Most of users want to make Flash videos customized by adding image, text and subtitle they like. It seems hard to find a perfect program to meet that need. Instead, the best way appears to use a combination of programs, which can first convert your home videos into Flash and then add the image, text and subtitle to match your own video exactly. Luckily, there is one program that combines many of the separate apps into one, thus making it simpler to use.

So here's a guide that will teach you how to add the functions mentioned to videos for free and hopefully make you satisfied.

Now, let's get started to enjoy the terrific experience!
