 # This will add:
 # - a five-second slate to the beginning of the input movie
-# - Three thumbnails taken from pre-selected times in the input movie will be on the slate
+# - Three thumbnails taken from pre-selected times in the input movie will be 
+#   on the slate
 # - A lower-third text will be printed to the entire length of the outpu 
 # - Then entire output will be standardized to 1920x1080
 # - Audio output is 48000 pcm_s24le
