TheGreatFanatic Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I've never edited a video before, at least not succesfully. For two god damn hours I've been staring at my mac trying to add the number 1 into the bottom left corner of the video in a 2-second period. All that I accomplished is finding out how knot to achieve basic editing skills. It's litterally called Video Editting for Dummies. What the fuck.

Zytan Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Done very little myself, can you not add a layer on top of the video that's only visible/exists for those two seconds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's supposed to, but there's a 9 button layout pad that lets you choose where the text would go on the screen. Every time I choose it to be in one of the corners, the text disappears from the actual video, but not when it's anywhere else. That's not the reason I'm stuck, though.

Or pony up the money for Adobe Premier Elements. I'ts like a hundred bucks and pretty spiffy for the price https://www.youtube.com/results?q=NCH+videopad Or if it's a one time thing, rent it for a month.

Seriously, if you actually have a Mac, and you bought it new, you should have it. It's not the most customizable thing in the world by any means, but it's made to be easy to use. But if you bought it used, you probably don't have it. It's like 15 bucks on the Mac AppStore I think; don't quote me on that tho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered buying a Adobe Premiere for a month for like, I dunno, twenty bucks? I'm not going to learn how to use this program just to tell you how. Fucking google that shit. If you can't find anything, then the program can't do what you want. Some aren't made for anything more than stringing videos together and putting music under them (windows movie maker).

willow Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Get Final Cut. I think it's free for Mac users now and it's honestly a lot easier to use once you get the basics down I'm not entirely sure how your thing works, but in most editors you should be able to add a text box over whatever clip you're editing and then move the box around to wherever you want it. that's at least how the three I've used worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
