To do my text I started by opening motion and making a new project at Pal DV size.
After this I then imported my 1 minute sound clip that I previously cut to be the right length. To do this I simply used the file browser on the left hand side and when I had the right sound clip highlighted I clicked "Import". By doing that I could instantly see my audio on the time line and I could see the levels when I click into the Audio Editor on the main timeline.
All that was left to do was add my text, to do this I simply used the Text tool, typed the word that was going to be spoken, made sure the size was right to its importance and placed it where I wanted it to go.
The hardest challenge with this was getting the text to appear and disappear at the right time to when it was spoken, cutting the actual clips so they appear and disappear for the right length of time was the easy part, by just clicking on a clip and dragging the ends in or out, the hard part is getting the timing right with the speech, this took a lot of time and countless amounts of playbacks! Here is what the timeline was starting to look like.
I did the whole thing bit by bit, constantly replaying what I had already done to make sure it was all in time. Here you can see the finished text with the speech.
