here's a gif that should be pretty easy to emulate

  • add custom subtitle text options (how?)
  • add custom subtitle fonts
  • add custom subtitle placement

Add -caption and -fontsize
72a4eb9 
- Add `-caption` to set a single-line caption for the entire duration of the gif
- Add `-fontsize`, which sets the fontsize for the caption or the subtitles, whichever is used
- Document this feature and give an example
- Expand the `complex_filter`s so they are a tiny bit more readable (still not very readable, try to come up with more better formatting)
- Log the bash version if we tell somebody they can't use this script

closes #8

I added the ability to have a single caption for the whole gif, but it's a serious UI challenge to have a sensible way on the command line to have multiple captions. It basically requires a whole new programming language.

Thoughts:

  • I could do it by allowing people to specify ASS files (which name will never not be funny to me, btw)
  • I could do it by allowing people to specify complex filter pipelines (parts of pipelines?) on their own
  • I could write my whole own DSL
  • I could tell people to use -v, copy the command line, and write it their own selves
  • I should provide examples of how I would do it! maybe in a document in the repo.
