I don't think there is any way for you to get the value of "textWidth". I can think of two options: 1) Specify a fixed width font (courier) so that you can manually align the text by adding spaces in front of words. 2) I suppose Dan was right about you wanting to specify separate text and geometry alignment. In my opinion, this is an esoteric use case and not worth adding to the dynamic text filter (especially if you aren't using the keyword substitution feature). You should just build the producer/transition combination yourself. Consider this melt command: ./melt colour:blue out=50 -track pango:"+lineone~line2.txt" out=50 align=right -transition composite in=0 out=50 halign=left valign=center geometry="0/0:50%x100%:100" You can change the pango align attribute to be anything you want, as long as the composite halign attribute is always "left", the leftmost pixel will be at "0". ~BM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
