Default Text overlay MOD with color, shadow and font type

A modification of the "Overlay: Text" preset.

Adds: HSL sliders, Font slider and Serif slider (total of 16 fonts**), changes behavior of vertical/horizontal position sliders in order to be able to glide the text in-out from screen, shadow sliders and Text Input slider.

Code:
// Text overlay with color/shadow/font type
#text=""; // leave empty to choose input with slider Text Input
type = ''; //'B' - Bold,'I' - Italics,'R' - Blur,'S' - Shadow, 'O' - Outline

// Serif fonts
sans == 1 ? (
  font == 1 ? font="Gabriola";
  font == 2 ? font="Palatino Linotype";
  font == 3 ? font="Comic Sans MS";
  font == 4 ? font="Constantia";
  font == 5 ? font="Times";
  font == 6 ? font="Cambria";
  font == 7 ? font="Georgia";
  font == 8 ? font="Courier";
) : (
// Sans Serif
  font == 1 ? font="Segoe UI";
  font == 2 ? font="Calibri";
  font == 3 ? font="Candara";
  font == 4 ? font="Corbel";
  font == 5 ? font="Tahoma";
  font == 6 ? font="Arial";
  font == 7 ? font="Verdana";
  font == 8 ? font="Consolas";
);

//@param1:size 'text Size' 0.055 0.01 0.4 0.1 0.001
//@param2:font 'text Font' 6 1 8 4 1

  ) : (
    t < 1/2 ? (
      q;
    ) : (
      t < 2/3 ? (
        p + (q - p) * (2/3 - t) * 6;
      ) : p;
    );
  );
);

s == 0 ? (
  r = g = b = l;
) : (
  q = l < 0.5 ? l * (1 + s) : l + s - l * s;
  p = 2 * l - q;
  r = hue2rgb(p, q, h + 1/3);
  g = hue2rgb(p, q, h);
  b = hue2rgb(p, q, h - 1/3);
);

// text:
gfx_set(r,g,b,fga);
gfx_str_draw(#text,(project_w-txtw)/2+xpos*(project_w+txtw)/2,
(project_h-txth)/2+ypos*(project_h+txth*(1+border*2))/2);
** Tested on Windows 10

Added a text input slider.
If #text is left empty then it takes the text according to the text input slider.
Use action "Insert dedicated video processor item" to insert items on a track below for subtitles.

Changed behavior of horizontal/vertical position sliders so that text can glide in and out of screen.

Oh amalgama,

I very appreciate your latest efforts in the video section.

I will check the script right now and will give you a feedback. Many thank for the nice contributions here.

Greetings
Eli

Thank you Amagalma, that's fantastic and very helpful.

Would it be easy for you to include "Vertical out of screen" too please? ie. for classic scrolling end credits at the end of the movie, which needs to disappear off the top and bottoms edge of the screen.

For simplicity...
Why not just have one single param value for horizontal position (and one for vertical position) that covers the entire range from out of screen in each direction, rather than two separate param values governing one property which can be fighting each other? As long as the increments are still small enough, you should still get same absolute full control.

Ani-aliasing to prevent the blocky pixel edges?
Is that what the built-in blur function achieves? I couldn't see it making any visible difference to the blockyness when I entered "R" and updated code. Perhaps blur could be a variable dial parameter instead.

Thank you.

To create a pool with certain fonts is a nice idea. I just managed to put my own favorites into the variables. Its a very unique approach. Works great. Many thanks.

Check the code again, because I' ve changed it. No more out-off screen slider. You can do the off-screen/in-screen thing with the xpos and ypos sliders. The only downside is that if you change text size the position of the text changes too. So, first of all you must settle on the font size before doing anything else..

The font anti-aliasing is something that I'd like to do but I have no idea how...

Thanks! I used what is available in Win10 out of the box. But as you did, one can easily change them or make more banks or whatever.

Very nice, thank you (works fine on Linux, too).

BTW: what's still missing are controls for background color.
