How to use Pitivi to insert text in video?

Solution 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.
