Insert Captions in Photoshop Animation

[lucienp8924865]

I am having too much fun! Thanks to the Internet I learned how to convert our old family videos from VCR to the computer. One of my many sisters has been coming every other Sunday with her videos and I have been teaching her what I have learned. OMG, it's like dumb and dumber; we have never laughed so hard in our lives. She made the mistake of calling me a genius ONCE and I can't let her forget it. Today I was going over animation tutorials, which led me to Adobe Bridge, which led me to Tabbed Documents, which led me to Saving Workspace ...

Back to my animation: We talk so much that about every ten to fifteen minutes we totally forget what we are doing. I am going to to build a beautiful container in which we will be required to put in a dollar for every time one of us says "Where were we?" I want to add captions between frames--what would be the best way for me to do this?

If you want it between the clips, just create a layer with the caption. it should add it to the current timeline. You can then drag it to the position in the timeline that you want it or stretch it so that it's longer. If you want it over the video clip, create a new video group and then create the layer with your caption. You can then drag it where you want it and make it the size you want it.

Chuck has answered your question - but I just wanted to comment that it is great to hear you are getting so much enjoyment from using Photoshop

I am the family air head and loving it. My favorite show on TV is  the Shark Tank. Both my brothers spend way too much time at some 3D printing facility instead of making me rich. How hard can it be to come up with something as crazy as the Pet Rock...really?
