Are there any good video editing programs with a command line interface?

Question

I am currently looking for a video editing program which I can control via the command line. The main feature I need is the ability to add some overlay text. Is there anything out there that can do this?My ideal platform would be Linux, but I would be open to using Windows or OSX if need be.

Hello! It seems like you need a combination of media playback and also custom graphics. Usually the best way to do this is through a "VJ" software - which allows you to mix different images and cut videos in real-time without rendering. There is more complexity to this than a normal editing progam but I would look into Processing or Touchdesigner, they are visual programming tools that literally turn programmed commands into visuals.
