I want to make a photoshow with sub titles on each photo. I tried the Photoshow on PD 16 but didn't see anyway to do that.
So, having done subtitles on some of my videos, I went to PD 16 Full editor. I imported my photos (a little less than 6 minutes worth) and I can put a subtitle on the first photo and that is it.
I went on You Tube but nothing there on this. Also did a search on PD 16. Nothing.
Is there a way to put subtitles on photos using either the Photoshow or PD 1
Thanks for any guidance. Jack

Hello,

Not sure what "Photoshow" is, but what you are requesting is quite easy.


  1. Add all the photos you want in your slideshow on the timeline.

  2. You can select them all, and then click the Duration button to give them all the same duration.

  3. Enter the Subtitle Room.

  4. Click on the first photo on in the timeline.

  5. Click the + button to add a subtitle marker, and then input your text.

  6. Click on the next photo, and then repeat step 5.



Note that you can manually adjust the length of the subtitle (how long it is displayed, in the subtitle track.

Let me know if I missed anything or you have more questions.

Thank you David. You are a "life saver". I didn't even notice the + sign. Or, if I did notice it, I was to dumb to click on it.
I was sure it was possible because I did it on some videos years ago. I guess my age is showing (77). To old to remember.
I really appreciate your help. Jack
