printed will be cut down the middle.  i want to have text (or identity tag) at the bottom of each photo strip (again, will be printing two on one page).  Best thing i have come up with so far is dinking around with text in word (duplicate text so it would show up twice) but its kinda an issue with spacing and everything.  Sucks you cant just add a box anywhere on there and input what you want (unless there is a way and just cant figure it out).  Again, in "custom package"

  • How to add text and objects (arrows) over a PDF document?

    I am only familiar with Adobe Reader.  Looking for the least expensive Adobe product that would allow me to add text and arrows over an existing PDF document.  Not looking to edit (change) document other than add a "layer" over the original.  Basic stuff I'm sure.  Thanks for your help. 

    If you say so But I read the Original Comments and it doesn't sound like adding comments. When you adding layers as he is describing That is adding content.
    "Not looking to edit (change) document other than add a 'layer' over the original."
    But if you say Commenting then I suppose you are all correct.
