I have vegas 5. I am a bit of a novice, but have programming experience.
I want to create a script to do the following:
1, Create a file containing a string of text composed of N word tokens (or it may be an Excel file where each word is placed in a seperate cell).
2. start a certain time in a particular video for a new text track (Time 0)
3. Generate a first generated text block for the track at Time 0. The text block has a time length T-length. The text value will be taken from the first token/cell of the file. The text font size will be set, as will the text placement (bottom center, etc).
4. increment the file token/cell number and text block number and advance to Time 0+ text_increment.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 until text file is empty (or until max_num_cells reached).
The end effect will have one word per generated text block.
Any comments on this? Anyone know where I can get started on this project? Anyone know if this script is already publicly available?
To let you know about my project: here it the gist of it:
THe video will be a composite of videos uploaded to Usenet by pr0n websites that frequently post videos to usenet in order to attract customers to their websites. I plan to leave their own promotional text in the video snippets, so there they would not mind what I am doing.
Then I will add my own text for the entire video, My own text will run for the entirety of the video. I will add a soundtrack of myself reading the text that I add. I will mix it in with the moans of the subjects.
My text/voiceover will relate to politcal ideas that are totally unrelated to the pr0n video that is running alongside.
Once I have my completed video/text/soundtrack completed, I will upload it to peer too peer networks for sharing.
I have a theory that as broadband gets cheaper and more widespread, more people will be getting their video entertainment off the web, and of course pr0n will be as popular as ever. So a good pr0n video (and with no real copyright/MPAA/RIAA worries) should propagate all over America in the coming years. And that political message will be widespread.
Also, looking around on other forums, I see mention of a "text crawl" feature. That sounds like it would be a lot less work. Does anyone know if a text crawl would be appropriate for this project? My total text could be several hundred words. Anyone know where I could find out about a text crawl?
