Android Petrolhead video+telemetry: how to view & export?

Post by pawliger »

I did a trial video recording while also bringing in data from an OBD and external GPS unit.

When I view videos from the top-level Videos menu, I only see the video recording but not with the telemetry overlaid.

1) How do I view a recorded video with the overlaid telemetry on the phone?
2) How do I export the recorded video with the telemetry data overlaid?
3) Is there any way I can configure what telemetry is overlaid?

Hi,

The Video List is for maintenance only and should not be used except for - maintenance. The reason I say that is that it is kind of a file viewer and manipulation on this level can screw up things. The way to access videos and adding overlays is by using the Lap List / Lap Details views. So to get an overlaid video for a lap, select that lap from Lap List and scroll to the video. You find an Overlay button directly blow the video. Press this button and you will enter LapTimer's overlay configuration. This view does not only allow you to configure and start an overlay, it allows extending the scope of overlay from one lap to many laps in addition.

LapTimer is designed in a way video management can be done with only this lap notion in mind. As an example, once you have overlaid a lap, the overlay result is associated with the new video generated. In case all laps of a session have been overlaid, it will remove the raw video in addition - as it is not necessary any more (you will be asked to confirm).
