The dynamic text filter will search for keywords in the text to be overlaid and will replace those keywords on a frame-by-frame basis.
title: Dynamic text
description:
The text to overlay. May include keywords enclosed in "#".
Keywords include:
* #createdate# - Best guess of file creation date
* #smpte_df# - SMPTE drop-frame timecode of the frame
* #smpte_ndf# - SMPTE non-drop-frame timecode of the frame
* #timecode# - same as #smpte_df#
* #frame# - frame number of the frame
* #filedate# - modification date of the file (GMT)
* #localfiledate# - modification date of the file (local)
* #localtime# - current system date and time
* #resource# - resource of the producer that produced the frame
Timecode keywords are based on the framerate and position of the frame.
Time-based keywords can include a strftime format string to customize the
output as long as you put some delimiter except "#" between the keyword
and the format string and the keyword comes first. For example,
"#localtime %I:%M:%S %p#" shows only the time in 12-hour format.
Keywords may also be any frame property (e.g. #meta.media.0.codec.frame_rate#)
The # may be escaped with "\".
