Noel: >I need to be able to place text on my scenes on a VHS tape. Is there a way to do this with out digitizing the video.< You'll need some sort of genlock, like the one John suggested. If you're looking for a cheaper solution (though not as high-quality, it can do the dirty deed), the Studio Magic card, which you can get at your local computer accessories store for around $450, can access any TrueType fonts on your Windows system and output them to tape (and does a bunch of other things besides). (Jeez–you'd think, as much shilling as I do for Studio Magic, they'd pay me for it or something! <g>) Hope this helps, Tim Liebe
