How to display a text over a video

Enigma Engine's icon

HI.
I'm new to MAX and am trying to create something which is certainly more ambitious that my current skill level..

I've built a series of oscillators whose signals are manipulating video processing effects applied to a video playlist.

I want a series of quotes - which will scroll, or fade in/out, etc. - to appear over the video.
I'm having a really hard time even projecting a series of quotes onto a video screen, or *any* 'screen', though I have succeeded in outputting to the console.

Thanks in advance for any help.

E.E. - Jitter tutorials #20 and #30 are a great place to start for text on video.

Hope this helps

check out the tutorials, but also wanted to say the basics are quite simple and may not require full understanding of the tutorials to get started:
