Does anyone know how to add a hyperlink in FCP. For example if I have some text in my video I would like the watcher to be able to click on it to take them to that specific website.

Can't be done in FCP!

Can be done in DVDSP when you make your DVD but there is limited success with it.

You can also add hyperlinks through Flash. I guess your best bet is to export out of FCP into DVD Studio Pro or Flash.

What's your output going to be? Web or interactive DVD?

Hi
QuickTime has allowed this, and many more 'interactive' functions. since version 3 and 4. The best way to unlock the facility is to use Totally Hip's Livestage:

Adobe's GoLive also has a multi-funtional QuickTime editor to allow interactivity.

Apple document advanced QT use on their website:

"HREF tracks can make the movie’s display area into a clickable link that points to different URLs at different times during playback."
