// Line 1: Reads as, "1 frame ago, the encoder utilization for the frame was 45%
// and the lossy utilization was 75%." For CPU-bound encoders, encoder
// utilization is usually measured as the amount of real-world time it took to
// encode the frame, divided by the maximum amount of time allowed. Lossy
// utilization is the amount of "complexity" in the frame's content versus the
// target encoded byte size, where a value over 100% means the frame's content
// is too complex to encode within the target number of bytes.
//
// Line 2: Reads as, "Capture of this frame took 22 ms. The current target
// playout delay is 400 ms and low-latency adjustment mode is not active. The
// target bitrate for this frame is 4000 kbps." If there were an exclamation
// mark (!) after the playout delay number instead of a period (.), it would
// indicate low-latency adjustment mode is active. See VideoSender for more
// details.
//
// Line 3: Contains the frame's duration (16.7 milliseconds), resolution, and
// media timestamp in minutes:seconds.hundredths format.

// If the user has requested VideoFrames have a performance metrics overlay
// rendered on them, this function copies the |source| frame and then renders an
// overlay on the copy. Frame-level performance metrics will be rendered in the
// lower-right corner of the frame, as described in the module-level comments
// above.
//
// The verbose logging level for video_frame_overlay.cc determines which lines,
// if any, are rendered: no VLOG level does nothing, level 1 renders the bottom
// line only, level 2 renders the bottom and middle lines, and level 3 renders
// all three lines. So, use the --vmodule=performance_metrics_overlay=3 command
// line argument to turn on rendering of the entire overlay.
//
// Note: If |source| is an unsupported format, or no pixels need to be modified,
// this function will just return |source|.
