Thanks in advance.

Thanks for answering my question, urbanlamb. What editor do you use to add the speech bubbles? It seems I lack the right editing tools to do everything in one place right now.

I made my own bubbles in photoshop originally and then just overlayed them on the timeline although I think they have some premade ones I just make my own blank bubbles and then type the text in. I think you can even do this with the youtube video editor.

Posts: 359 		Now I have two different ways to try. I know I can get speech bubbles in Microsoft. I am going to attempt making them using GIMP and see what happens. I am really a basic GIMP or any other photo editing user, so it will be fun to learn something new.

I looked at HitFim4 Express and did not see any speech bubbles available. Maybe they are there but they are not in the tutorials.

Thanks again for your help.

same goes for speech bubbles:

try krita its made by the guy who left gimp cause it was so hard to use and no one wanted to implement his stuff LOL now gimp lies stagnant and krita is kept up to date

https://krita.org/en/ gimp has some wierdness it always gets "stuck" and i can't complete what I am doing and they never fixed it. This is a design issue and I think this is why there was a split. Krita has no such blocking issues like that.

Posts: 359 		Thanks for this information urbanlamb. I have been reading Gimp tutorials tonight about adding speech bubbles. GIMP has just added another update, so I will look at krita instead of updating GIMP for now. I just rendered my first character skin using GIMP, and it went really slow since I am very basic with using it, and the results look better on my character then they did on the grids, that is for sure.

I can see that to be able to create what I want to on Muvizu that I am going to have to learn a lot more about designing custom things, and using editors. I would rather do this than watch mindless television though.
