The learning curve for me has been steep and again I need some help.

I am streaming live a wedding in Florida on the 14TH of October and wondered if someone could help me. I need a template or something were i can make a png file and put the attendants names in an individual file for each person so i can pull them up on Vidblaster as they walk down the isle. I know you all don't use VB but if you know how to build a template or have something you can send me that all i have to do is change the name and same it would be great.

I have paint.net and gimp...in win 7

simple simple simple thats what i need

Thanks for reading and if you can help as well thats even better.....

Here's a youtube tutorial on making lower thirds in photoshop. Maybe some of the same functions are available in paint or gimp.

There are also some Stock image overlays you could buy and use. Have you considered doing that?

[William Thomas]

ya i have tried them but i havent been able to find one that combines a pic and txt outside of the picture. now lots of people have said to me well you just have to do this or that but its not that easy for me. never have gotten a grasp on the photoshop, final cut, after effects and those sort of programs. all in good time I guess. shit I came from the days of pneumatic controllers and 1970 analog controls business....still learning...i will keep looking for that help i need...

thanks everyone

It takes time to learn. Have you considered hiring someone to do it for you ?
