fnct to create video tutorials of text, videos, figures

Description

WARNING ALL FILES WITH NAME "ZZVIDEO_"
Often in teaching figures or animations are made using matlab. Thoses videos are uploaded to youtube or another video repository. Students can easlity learn from videos by using the play and stop function of a player and often no audio is required if text pages are used. On the other hand, creating videos is extremly time consuming. This function helps to make small clips explaining topics.
The basic commands in the script file are
## Comment line
# Textpage: with following text files
# Video:
# Image:
# Title: < Title >, < subtitle >, < author-and-date >
# Figure:
# End:
# RETURN: just for debugging, stops the execution of the script
