How to make text run on image? [closed]
I have a photo and a text page. I want to make a video with a background image that I have and the text will run on that photo. Please help me with ffmpeg
Basic method is
ffmpeg -loop 1 -i image \
-vf drawtext=textfile='yourtextfile':x=X:y=h-t*(h/D),format=yuv420p \
-t T out.mp4
yourtextfile
is a plaintext UTF-8 file.
You will have to see how long the text takes to scroll across and use that in the -t T
option (e.g. -t 30
to make a 30 second video), otherwise ffmpeg will keep going indefinitely.
X
should be replaced with a value that represents horizontal position. x=100
for 100 pixels from left-edge. x=w-500
for 100 pixels from right-edge.
In the y expression, h/D
controls the scrolling speed. D
is the number of seconds a line takes to reach from the bottom to the top.
Consult the drawtext documentation for more details, like font selection and styling.
