MAKE A PROGRAM TO CREATE YOUTUBE THUMBNAILS

Write a small program to create/generate Youtube thumbnail images.
The program will read simple instructions from a text file.

c:\MakeThumbnail.exe <instructions.txt>

This program has NO user interface.
The program will run from the command line (dos box/powershell).

This program will be used exclusively to generate thumbnails for use with youtube.

The program must create thumbnail dimensions with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a minimum 640 pixels (dpi).
The default size will be 1280 x 720 unless something else is specified in the instructions file.
In other words if the image_width and image_height is not specified in the instruction file, then the thumbnail is automatically 1280 x 720.

instructions.txt:

thumbnail_file=c:\path\thumbnail.png
image_width=1280 (default)
image_height=720 (default)
background_image=c:\path\photo.jpg
background_color=red (instead of image)

If no background_image is specified, then use background_color. If neither is specified the background should default to white.

text=This is text that will appear on the thumbnail

When a <br> is found in the text, the text must continue on the next line

text_size=20
text_font=arial
text_color=black (default)
text_align=center (default)
text_outline=red

The text_outline specifies the color to outline the text. If this is not specified the text is not outlined.

text_start_position_x=640
text_start_position_y=100

If a text_start_position_* is specified then the text must start at that pixel location.
The pixels start at 0,0 from the top left downto 1280,720 at the bottom right.
This will allow for text to start in the middle of the thumbnail.
This will usually be accompanied by text_align=left.
If the text_start_position_* is NOT specified then by default the text will be centered and wrap.

You will test the program on your own.
When delivered we will test the program.
You will provide the executable and the source code.
Please do not bid on this project unless you have read and understood the requirements.
Please only bid if you have experience with this type of work.
This is a very simple and small program to write so do not bid a huge amount.
Your bid here will be a final bid, so please read this project properly and contact us if you have an questions BEFORE you bid.

Thank you
