making a dynamic video with just text and photos to a thematic score
ie soundtrack with lots of strong passages
I need the text to not only appear on cue (easy)
but I need to control fade in/out on ,multiple words/phrases
problem is when I open the text editor - I only see the time line for the text
NOT the whole video - so it is real tough to match things up

any ideas ???

Not sure why you need to combine text editing and timeline....

In the edit text box you can change text properties (font, size, color), in the preview you can see the video scene to which it will be appeared and control fade in/out areas. If you want to change duration of the effect (extend or reduce it), you can just close editing text box and extend the effect on timeline.

I made a video of text and pictures with very dramatic (epic) music
I made the words pop in time with the music - which was VERY hard to do
(because when you open the text box - you only have it OWN time line - not the time line of the audio
just dragging the box while in full time line mode is not good enough

please see my video here

btw - I tried 7 other video editing programs
if you add the features I suggest (list coming soon)
- you will be the ONLY one to have it

Ok, I see what you mean. Thanks.

I will suggest our developers to add such feature.

To: Vlad

I am making a master list of suggestions
'all should be easy
(I also am a programmer)
then it will be THE best video editor
(already very very good ! )

We will be glad to receive your suggestions.
