Adding a URL to a video

I am trying to create a video and would like to insert a URL at the end of the movie. The movie is being used for annual fund donations. After the movie plays, I would like to insert a link where viewers can make online donations. Any thoughts and/or ideas would be appreciated.

iMac and iMac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

You would finish your movie in iMovie, maybe leaving a title with the place to click.
Then SHARE the movie in the sizes you need using the SHARE/MOVIES menu action.

Then open in QuickTIme Pro and add the link.

Here is [one writeup of how to do it in QuickTime Pro|http://www.squidoo.com/embed]

Is there a free tool out there now that will allow a link to be embedded into an imovie produced on my iphone?

I want to video a product and then at the end of the film put a screen saying 'buy it now - click here' - then that redirects the viewer to my product page - just thought this would be very useful.

And before anyone suggests wrapping the movie in html thats not what I'm on about - the vidoes I'm making will be stolen by my competitors if they can strip off the code - anyway the way forward is to have the buy it now in the back end of the video and then pick up the sales - any help appreciated.

Not possible in iMovie.

However, you can finish your iMovie and then add a URL in QuickTIme Pro.
QuickTime Pro costs about $30 from Apple, available online.

So I built the movie in iMovie. I guess I would use Quicktime Pro to edit? Any additional advise is appreciated.

Question. When I export the .txt file, what format do I use. I am not seeing anything that allows me to specify the time that I want the link to appear.
