Multi text overlay on image complete with ffmpeg

Post by ace2 »

Now have webcam/time-lapse with multi overlay text.(Next time-lapse will show this)

Changed how the overlay works, before had a single line of text overlay with real-time weather data, but if the temp/wind or rain went into double digits the whole line would shuffle across.
So now I've split the actual data into individual overlays.
Removed the site name created by the camera itself and made one that looks better(top left corner).
Added site address with the same style(top right corner).

This brings the total number of text overlays is 8, this makes one very large single line execution for FFmpeg.
Cumulus takes care of the data creation of course...
