Hello,

How do I add text to a still image? I would like to be able to move the text to whatever point in the image I would like.

I have seen the Titles option, but this only allows you to place text in the bottom right and top left hand corner of the image.... and if you trying and space/tab the text across the image, it stops moving horizontally around half way across and starts to be pushed up/down...

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

James
