Thanks. I'll give it a go when you get it fixed. I wasn't sure how the VJ keys
worked but I think I see what it's doing.
Have you thought about putting in Chroma Key effects or editing? Kind of like

Yes it should be possible, but right now there is a bug
which is stopping
it working. You can use the new scribbler effect, which is a realtime
effect, so attach it to a key in the mapper (ctrl-v).
Then VJ -> set realtime effect defaults, you can set the font, font size,
mode (foreground and background), colours and alpha levels.
Then select the part of the clip you want, then "r" record, activate the
effect and press "k" (keyboard grab).
Now play the selection. Go into text mode by pressing "t" and enter your
text. When done, press tab (exit text mode), and stop playback.
In theory you should see the text being entered as you entered it and be
able to render this to the clip. But in practice the text changes are not
recorded, so I need to fix this.

Well, there is a "storyboard" mode on the TODO list, which would make this
very easy. But for now you can use the keyboard to do this:
eg. insert clip 1. Use ctrl-l to move to the end of the insert. Press
ctrl-left-arrow 10 times to move back 10 seconds. Use ctrl-down to move to
the next video track. Ctrl-page-up and ctrl-page-down to select the clip,
and then i or ctrl-i to insert.
Hope this helps,
Gabriel.
