As Paul says you would be better off either using a karaoke file or a video file for this. It would be infinitely more flexible with better control over timing and the ability to use existing features such as cue points.

you're right scot, with a karaokee file, i would be able to move across the video file easily. and the cue point is a sensational idea.
before we put this topic to sleep, let me bring up a few important items.
for you scot, a plugin like this would be so easy to create. especially when we look at the plug ins you've created thus far. you already created a text plugin. just allow us to create multiline text. or am i asking for too much.. sorry, i get greedy sometimes.
before we put this topic to sleep, let me bring up a few important items.
- 720x480 video file (DVD Quality) is not as big as 800x600 (small screen resolution). therefor the text would come out fuzzy looking.
- if i were to create a 1920x1080 (Blue-Ray Quality) it would be big enough, but then the text would still come out fuzzy because of aspect ratio.
- fix the aspect ratio, but the video is just too darn big.
- create multiple sizes of the same one video and test it on all screen sizes until you find the right size and even then. you're using up the cpu when you load the video.
- outputting text uses very little cpu.
- can be edited at the last minute. especially if the plugin allows it.
- it would require almost no work from the dj.
- create new folder for text files.
- create text files with the name of the song as the file name
- copy past the lyrics for each song in each file.
- it is easier to work with folders, text files, and virtual dj plugin than it is to work with a video editing software.
- go find a good karaokee creating software
- compare this one to that one
- repeat previous step about 50 times
- pay lots of money for something you don't even know how to use
- creating text file is much faster than creating video files.
- assuming you know how to create the video in the first play
