The server load is not a concern but it will not need to be live streaming at all, so I am planning to do the dynamic image overlay - triggered by cue points and animated by script with possibly frame-by-frame hand drawn mask - at the client side. Thinking about it, there's no need to upload t

For the first sentence I meant to say that applying an overlay at the client is fine, if you are not concerned with your stream being ripped without branding, possible cnn style news events, or captions being included. If things need to be live and targeted you will want to do things at the s
