Hi

Just seen on another group a timelapse from a webcam with the weather data embedded into the video.

Does anyone know how to do this and is there a "how-to"? I currently gather images every 30 seconds from my webcam and create a timelapse each night for upload to my web page.

It seems like a really nice idea to have something like Temperature, Humidity, Wind Direction and speed burned into the video...

I am using Weewx 4.10.2 and Weewx-wdc skin. 

Thoughts?

If you run your video at 30 sec a frame that might work out for you.
