Video Yearbook - how to title photos

I am making a video yearbook of my students. i try to make a title for the photos I got from I photo, but the kids name appears on all of the kids. How can I put a kids name only on that child's photo?

Please help, I have a deadline!

More information would be useful. Is each student a separate clip? If so, what is the typical duration?

I got the photos from the iphoto library and put them into the clips pane. Then I dragged them into the editing area in order. Now I want to put the student's names onto each childs' photo, like a title written onto the photos. Each photo is 5:00 seconds.

Thank you for your help with this.

Hi Schoolmoviemaker,

Are you saying that you are adding a new separate title with a duration of 5 seconds over each clip but they are still displaying all names or the first name you placed?

Thank you for your help. I had imported the photos as movie clips and not as photos. I went back and clicked on the photos button and then got the photos from iphoto. Then I was able to get titles on each child's portrait.

Now I am wondering if the deterioration of the photos is normal. They don't look so good?! any info or ideas?

What you see on your computer screen is not the same thing you are going to see on the TV screen.
You can attach a video adapter wire to your Mac and TV to preview it.

no additional hardware needed, type
