Hello,
Thank you very much for the heads up on this. I will go ahead and recompile.
In the meantime I read around a bit and found a work around by using ffmpeg
instead of ffmpeg6. The necessary features for what I needed are apparently
compiled in by default so it just works out of the box.

That error message is correct; there's no `drawtext' filter compiled in:
$ ffmpeg6 -filters 2>&1 | fgrep drawtext
$
Which points toward an issue with the drawtext filter. I have
checked and my version of ffmpeg6 is compiled with the
--enable-libfreetype flag by default, which is required for the
drawtext filter:

According to the current docs. you also need `--enable-libharfbuzz' now:
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#drawtext-1
Can you recompile with libharfbuzz added, then tell the pkgsrc folks if that
works?
