This looks exactly right, but I will be checking it out tomorrow. I will probably be back to accept your answer shortly, unless something even cooler comes up, but this is pretty awesome.

<p>I recently created a video which has associated data. Like position, altitude, direction in another file. I know the time offsets for each event and would like to put this data into the video as text. Is there a way without changing the video text areas manually?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
