Hi

I have a 3GP video which I want to edit and add some text in a white box to each frame. It's only about 1.5 seconds, and about 15 frames per second so won't take too long.

What do you recommend - converting it to something else and then extracting the frames, then re-compiling the images to a video then converting back to 3gp and hoping i have lost none of the quality? Seems a bit far fetched. I'd prefer software that would let me do it all in one go.

Thoughts?

thanks!

Dave

If you have any version of iLife, you can just import the video into iMovie, and then add a "title". Then just drag the text over the part of the video as if it were a sound effect.
