LEAD Video Text Overlay Transform Attributes

The following attributes are supported by the LEAD Video Text Overlay Transform through the IMFAttributes interface.

Data type Attribute CLSID Description

BSTR LMF_TOVERLAY_TEXTOVERLAY Sets or gets the text to be overlaid over the video stream. The string can be wrapped by setting the WordWrap property to VARIANT_TRUE. The transform accepts the new line sequence \n and translates it to a new line.
BSTR LMF_TOVERLAY_FONTNAME Sets or gets the font name. Use one of the installed fonts names. You can use EnumFonts API to enumerate the installed fonts.
UINT32 (long) LMF_TOVERLAY_FONTSIZE Sets or gets the font size. Possible values range from 1 to 2,000. For any value below the lower limit the default value of 10 will be used. For any value beyond the upper limit, the maximum value of 2,000 will be used.
UINT32 (long) LMF_TOVERLAY_FONTCOLOR Sets or gets the font foreground color.
UINT32 (long) LMF_TOVERLAY_BKFONTCOLOR Sets or gets the font background color.
