Can't get overlay to work. Please help!

Post by robbyracer82 »

Hi Harry and other users,

I'm having a hard time getting the overlay to show up on my videos. I'm using an iphone 6+ as my recording device mounted to my dash. The video footage and the laptimes are awesome! I just can't seem to get the overlay working. When I go into the video analysis, it says the type of video is overlaid. So I'm assuming it should be working? I'm sure it's user error but I couldn't really figure out the manual and I'm afraid to experiment as I don't want to damage my videos. If I can provide more information, just let me know, I'm sure there is some option I'm missing.

Thanks All!

-Rob

Well, that's the reason I have added a warning when changing the video type in Video List / Video Details ;-) To get back to consistency, return to Video List, select the raw video, and change the video type from Overlaid to Raw again. Changes to this selection just add a marker or tag to the video. It makes LapTimer believe it is of the named type.

Once this is done, do the overlay as described in Illustration #9 in LapTimer's Quick Reference ;-) The key word you should not ignore here is "Lap List".
