I have started using Pitivi in my Ubuntu 12.04. Now I am able to make or edit videos using it. Can anyone tell me How I can insert text in videos using Pitivi? (Like the way Title Card comes in movies with different text transition effect)

You can use png images, I have used Gimp in the past to create text images.
The process is more less like this.
- Start up Pitivi
- Import the PNG-picture into the media-library
- Drag the picture into the "track"-view
- Import your video and drag it into the track-view too (below the picture).
You should see your text in front of the video.
Adjust the track-length of your PNG-resource to match the desired duration of your text.

thanks @CoalaWeb for your reply. Yes it works. But actually I was looking for some short of transition of texts through the screen, like from down to up transition.– DoonOct 29, 2012 at 5:28

Ah I'm not sure about that but I'll do some research and see what I can come up with.– CoalaWebOct 29, 2012 at 7:09
