David:

I've had my own fights with the ffmpeg filter syntax. You might find it helpful to read, very carefully, the syntax documentation at <http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#Filtergraph-description>. It is dense and opaque, but turns out to be pretty correct.

It's a little bit harder to figure out your problem, because you are still not supplying us the complete, unchanged, uncut command invocation. The excerpt above does not include the token "ffmpeg.exe", which I'll bet you had at the start of the command line. It includes eight newlines, and I'll bet the actual command you entered had only one newline. It has a space at the start of every line.

So based on this incomplete invocation, I suggest you eliminate all spaces after commas. I imagine ffmpeg reads a filterchain like:

   "overlay=x=…/2", drawtext="fontsize=24:…

And interprets the comma as separating the first filter description and from the second, and interprets the second filter description as starting with a space. The space is a delimiter, so the filter name, between delimiting comma and delimiting space, is a null string.

Note that the filtergraph description in the documentation does not mention that it discards insignificant whitespace. Nor does it does not do the decent thing and mention that it treats whitespace as significant. Opaque.

I would suggest that you eliminate all spaces in your filtergraph, except for the literal spaces in the string 'Huntley Film Archives'. I also suggest that you enclose the entire filtergraph in a single pair of double quotes, instead of putting double quotes around each filter description.

My experience is that each non-trivial ffmpeg complex filter will drive you mad with its syntax and escaping at least once. Good luck.
