How to text overlay in video?

Post by andio » Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:02 pm

I would like to record a video and overlay text in the video, for example current gps location.
Is this possible with livecode?

Hi,
the player object has a property called alwaysBuffer. If it is set to true, other objects, such as text fields can be drawn on top of the player. If it is set to false, the player will be always in the foreground covering any other livecode object no matter how you set the layer property of that object.

Best
Oliver
