Text as introduction

Hi there,

I´m new with Shotcut which seems to be a nice tool for video edititing.

My first task will be introduct a text area into a video. Placing the text and export the video has been done.
But I´m not able to edit the text, set appearing time and so on. Even I have to recompile the whole video which takes too much time I want to wait for simple adding text area as introduction.

Does it goes easier and faster?

You need at least two video tracks in your timeline.
With Open Other->Text generate the text & drag and drop the text section into a free space of a video track.
If you want to have animated text than the app glaxnimate is recommend.

I´m sorry missed the video on shotcut´s homepage.
Really nice… thank.

But what about the recompilation time? For a moderate video in .mp4 shotcut need about 4 hours.
I know it depends on length and quality, but do I need really to recompile the whole video when only adding a simple text introduction?

Yes

Shit happens… thanks anyway :slight_smile:
