Chatterino2: Render chat to video

[ldesgoui]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to be able to stitch chat to the side of VODs with as little human assistance required as possible

Describe the solution you'd like
Chatterino2 seems like a decent codebase to implement this with, chat rendering is already implemented, rendering widgets to pixel buffers is available through QT (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#grab), there might even be possibility to do it headless (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qoffscreensurface.html), saving frames as images would be Good Enough

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using OBS to record Chatterino2 or Twitch web would be hard to script I reckon

Additional context
I expect to implement this feature myself
I'm mostly looking for feedback and/or ideas

Easiest way is probably to require the user to have ffmpeg in the path pipe it into ffmpeg with a pipe (stdin/out)
