I believe you simply right-click on the video track and pick "Insert Text Media" or something along those lines.

Make sure you create a separate video track for the credits, I don't think it will function right if you don't.

If you wanna overlay scrolling credits onto a video, then click the "Media Generators" tab at the bottom, click on Credit Roll, and pick the one that says "Scrolling on Transparent".

Hope this helps :)

Nah I don't want scrolling credits. I just want the name of the character and VA to pop up when the character pops up.

I explained how to do that at the beginning of my post ^^;;

Just create a new video track, right-click and pick "Insert Text Media". Then just move, and size it as needed. Oh, and make sure the video track is above the original track.

Good luck ^^

On the original video track, just right-click and select "Insert Video Track" and it should insert a separate track above the original video track.
