Hi, I am a programmer and want to make the following extension / plugin to Vegas:
I want to overlay text on the video.
I am not going into details here, it is the principles I want to discuss.
Please do not tell me that any existing plugin can do the job, or that I can use a script to do the job. It is the development process itself that I am interested in.
The questions are:
* Can I do this with an OFX plugin, I do get a device I can draw text (and rectangles etc. for that matter) on?
* Is this the forum to discuss OFX development?
I have written extensions in C# for Vegas before, no problem. But as I understand, I do not get access to the text property of the Text media generators, using extensions. So that is the reason I am looking for OFX.
And while am am asking, does anyone know of good web sites explaining how to write Video OFX plugins? Tutorials? Getting started quick?
