Adding Text With iMovieHD?

[Jambo]

Hi,

Can anyone help a novice please?

Can you add text to the whole duration of a wmv video imported in to iMovie? I had a play around but it just made like little title scenes at the beginning. I just want a line of text in the corner for the whole video which lasts a few minutes.

Can it be done?

Never used iMovie but I imagine is based on the same basic idea of all edititng programs.

In most editing software you'e do something like this...

Make a title slide with your text where you want it and set the background to 'clear' (Or 'none' or 'transparent' or whatever its called in iMovie)

Then place the title slide on a track above the video you want it on and stretch it out to the length of the video.

Render and voila

I hope this makes sence.

On a side note i'd be interested in your thoughts on iMovieHD. Whats it can and cant do etc...
