Adding typed introduction to mpeg saved file

Post by Kadish »

I have just purchased upgrade MovieFactory 5, to upgrade from 4. I want to type out a 30 second introduction before the film starts. I looked up help and read that I should "Customize" in the "Edit" tab of the "Setup Menu Page, but blessed if I can find Setup Menu, or Edit tab, or Customize. Can someone help me?

Preferrably, perhaps someone could si,ply tell me how to set up my introduction.

You could add a slideshow to your Timeline (make it the first item in the timeline by dragging it to the front of the timeline). Then check the option above the timeline to "Use first clip as introductory video"

You can add one picture to the slideshow (for the background), then EDIT the slideshow -- and add Text to the picture. You can even add props to the still, etc... and you can set the duration of the picture to be 30 seconds...

Regards,
George
