Add text to Video - Avisynth

[spanky123]

Just wondering, is there any way to add text to a video with AviSynth ?
The text will only be a couple words such as 'My Video' and should only be shown for a few seconds (say 100 frames)

I know I could probably use TextSub or one of the other Subtitle filters for avisynth but I was wondering if there was something I could use straight from the Avisynth (without having to create an extra subtitle (ie. srt) file) ?

Thanks

How about the Subtitle Filter:

Thanks mate. It works a treat (In combination with the 'Trim' stuff). Perfect

PS. Thanks for the info on 'Trim'ing stuff in the other thread.

Here's what I found in the installed 2.57' docs (Quick reference):

Subtitle [yv12] [yuy2] [rgb32] [rgb24]

* Subtitle (clip, string text, int "x", int "y", int "first_frame", int "last_frame", string "font", int "size", int "text_color", int "halo_color", int "lsp")
* Subtitle (clip, string "text")

P.S. Just tried the second (default) version: the subtitle (in yellow) appeared in the upper left corner.
