FX Video Backgrounds

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know how to add text to the Media Shock Video Backgrounds?

I downloaded the two free backgrounds and would like to add the fly in text; is this possible?

I have moviemaker, Camtasia, powerpoint and a few other flash movie programs.

I am trying to overlay fly in text onto the video background; not add a title to the start or end of the video.

Thanks for any help.

    Hi Everyone,
    I Did some research and came up with a video backgrounds player for PowerPoint, but it is expensive; is there another way, or program that anyone knows about?

    the player is like a plug into powerpoint and plays the video; and then you can add the fly in text; will keep on looking.

    Have a great day.

    Hi Everyone,
    Kind of answering my own question here, but you can put the fly in text into a video background by using windows movie maker.
    Just open and drop the background movie into the timeline, click on make titles or credit, click on "title on the selected clip"; you can change the text color and the animation fly in; which will work fine for what I need.

    There are also free video backgrounds out there; just search for "Free Stock Motion for PowerPoint Presentation".

    Hope this helps; and sorry for not doing the research first; before asking the question.

    Have a great day.

    Paul - you can also do it in Camtasia as well - by adding callouts and there is a 'text' callout - you can see the effects in my sig below on my video in my $5 wso - you can fade in fade out etc. pretty slick.

    I also use Windows Movie Maker as well.
