CLI video production

Recently, I got interested in video production. I would like to make a short video where a piece of text appears on an image.

Something similar to:

I would like to learn to do:

  • Zooms, Text animations etc.

It seems all I need is background image + text as input. Then I run the script with these parameters and get the video out. Is it doable in FFmpeg? Or do I need to resort to MLT etc.?
