Text box in video

I just want to know if it is possible to add some sort of textbox in the videos and place it anywhere on the frame. A sort of explanation for an action.

And also, is it possible to add an image of a textbox and place it anywhere on the frame, in case the "text mode" textbox doesn't exist.

The problem you'll have with Video Factory is that it's limited to two video tracks, and what you want to do would best be implemented with three tracks (1 - video, 2 - box, 3 - text). However, you can render a clip of the text in a box, then import this as a composite track to float over the video. You might also be able to use the cookie cutter function to complete this in one step, but it might be a little bit limited in how easily you can size and place the box.

If all you want is text over the video without a box, then this is very easy to accomplish.
