Thread: Working with Windows Media Player and text

Hello everyone!
I'm new to BV and so far I'm very impressed with all the cool tools that are available here.

I have very limited computer know-how and I have a question about adding Windows Media Player videos to my website. I would like to layer text over the video while it's playing, but I have no idea how to do it, or if it's even possible. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do? I want to give my web page movement, but still be able to add text to the page.

I've only been on BV for two days and I'm in the process of transferring my domain name from another service, so my site isn't available yet. But when it is, please visit www.rholeecandd.com. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi and welcome to Voda

I suppose there might be some sort of scrolling text that could bounce back and forth over your video, I've never tried this ....

But .... have you considered making a movie in windows movie maker, adding the text throughout the frames of your video?

Thank you for responding!
I don't have Windows Movie Maker...I do, however, have Windows XP. I thought it was included with the XP package, but I don't see it. Is there somewhere I can download it?

hmmm .... for some reason I am thinking it is included too ... can't remember for sure, have you checked your start menu?

But here it is, you should be able to get it here .....
