                       l.layer = i   --put every copy at a layer equals to the loop variable

s",x,y,i*5,i*20+10,62-i ,syl.text_stripped)

will , it's hard to say it in english }{

I just chnge the color of each copy & tried to make change for (red) to yellow
by using this format (1c&H%02X%02XFF)

the red chaneel is (constat) but blue &green are change throw the loop ,
I just add\multiply to the loop variable to icrease Blue & Green , so the color goes from red\orange\yellow
%02X convert loop variable to Hexadicimal

for \clip , it clips the text form the center (62 atthis case ) then decrease the place to clip by the loop cariable (62-i) .

oh yeah , if wish to move the text , change that two copies with this

l = copy_line(line)
l.text = string.format("{\\an8\\move(%d,%d,%d,%d)\\1c&H0000 FF&}%s",x,y,x-50,y+50, syl.text_stripped)
l.layer = 0
table.insert(output, l)




for i = 0,15 do


l = copy_line(line)
l.text = string.format("{\\be1\\an8\\move(%d,%d,%d,%d)\\1c& H%02X%02XFF&\\clip(0,0,640,%d)\\t(\\clip(%d,%d,%d, %d)}%s",x,y,x-50,y+50,i*5,i*20+10,62-i ,0-50,0+50,640-50,(62-i)+50,syl.text_stripped)
l.layer = i
table.insert(output, l)

I know it's Ugly~ and Unreadable , but it works fine(will... the movment is really Ugly...)

now you just have change the (x)&(y) values as you like & then change the 4th clip parameter to the center of the word position (I get it manually coz I don't know a way to get it with Auto\Lua >< jfs may help us with this,,,nooop I don't think he'll did ...Auto3 is dead for him )
