Text over movie

[cramaboule]

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if it is possible (and how) to put text on video on-the-fly (like VLC displays Title movie at the begining)

and of course doing that in AutoIt

Thanks in advance...

I think that may be problematic, because a video constantly "repaints" a certain area, at least that's the way i think about it, but there's a possibility that creating a window with certain flags can ensure that it stays over everything else, and unaffected.

See this example:

Hi,

 

Thanks, but I get some errors... I can't solve them...

"got some errors" doesn't tell us much, what errors?

[cramaboule]

error found... the include file was commented

BUT,... it doesn't get the behaviour I am looking for.

My suggestion: Keep looking.

[cramaboule]

how do I include my video on the GUI ? (mp4)

Why not, what is it doing that it's not supposed to be doing, or what is it not doing that it is supposed to be doing? You could try being a whole lot less vague in your error descriptions, otherwise no one has a clue what you are doing wrong.

[cramaboule]

Yes... sorry I must be more acurate:

I got the same behaviour as this post: 

 

and I tried to play a bit with the child and parent window but didn't get trough...

How to put the video underneath and the text above?

Try again, untested.
