HI Carl, not sure I get it, I tried with : [code] ffmpeg -start_number 284 -i /home/efesto/Desktop/A010C009_101029_L1O3/A010C009_101029_L1O3.%4d.dpx -vf "[in] drawtext=fontsize=40:fontcolor=white:fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf:x=(w-tw)/2:y=(h-th)/2:box=1:boxcolor=black@0.5:text='two>lines'[out]" out.mov [/code]
but the text still remains on the same line. Thanks. L. Ps. -v trace was just badly placed. 2015-05-16 10:40 GMT+02:00 Carl Eugen Hoyos <ceho...@ag.or.at>: > lorenzo angeli <lorenzo.angeli <at> efestolab.uk> writes: > > > -v trace > > WHY? > > I don't know if it helps you but the following > works as expected (the source code does not > search for the string "\n" but for the actual > carriage return): > [code] > $ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i "color=white:d=10,drawtext=text='two > > lines'" out.avi > [/code] > > (The "> " is printed by my shell when I hit "Enter" > after "two".) > > Carl Eugen > > _______________________________________________ > ffmpeg-user mailing list > ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org > http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user > -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Efesto Lab LTD, Chancery Station House, 31-33 High Holborn, London WC1V 6AX ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.efestolab.uk skype: lorenzo.efestolab phone: +44 7961031018 _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
