status: not working install instructions
Not working:
render.
What it does instead:

====================================================
cmd: imagemagick\convert.exe media\intro.jpg  -scale 1920x1080! -font media\Roboto-Regular.ttf -weight 500 -pointsize 100 -draw "gravity northwest fill white text 100,775 'Video Tutorial

convert.exe:  `gravity northwest fill white text 100,775 'Video Tutorial' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3279.
output:
b''
error:
None

Suspect: ImageMagick version. Do you know which imagemagick version does work?

tubetutor Windows install instructions:

Install Codesys latest version (Time of writing: 3.5.15.40)
Install cforge package, following the instrucitons given here
Go to [Code] and press the checkout button. Check it out to C:/afolderwithnospaces/tol,tubetutor,code.
browse to C:/afolderwithnospaces/tol,tubetutor,code/trunk/tubetutor
Make two new directories, ffmpeg and imagemagick
To get tkinter, you need to install Python 3.8.1 or higher using the Windows download from https://python.org (At time of writing, I used the Windows x86-64 web-based installer for 3.8.2). Make sure you install the GUI options, as tubetutor needs Tk8.6 or higher for gif support. Other installations such as pyenv don’t work, as thy use Tk8.5, which can’t handle .png
1. Install for all users
2. Add Python 3.8 to PATH
3. Custom instsall
  1. tick all the boxes
4. Advanced options
  1. Tick all the boxes
5. Install
Download ffmpeg from https://www.ffmpeg.org/
1. (At time of writing.. Click through to Download > Windows EXE Files > Windows builds by Zeranoe)
2. From this website Choose Nightly Build (At time of writing: 20200417-889ad93 > Windows 64-bit > Static Linking > Download Build)
3. You will get a zip file. Just grab the three .exe files in /bin and place them in your new folder "ffmpeg" you created earlier.
4. Optionally, you can put the other files in here.
5. Importantly, ffmpeg.exe should be in C:/afolderwithnospaces/tol,tubetutor,code/trunk/tubetutor/ffmpeg and NOT in C:/afolderwithnospaces/tol,tubetutor,code/trunk/tubetutor/ffmpeg/bin/
Download latest version of imagemagick from their website
1. They have like 80 options for you to install. Choose the first one, at time of writing: ImageMagick-7.0.10-6-Q16-x64-dll.exe
2. This is an installer, so run it from Wherever you downloaded it.
3. Importantly, change the install directory to: C:/afolderwithnospaces/tol,tubetutor,code/trunk/tubetutor/imagemagick (for me, when I clicked the folder I wanted, the install added an additional folder name at the end. you DONT want that folder)
4. UNTICK all of the options
5. But TICK "Install legacy utilities" (tubetutor specifically needs that convert.exe)
6. Install
Open a windows CMD prompt

cd C:/afolderwithnospaces/tol,tubetutor,code/trunk/tubetutor/
pip3 install keyboard --user
python tubetutor.py

tubetutor mac install instructions (also should work on linux):
Open terminal and type these commands:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install ffmpeg imagemagick

(actually, it is best to go and get a coffee at this point, ffmpeg is so large. You may notice tkinter is missing, as brew installs this by default)

You need to install Python 3.8.1 or higher using the MacOS download from python.org. Make sure you install the GUI options, as tubetutor needs Tk8.6 or higher for gif support. the brew installation and the pyenv installation don’t work, as thy use Tk8.5, which can’t handle .png

pip3 install keyboard
svn checkout https://forge.codesys.com/svn/tol,tubetutor,code/trunk/tubetutor tubetutor
cd tubetutor
#**wget the attachments in this comment**
wget ?? tubetutor.py
wget ?? ffmpeg.py
sudo python3 tubetutor.py

If you want to be able to view the mkv video format it produces..

brew cask install vlc

+# Tutorial Videos
+TubeTutor defines a specific video format which is especially suitable for tutorials or howtos. A video consists of the following parts:
+
+* Intro
+* Title
+* Sequnce of
+    * Scene Description
+    * Scene Video
+* Outro (optional)
+
+Then everything is mixed with a backing track. The idea is, that the video can be nearly as quickly created, as it takes you to show s.th. on your screen.
+
+TubeTutor contains some free media files, which act as a sample. Most likely you want to replace them to add your own Intro, Logos, Brands, ... .
+
+# Media files
+The media files are placed in the subfolder "media" of TubeTutor. Just replace
+
+## Intro
+The intro can either be a video, named "intro.mkv" or a static image, named "intro.png".
+
+## Title
+The tite of the video is rendered on top of a static image, named "intro.jpg".
+
+## Scene Description
+Like the title, the scene description is rendered on a static image, called "back.png".
+
+# Workflow
+
+## Start TubeTutor
+It is recommendes to place it on second monitor. If you don't have one, place then window in backround while recording.
+
+## Name the Video
+Enter a title for the video.
+
+## Enter a Description for the Scene
+Define a one-liner which describes.what you want to show in the next scene. This makes it easier for the watcher.
+
+## Start Recording
+Press Crtl+Alt+R to start recording.
+
+Note that always the mainscreen is recorded. Make movements slow, and wait at the end a bit. It ia a good idea, to point to the results with the mouse.
+
+When you finished your scene, press Ctrl+Alt+R again.
+
+## Render the video
+Press "render", and wait until the rendering finished. The result will be written to the folder "videos".
+Check the resulting video. If you are satisfied, press "stash" to archive the video sources for later, and start a new video.
+
+# Technical Info
+The tubetutor interface is based on Python and Tkinter. To render the videos, it uses the tools "ffmpeg" and ImageMagic.
+
+The tool is working on Windows and Linux.
+
+## Prerequisits

 * ffmpeg
 * imagemagick
 * python > 3
 * Tkinter

+On windows, you need to place the EXE of ffmpeg and imagemagick into the subfolders "ffmpeg" and "imagemagick".
