Is it possible to create a video from images, overlaying the date/time taken, using ffmpeg only or maybe other slave tools, without having any temporary files? (and using low memory)



I want to prevent wear on the sdd, and the lapse series images are huge.
Rescaling is not a problem. Just the overlay of the date and time, I can't find out how I would solve that.



I thought about setting up a virtual virtual "video device" to capture, that just waits for each image to be converted using mogrify or something.



Doesn't ffmpeg support stdin input with multiple images as "a stream" ?



If the output framerate is fixed, theoretically it should be possible?






ffmpeg exif

          How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
