Help with Premier 6

I use that, obviously, and I was wondering if there was a way to make message bubbles, like in a comic book when someone says something.

Draw one in your favorite image editing software, then import the image into Premiere.

If it's too large picture wize (not filesize) then just make it smaller in your image software?

If you are have a problem determining what size your video is look in the video settings for something like 640x480 or whatever this means that your image is 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels high. So when you are drawing your bubble it has to be smaller than this.

You could just export a frame from your video and edit the bubble on top of it and then delete the background later in the image software or with an image mask in premiere if you want.

Draw your bubble on a transparent layer in photoshop or whatever. Import that layer of the image into premiere and set tranparency to alpha. If it's to big use Transform to change it's size to whatever you want. I suppose you could change size with motion settings as well but I find transform gives better control of how it looks.
