    Hey guys,

    I can't just go in front of a cam and say things about a product i don't really believe in (It's like trying to sell Herbalife if you're fat) and above that, my english isn't very good. The written one is decent but the pronunciation fails me big time, not being able to say words with 'th' in the end, probably not enough practice when i was a kid. And even that feeling of your face being shown to half the internet. :-/

    Anyway, enough whining from my side. What program should i use to insert text into videos? The video must be self-made while I operate the calculator and the text should be added in a footer text box.

    Can somebody help me out? YouTube is too big of a milk cow to ignore nowadays.

    P.S. To whine some more, i have a phobia of writing articles. I never, in my entire life, wrote an article and my brain tells me "your english sucks, you're stupid, you don't have imagination". It kills me, knowing the content must be done by hand, be it ezine, squidoo, blog etc. :| I hate my thinking!

    hire freelancers to do it for you, it's not that expensive. An English or American high school kid can do the voice and an Indian or whatever can do the writing.

    hiring somebody to do the job is not an option! I live in Romania, and that's worse than India. :(

    but pffft, there's probably a program to insert text at certan moments into a video, i'll do a google for it.

    And for article writing, a friend suggested practice, practice, practice since practice makes perfect.

    Thanks anyway for your answer!

    I'm from Brazil and it's so hard to get links here. I don't know.... people are always afraid to link to.

    I was talking about 200$ average salary in Romania not permitting you to do any outsourcing! :-/ worked my arse a few days ago (8 hours straight, 3 hours sleep then 12 hours straight) and got scammed for 100$ :-/

    but to quote King Leonidas from 300 "NEVER RETREAT, NEVER SURRENDER!", could be way worse than that.

    The real historical King Leonidas got his head on a spike on the end, and that's very unhealthy so not really a good role model. Anyway even o a smal budget you can do a lot of stuff for example with $20 you can have someone write you something like 15, 400 word original articles.
    So make a really cheap budget that you can afford, and try to fish one of those out of funds native English guys or gals to do a voice of your text and pay AFTER the work is done and you're satisfied with it.
