Hello Houdini gurus!

I'm using the Viewport Comment inside my camera's Parameter Interface to show some information about my scene, which I'd like viewable when Flipbooking.

Is there a way to lock that Viewport Comment text to the inside of the View Mask?
Currently when I resize the viewport window (making it wider or taller), the comment text stays to the top left of the viewport, getting cut off and is not fully viewable when Flipbooking.

Or is there an alternative way to embed text on a Flipbook?

Can the Font SOP be used to do something like this?

You can build your own and link it to parameters. Takes a little time to setup though.

Thank you, this works for now.

The only thing from stopping it from being 100% useable is it doesn't stay in frame when the camera zoom is used.

I have gone back to simply using the Viewport Comment as it stays in camera view when zooming and is far easier to setup than the Font SOP method.

yeah, I am hoping sideFX could make the vcomment auto adjust placement with viewport size change.
