Titles for Interviewees

[grant-o]

I'm editing together some interviews and I've found that the titles for the interviewees' names are getting lost in the video image. In one instance the white titles got lost in the white shirt of a subject. How can I get it to stand out? I've seen plenty of bare white titles that seem to work.

A border around the font, or a semi-transparent background, like newscasters have.

Like Lake said a stroke or a background behind the type will do the trick. I've had good luck with a slight drop shadow as well.

I almost always use a black storke around white text. It seems to do the trick if you don't want to use a background.
