insert text frame into avi

[cross_syd]

hi guys. I want to insert some text frame into my video. It is like a 5 seconds video showing some text (for example day 1: at the beach). I tried to search the forum, but i don't know the terms for this process, so i did not really find the result im looking for. Please help.
thx

Use an .srt subtitle, which is only a few lines of text - you can easily type out the start and duration of the message.

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:6,000
Day 1: At the Beach

Paste that into a new text document and save it with the same filename as the video file but with the extension .srt and as long as you have a subtitle display software (such as VobSub) installed it will display with the file. You can also mux it into the video as a stream and save it as an .ogm or .mkv as one file.

yeah but what i want is a black screen, displaying these text, not really the subtitles though. is it possible?

you can do it with avisynth, abstractive example:

clip a = 5s black (must be the same as clip b) + your subtitle
clip b = your video
return a+b
