modis - Adding timestamp to video export in Google Earth Engine

Friday, 9 September 2016

I am exporting an image collection to video using:

Export.video.toDrive({
  collection: mov_EVI,
  description: 'Modis EVI-Classified Water',
  dimensions: 720,
  framesPerSecond: 10,
  region:ROI
});

How can I add a timestamp to the export frames of the video using system:time_start of each image?

Answer

Here is a code that I found from an answer from google-earth-engine developers group by Gennadii Donchyts: https://code.earthengine.google.com/6270df443326ec0d90a18838bd91c5a5

Essentially, a package has been written in GEE to annotate on ee.Image object, which then can be exported as the video.
