Answer 1

You want to add a text overlay, so your best option is to pick a perspective font and use that, with the drawtext filter.

Here's an example with the font Therp. It isn't perfect but might point you in the right direction.

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "drawtext=fontfile=./.fonts/Therp.ttf:text='Perspective': x=300: y=300:font='Therp Regular':fontsize=40:fontcolor=white:" -c:a copy -f matroska - | ffplay -autoexit -i -

Result:
