Hi, I just started using Sony Vegas. I've found it pretty easy to work with so far. But there's just one thing that I can't quite get. It has to do with text in the video.
I've looked in the help files, but they haven't been all that helpful in this subject.


That's basically what I want. Not really subtitles but text in general that I can put in while the film is still in motion, rather than a solid color in the background. I'm sorry if this is such a simple question. The answer has probably been right in front of me and I didn't notice. But i'd appreciate the help! Thanks.

EDIT: I appologise. I found out on my own. ^^ This can be locked now.

go to the track in which u want to put the text, then right click and click "insert text media".

generated media, on the top track, resise as needed and add effects (ie: blurs shadows and colors)

A Text Insert Procedure - takes about 4 seconds to do!

#1 - Track ABOVE your video is where you place your TEXT. If you haven't done so, then do so now. Insert Video Track above your vid track. - BOOM!

#2 - Scrub a SELECTION along this Text Track the space/time you want to have your Text running over your video. BOOM!

#3 - Right Click on this SELECTION and choose "Insert Text Media" from drop down Menu - BOOM! Done!

You now have your Text, in place, covering the time you wanted and where you wanted. Dead easy!! 3 steps!
