Hi,
I tested ffmpeg-ai on Windows and the pipeline successfully completes script generation, TTS, image generation, and video composition.
However, it fails during the hook overlay stage:
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file: No such file: (null)
The failure occurs inside add_hook_overlay() and causes the entire pipeline to abort, even though the video has already been created.
Would it be possible to:
Add a --no-hook or --disable-hook-overlay option.
Fallback gracefully if drawtext fails.
Continue to captions/export instead of raising a fatal exception.
Allow users to provide a custom font path.
Make hook overlays optional in the configuration.
This would improve Windows compatibility and allow generation of clean videos without intro text.
Thanks for the project.
