Transperent PNG images on 6 matrix objects + Image zoom factor problem

Hi.
I'm very, very new to work with video, so please don't kick me strong...

At this moment i'm working on patch that is triggering images with words via MIDI.
My problem is that i want, to use transparent PNG files with one matrix which will be the background.
Well to tell simply, i don't want to have a rectangle frame of my words when they will be overlapping.
I know methods how to do something like this, but it is possible only with two files at one time.

The second problem is, that all my matrices are zooming out only to the left higher corner.
May be somebody knows any simple way to make a control of zoom out location?

have you had a look at jit.gl.text2d or jit.gl.text3d?

otherwise have a look at jit.gl.videoplane and a very recent forums post:

Thanks.
Is there any tutorials on this kind of objects?
Also as i understand, my patch is need to be totally remade?
For me, without tutorial, it is to hard...

have a look at the help-file and check out the jitter tutorial 30, its about 3dtext, but most of it should be applicable to 2dtext aswell.
