On-screen graphics animated based on external data

PostSun Oct 24, 2021 9:49 pm

Hi,

I am just starting with fusion because for a video project I need a specific solution.
Let's say I have a video showing someone hiking. I also have a GPS meta data of this hike in text format.
Now in the final video I would like place a text title showing the current altitude during the hike based on this GPS meta data.

This is the first challenge I would like to master.

So I imagine a script which has access to the GPS file, reads this GPS data and controls the overlay animation based on that external data and some calculations.

Is this a possible scenario with Fusion?
If so, what are the keywords I should look for when searching tutorials.
Maybe someone has an example animation of this type, which I can analyse and modify for mu needs?

I am a programmer, so I am keen to go deep into this topic.

Thx in advance.

I think this or a similar topic came up on the WSL forum. If you're a programmer, that's where I'd go. Lots of specialists over there. (who also come here but for questions like yours that board is better organized)
So it's an AND not an OR.

Thank you.
It was a small challenge for a newbe to find out what WSL stands for :-). but I made it there.
Lucky I am, on the very first step towards the solution scripting a Text+ node, a bug in resolve 17.4 striked me hard.
Maybe you guys here at BMD are interested: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5138
