When specifying x= for where on the final video to place the text, the 'text_w' value is evaluating to 0, rather than the width of the rendered text as it should. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 I've got avconv version 0.8.3-4:0.8.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 and ffmpeg version 0.8.3-4:0.8.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 Example command: avconv -i test.mov -vf "drawtext=fontfile='/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf':text='test text':x=text_w:y=50:fontsize=24:fontcolor=black" texted.mov This command causes the text to be printed as if x were set to 0. What I'd really like to be able to do is center the text horizontally using something like this: avconv -i test.mov -vf "drawtext=fontfile='/usr/share/fonts/truetype /ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf':text='test text':x=(main_w- text_w)/2:y=50:fontsize=24:fontcolor=black" texted.mov SuperUser conversation: http://superuser.com/questions/447645/avconv- and-ffmpeg-drawtext-filter-text-w-evaluates-as-0-in-ubuntu-precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav/+bug/1033320/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
