Question Dynamic subtitles from CSV data

Dynamic subtitles from CSV data was created by peterh337

I am roughly aware of the SRT method but can anyone here offer specific tips for Pro 13 (or MSP12 - I have gone back to it for now because Pro 13 is crashing during render - see other thread).

Example CSV data:

15/07/2016 13:44:45 1321
15/07/2016 13:44:47 1319
15/07/2016 13:44:49 1325
15/07/2016 13:44:51 1338
15/07/2016 13:44:53 1356
15/07/2016 13:44:55 1373
15/07/2016 13:44:57 1389
15/07/2016 13:44:59 1400
15/07/2016 13:45:01 1398
15/07/2016 13:45:03 1381
15/07/2016 13:45:05 1358
15/07/2016 13:45:07 1334
15/07/2016 13:45:09 1309
15/07/2016 13:45:11 1284
15/07/2016 13:45:13 1259
15/07/2016 13:45:15 1233
15/07/2016 13:45:17 1207
15/07/2016 13:45:19 1179
15/07/2016 13:45:21 1150
15/07/2016 13:45:23 1121

the 3rd column is the altitude of the aircraft. The date can be stripped. The time needs to be used to "locate" the subtitle correctly onto the video. The single altitude value needs to be displayed somewhere in the corner...

When I get that working, I would like to have a go at something MUCH more complicated:



The first two columns are latitude and longitude. I would like to insert a moving map into the corner of the video, positioned with the lat/long in its centre.

I looked into this a few years ago and got a lot of feedback in some forums but all of it seemed to involve highly specialised unix based command line tools.

Fairly obviously I will need to start with a moving map GPS program which can take as input the lat/long data and "play" the track from it, and capture the screen to either a video or (maybe better) to a series of still images with each one corresponding to each data point. There is a data point every 3 seconds; maybe I need to make that a lot finer to create a smooth video. All this I can arrange.
