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.

"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*???



Because I don't know any other way to insert a simple text presentation to a
movie file.

Ah.

I'd not use tex, though. A paint or drawing program which saves directly to JPG is what is what would jump first to my mind.

Or...  If you need fancier effects, kino or Cinerella.
