Speech Bubbles (mac)

HI

Anyone any suggestions on how to overlay 'speech bubbles' in either iMovie or FCE.

I have searched and searched but been Sunday afternoon, I think the bbq pork and Stella is hampering me.

Cheers

Have you thought about creating them in photoshop or something similar then exporting them with an alpha channel so you can overlay them.

Cheers, that's the way I think.

Further question, can I resize and move them easily on the new channel, or is it a case of making many?

Thanks again

Well I'm basing my response on FCE. It's very easy to size them and use them over and over, just treat them like a clip of video. Just make sure that you create them at a large resolution, it's better to scale graphics down rather than up.
