Hi Guys,

I am recording a transcoded video in Wowza which is split into 30minute chunks. Is there a way I can burn the clock and date on the video which is being recorded?

Thank you.

Hello Rohan,

There is a way of adding dynamic overlays on top of your live stream by using the Transcoder addon. In order to add an overlay of a clock, you will have to write your own custom code.  
Please take a look at this article as a good example for adding overlays:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-add-graphic-overlays-to-live-streams-with-wowza-transcoder](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-add-graphic-overlays-to-live-streams-with-wowza-transcoder)

If you need help developing your custom module, you can post a request in the Find a Consultant section of this forum:
