Question

Can a Premier Elements video be widescreen with text under?

Hell clever Adobe people.

I am in the process of creating an Elements video, but would like it to be in widescreen format ideally AND with text underneath the video, as you would see with a subtitled movie.

Are either of these things possible?

I can't see an option in the output section or in the settings to make the final video widescreen. And the video itself will have various video clips and photographs from different parts of the world so I wanted to write under each clip WHERE it was so it stands out, like a film subtitle.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Gary

    Hi Gary
    When you open a new project you can set the windscreen format in the Change Setting selection in the New Project window. There are a lot of different ways you can add subtitles. You can use the "Titles" tool, which can be a challenge, or you can take a wholly different route. If I'm in a hurry, I'll make all of my subtitles and captions using jpeg graphics. Then I'll just put them where I want on the timeline on a layer above the video and resize them to the position and size I want over the video.
