Adding video to lap data to create overlay

Post by mjdarg »

Hello! I have been using Harry's for a few years, but it has been a few months since using it, and I am running into some trouble adding external video from a GoPro 5 to lap data to add overlays.

I manually start recording of the GoPro through the GoPro app on my phone right before the session begins. Then I switch back to Harry's for use during the session. After the weekend, I use VSDC Video Editor on my laptop to stitch the GoPro video files together into one video. Then, I upload the video to my OneDrive to get it back on my iPhone 13 and get it into the Photos App. In LapTimer, I can see the newly created video and it shows as being in the native Photos App, but I am unable to pair the video with lap data. Also, I am unable to pair any of the lap data with a video.

Did i accidentally mess up when generating lap time data and not configure the data files to accept video later? I feel like I have overlaid video in this manner in the past, but it's been a little while since doing it, so I can't say for sure.

Please check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXjVb8nWCXI for the steps to link an external video (in Photos). In case you did that already, please let me know which step actually fails.
