Not a watermark. But I did it on a 240p version of the file (much much faster processing speed), probably has something to do with it.

I did something similar by piping ffmpeg into a numpy array, with each frame updating the average RGB value of each pixel in the array. Here's a three-second clip from 'Logan' of a scene where Hugh Jackman's character is

Knowing that you've pressed a button is an issue, too. I have a Sidewinder gaming keyboard with a similar number of macro keys, and often the only indication that I've accidentally tapped one is that I start typing 'W' e

Even though I have a contactless card, I still prefer cash because it reminds me how much I'm spending. It's all too easy to tap away $40 several times a month and wonder where it all went.

But if all that stuff's possible, I should have the new emoji set, but I don't, because I bought my phone off the grey market so it doesn't get OTA updates. Time to grab Odin again I guess.
