How do you add text to your videos?

[CNC Lurker]

Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but many of you have provided videos of your CNC in action, and some have even put text on there to help explain what is going on.

I was wanting to know how did you put text/sentences on your videos, and what is the name of the program you used to do this. Also, what is a good height for the font.

Preferably a free program to do this would be better, but I'll take any help I can get.

(I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium if that matters)

PM PeteinTN as I know he uses the movie maker in 7 to do his. I don't think he surfs this forum.

Windows Movie maker is a great free software and gives you lots of options for adding text and effects. I am not sure if it comes with 7, but if you have an XP or Visa machine with it you can copy it over to it and it will run on 7. The entire executable file comes over with it.

Thanks, I have Windows Live Movie Maker. Will play with it to figure it out.
