| -compress None text.png

Why do you shadow the caption twice?
If the resulting shadow is not dark enough use a 100 instead of 70 or 50
transparency percentage.
If it is still not dark enough, darken it with a little histogram
adjustment for the alpha channel.
| convert \
| cut_to_fit.png -composite \
That does not make any sense. -compose, requires at least two images
but you have only read one image in.
Finally. You can combine all three together into one command by using
parenthesis That is what it was added to IM for.
EG something like....
convert \( ..first convert arguments.. \) \
\( ..second convert arguments.. \) \
-gravity south -composite \
-bordercolor white -border 6 \
....
