Adding Text to Videos

Post by robc »

Hi

I have created a video of a sunpath in Suncast to show where shadows will be cast. Is there a way of adding text into the video, for example the month, so that someone can easily understand what time period the video is showing them?

If you use the 'Images' tab in SunCast, you can create a series images and then stitch them together using the 'Create video' feature.
The images show the day. month and time in the corner of the image.
You can change where the label appears using the 'Options > Clock Position in Images' menu.

Unfortunately there is currently no way to add a date/time label to videos created using Model Viewer II.

I hope this helps,
