Good fonts for video captioning?

Please recommend some good (and free!) fonts that look good on video captioning - i.e.. ones that are clear and have "boarders" around them so they are readable on clips with lots of light and darkness.

cheers.

thanks but unfortunately, it didn't really help me because I'm using a rather basic video suite and I really need a font with a border so that its readable under all colour backgrounds.

You can't do the text in white and add a black outline to the text? I know you can even do that in windows movie maker.

You can? How? It's windows movie maker I'm using.

Its a solid choice if you ever decide to upgrade from wmm .

cheers, i'll look into that at a later date, I've only just started using Movie Maker and I'm only making small youtube videos at the moment so my needs are simple at the moment :)

Just add drop shadow or stroke to the text or make the watermark in any other image editing program - hell you can do it online - Online Photo Editor | Pixlr Editor | Autodesk Pixlr

I find Aerial (probably not spelt right) is good on vids.

Its nice and clear and thick letters.

One option too is to do the text in an art package. Then save it.

Then if your vid editor supports it, put the pick onto the vid.

This I would say is a better option.

Was funny when we began using the black line behind the text, then Emmerdale on ITV began using the same font & similar style about a week later, I bet someone from ITV watches my movies :winkwink:
