I realize that there are programs like Adobe Premiere that > would work but I believe they would require alot of time to learn. iMovie can do subtitling and version 1 is free. Version 2 is better, and costs $49. The titling options are not as slick and flexible as you would want, if you are doing a lot of this. But for small projects, the price is right and learning is easy. QuickTime Pro ($29) will let you add text tracks. Potentially multiple tracks, in different languages. Final Cut Pro ($249, educational) has extensive titling options, among its extensive video editing functions. Like Premiere, it is big, complex and expensive if subtitling is all you need. What is the final medium? Will the subtitled movies be viewed on a computer or will they be exported to VHS tape, for viewing with a TV/VCR? What kind of audience and educational goals?
