How to make an animated OBS overlay for FREE with Davinci Resolve and FFmpeg

And the command line I used in the batch file to convert all mov files in a directory to webm files - Copy and paste the next couple of lines into a blank text file, save it, then rename it and change the extension from .txt to .bat
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('dir /b *.mov') DO ffmpeg -i "%%G" -c:v libvpx -b:v 6M -auto-alt-ref 0 -pix_fmt yuva420p "%%~nG.webm"
