Texts and labels > Labeling videos

Since videos are often displayed for longer than images, a permanently visible label is not always useful. Unlike images, videos therefore have no built-in captions. If you would like to label a video, use the Text Object in a separate text track. In order to get a text track, you must first of all insert a Chapter.

1. Inserting a Chapter for multiple tracks

Drag the Chapter into the Timeline

Once a text is to be superimposed over a video, a second track is necessary. You achieve this with the Chapter Object.

Drag a Chapter Object from the Toolbox into the Timeline.

2. Adding a video

Adding a video to Chapters

Drag a Video Object into the Chapter. Select one or more video files.

3. Inserting text

Inserting text under a video

The text track will be superimposed over the video In order to do this, insert in the Timeline, under the inserted video, a Text-Objekt. Drag the Text Object onto "Drag here to create a new track".

In the Properties section, enter the text into the text field.
