There may be simpler ones for what you want to do but I have always used
Cinelerra (
http://www.cinelerra.org/) - John
Thank you John,
I have installed Cinelerra and it can apparently load my MP3 audio file.
But now is the question, how to make the
video part from text, which is in textfiles?
Do I need a script, which displays and captures frame by frame?
Or could I use a tool, which was designed to create subtitles
for to display the transcript in synchronization with the audio?
