Hi I have a series of videos of moving particles (multiple particles per frame / movie), and would like to add a circle around each particle and add a label. At the moment I am using a script in R to plot, for each frame, these circles and labels into a png with alpha channel, combine the pngs to a movie, and overlay this movie to the original movie (see the thread 'Overlay images to frames in video’ for the background).
Now I realised, that the actual plotting of the labels takes up nearly 40% of the time of the R script and I would like to make this process faster. I have found “draw_text” (https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#drawtext), but I have no idea how I could do this. We can assume that I have a text file with the following columns: FRAME: the frame on which the labels and circle should be plotted X: the x-coordinate Y: the y=coordinate LABEL: label for the point Also possibly important, there are multiple (many) particles for which circles and labels need to be plotted on each frame. I also found the “sendcmd” (https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#sendcmd_002c-asendcmd) but I do not get my head around how I can combine these two. Any help appreciated, Rainer -- Rainer M.
