How to Add Text to a Movie in Windows Movie Maker

Adding a Title Card

1. 
   Open your project in Windows Movie Maker.
2. 
   Click the Home tab.
3. 
   Click the clip you want to place the title in front of. Title cards can be inserted before, after, and in between clips in your project.
4. 
   Click the Title button in the Home tab.
5. 
   Type in the text that you want to appear. You'll see it appear in the preview to show how it will look in the final video.
6. 
   Use the Font and Paragraph tools to format your text. You'll find these in the Text Tools Format tab that appears when you are working with text.
7. 
   Adjust the Start time and Text duration values. BY default, title cards will last for 7 seconds.
8. 
   Click an effect to change how the text appears. You'll see a preview for each effect as you hover over it.

   1. Clicking the ▼ button on the right side of the Effects list will show more available effects.
9. 
   Insert multiple title cards for multiple pieces of text. If you want different text to appear and then disappear multiple times before the video starts, you can do so by creating multiple titles and adjusting their individual length accordingly.
10. 
    Split a clip to put a title card in the middle. If you want to add a title card to a point inside of a clip, you can split the clip and insert the title card:

    1. Click the clip that you want to split.
    2. Drag the black bar on the timeline to the exact spot you want to insert the title card.
    3. Click the Edit tab.
    4. Click Split.
    5. Click the Home tab and click Title to insert a title card at the split point.
