Show time of day in render I am using the lighting sun position add-on in Blender 2.82 to render an animation. I want the viewer of this animation to see on which time it is. I only want the hours to show.

So it should be a kind of "timer" which starts at 09.00 in the morning and ends on 20.00 in the evening. And just reads the time values in the lighting sun position add-on.

I have no idea how to start with this. I have been searching for compositing settings, but i read there are no options for text in the compositing nodes.

I have also been searching for other methods and often see python codes. I have no idea how to use them, and they don't seem to do what i want.

It seems such a simple thing that i am thinking that i miss something very obvious.
You can use the metadata to do that:

Go to the output properties and to the metadata section.

Then choose the date and activate 'burn into image':



You can obtain something like that:



That can also be customized using Python as described in this answer.
