Write your text say with tex, do dvipng, then convert the pngs into a short
movie with gimp or something else. Then attach at the beginning of your
movie.You can use any editor to create your text, including openoffice, or
scribus. If you want fancy fonts, etc.

It would be very nice to manage to do such a thing, i.e. transform an image
into a movie!  I didn't manage with gimp: how can I achieve this?

And, Ron, once converted the image into a movie, will it be possible to
attach it to the video with plain old cat?

The problem is that Arc Roca's comment about text editing makes no sense in
the context of video editing.



But, if what he says is true, that would be a solution, wouldn't it?

"tex" is used for writing text books and scientific papers.

I guess that if you need to create PowerPoint-style presentations but really hate every other dedicated presentation tool, you could use latex, dvipng, convert and ffmpeg to create an AVI file.

But *why*???
