Any way to wrap text?

[photoguy123]

Is there any to add text to a video and have it autowrap to a given area?

This is pretty simple in a desktop app, but I can't seem to find it in SubTitle, SubTitleEx, or in searches I've done.

Thanks for any ideas...

Sorry no autowrap.

From 2.5.7 SubTitle(..., lsp=0) will enable the manual multiline facility, i.e. by defining the lsp parameter. To cause text to wrap include "\n" in your text where you want a line break. lsp values other than 0 increase (+) or decrease (-) the line spacing in approx 12% (font dependant) of line height units.

That's unfortunate, but thanks your reply Ian.

I have found the simplest way to to create tiny title utility that saves out the frame as desired, then it can be manipulated in avisynth in anyway you like.

It's a bit of a hassle to have to run a separate app, but GDI+ text support is actually pretty powerful and with just a few lines of code does many more tricks.

Oh, so that's what does it. Here I thought I was just mistaken about thinking it had been included in the avisynth core.

@foxyshadis, I really do try to not change the expected behaviour of Avisynth across versions. Generally to get access to a new feature you will have to explicitly script for it. Old scripts should continue to function as expected. :D
