For this submission.
Be warned: The subtitles are awfully chatty. Probability of being distracted from the run is high, recommend a second watching.
Curious how encoders will handle this.
--S(start,end,left,top,line1, line2, ..., lineN)
--Subtitle. Displays text
--B(start,end,left,top,right,bottom,FillColor,BorderColor)
--Box. Paints a colored box at selected area.
--R1U(start,end,left,top,text,address)
--ReadAddress. Displays one line of text and displays value at address.
--Full list of related functions: R1U, R2U, R4U, R1S, R2S, R4S
--A(start,end,left,top,FillColor,BorderColor, line1, line2, ..., lineN)
--Auto Box&Subtitle. Displays text and a text-fitting box around it.
--F(start,end,left,top,text,function[,FillColor,BorderColor])
--Function. The provided function should return needed pieces for text.format
--Additionally, I provide a lowercase letter version of each function.
--The end parameter for lowercase is relative to start, so inserting 300 there
--means that the subtitle will last 300 frames. Additionally, lowercase also
--makes the box routine ask for width and height instead of right-side and
--bottom-side.
