What is used to superimpose subtitles onto 8mm film. Where do I get it?

Hi Mason and welcome. We discussed that ages ago, and came to the conclusion that the best way was to type the subtitles into a Power Point presentation, and screen them with a VP below the super 8 image.

Hi Mason, welcome to the forum.

If you look for the machine that can make substitling, this old post could probably answer your question.

Joe Taffis of this forum can expain further how does it work.

Hi Mason,

when you want to get the subtitles onto the film itself, you'll simply have to use your camera's double exposure-feature.
