avconv drawtext filter evaluates text_w as 0
I'm attempting to draw text onto a video using either the avconv command. When specifying x= for where on the final video to place the text, the 'text_w' value is evaluating to 0, rather than the width of the rendered text as it should.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04
I've got avconv version 0.8.3-4:
and ffmpeg version 0.8.3-4:
Example command:
avconv -i test.mov -vf "drawtext=
This command causes the text to be printed as if x were set to 0.
What I'd really like to be able to do is center the text horizontally using something like this:
avconv -i test.mov -vf "drawtext=
