Overlaying a Movie with Text
With QuickTime Pro, you can use QuickTime Player to overlay (superimpose) text on a specific part of an existing movie.
To overlay text:
- In QuickTime Player, choose File > Open File and then select the text file.
- Click Options, select the Keyed Text checkbox, and copy the track.
- Select the part of the movie on which you want to overlay the text.
- Choose Edit > "Add to Selection and Scale."
- Save as a self-contained movie.
The text appears throughout the part of the movie you selected. For information about adjusting how long each line of text displays, see Setting the Frame Duration of a Text Track.
