Dear Ana You have several options for getting subtitles on to video. The first an cheapest is a title generator. This is a simple keyboard-like device which connects between the source and record machines. Videonics makes a unit called a Titlemaker, and JVC makes one called the JX-T66. Prices range from $300 to $500. These are limited in fonts and sizes, but will get the job done. Visit your nearest shop that sells video and camcorder accessories - they should be able to help you. Your second option, if you already have a PC with VGA card, is a genlock card and titling software (these usually come together, and could cost about $800. A genlock is a device which synchronises the computer and video signals, allowing you to overlay graphics or titles over video. A well-stocked computer shop, perhaps specialising in multimedia, will be able to help you. Be aware that you should be able to get relatively simple software that runs on a very basic 286 computer. You probably don't need all the fancy bells & whistles that they will try and sell you! I personally have an Amiga computer with which I do video graphics, animation and titles. The Amiga is ideally suited to video work, and because it is slowly becoming obsolescent, can be bought relatively cheaply, with lots of software available in the public domain. I believe you can pick up an Amiga computer with genlock and software for about $2 000. Note that the Amiga is not IBM-compatible, but its operation is very user-friendly, with a Windows-type interface which is simple for new computer users to relate to. Perhaps you could also go and have a look at how local video production companies, particularly in the lower-budget area, works. Or perhaps there is a small TV station, or College video unit, who can show you what they use? I hope this is of use to you. Best of luck with the project!
