Here is an example: melt colour:red -filter watermark:"+line1~line2~line3.txt" composite.progressive=1 producer.align=centre composite.valign=c composite.halign=c producer.fgcolour=blue The "producer.*" properties are passed to a pango producer and the "composite.*" properties are passed to a composite transition. http://www.mltframework.org/bin/view/MLT/ProducerPango http://www.mltframework.org/bin/view/MLT/TransitionComposite ~BM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
