Harry's Laptimer for Autocross
Posted: Thu Feb 22, 2018 4:30 am
Here is a video of me for reference:

Currently my setup for autocross looks like this:
- TrackAddict on my iPhone facing me
- Three GoPro Hero (one on each fender, one on the front) controlled by the GoPro remote
- BT1 OBDII sensor
- External GPS
The way I currently do things is I come to the start line and hit "record" - it says "waiting for movement." Then I hit record on my GoPro remote. So they're not being controlled by my phone (you can't control three on your phone sadly). Later I go into RaceRender and import the data file from TrackAddict, the video from TrackAddict, and the three GoPro video. It takes a bit of time but I sync up the GoPro with the phone video. It sounds complicated but it works well.
What I'm wondering is, if I record the main video using a GoPro not controlled by LapTimer, can I overlay the stuff from LapTimer elsewhere? The video with my phone only records me as the driver, not the course. I make that video pretty small. I don't want the overlay to be contained only in that small video if that makes sense.
If you refer to the video above, I want to record myself with LapTimer like I do with TrackAddict, and then overlay the stuff onto the main front facing camera video like you see me doing in this video with RaceRender. I know RaceRender isn't a HLT product.
Can I do this?
