One of the central ideas of our video was to have text, in the form of captions, on top of the image in each of our shots. We got this inspiration from a video similar to our own, but were initially unsure how to actually do this. In order to find out I proceeded to watch various tutorials on YouTube.
When conducting my research I discovered that I had two options when it comes to adding text to our video. The first of which, and also the easiest of the two, is adding the text in within final cut pro 7.
My other option was to export the video out of final cut pro once we had finished our editing, then once this had been done import it into Adobe After Effects. Once it is in After Effects I could add the text.
A benefit of using fcp to create the captions is that it is simpler and would therefore not take as long to do. However, making the captions in After Effects would ensure that it would look better, and it also allows us to have the text track the visuals. It will be a slightly lengthier, more complex process but we hope it will be worth it.
