Hi, The command looks like this: ffmpeg.exe -i desk2.avi -vf drawtext=enable='between(t,0,5)':fontfile='C\:\\Windows\\Fonts\\arial.ttf':box=1:boxcolor=black:fontcolor=white:x=(w-tw)/2:y=h-th:textfile=sampletext.txt result.mp4 It works except that font and fontsize stay the same, no matter what parameters I enter. When I use text instead of textfile then it works as expected. How can I select another font and fontsize when overlaying text from a file? Can I store text to a variable and refer then to that variable instead of using text="abc" or textfile=sampletext.txt? Thanks for helping, LaHu
