Hmmm. This: https://youtu.be/-NB1JzR5aCQ is the result of: ffmpeg -pattern_type glob -i '*.jpg' -vf "split [tmp][main]; [tmp] crop=iw:ih*0.05:0:ih*0.95, drawtext=text='%{metadata\\:DateTimeOriginal}': fontfile=/System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.ttc:fontcolor=white: fontsize=72: x=(w-text_w)*0.01: y=(h-text_h)*0.01 [text]; [main] tmix=frames=10:weights='1' [blend]; [blend][text] overlay=0:H*0.95" -y CombLapseWithTimeStampAndTmixSplit.mp4 which approximates the result I'm trying to achieve, but it's cheating, because it's making a separate stream of the bottom 5% of the video with the drawtext overlay, and then overlaying that on top of the blended frames. It appears to work only because there's nothing much happening in the bottom half of the frames. If there were any significant bee activity in the bottom 5% it would be apparent that that section is not getting tmixed. Can anyone help me construct a filter chain that will overlay the internal timestamp in an arbitrary position on top of the blended frames, after tmix has been applied? _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
