Problem with video + overlay

Post by wichtel »

hi all ,
i'm a new kid in town and i'm using this great tool for our GLP races on the Nordschleife .
After teh weekend - i have following problem.
Due to that i'm not experienced with the tool (Help function does not work on my iPhone) i made an bug.
I downloaded the video from our laps to apple iphoto and requests to delete the videos on the iphone after download.
But i've forgot before downloading to make the laptimer integration with overlay ...... therefore our videos does not include the laptime and other technical stuff ......

is it possible to reload the videos to my iphone and to rework it with the overlay function in the laptimer ?

thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

You need to configure your Photo synchronization in iTunes to replicate the video back to the Photo app. Once you have configured and synchronized, please first check you find the video in your Photo app on the iPhone. In case you find it, switch to LapTimer. Check, if the laps recorded show this video for overlay again. In case they do not, you need to relink laps and video. In any Lap's Details, select "Edit / Bearbeiten" and "Add Video / Neues Video hinzufügen", select the raw video from the Photo library. So far it is easy. Next step is more complicated, as you need to find the finishing point for the lap selected in your video. LapTimer will prompt you with a dialog you can set a "Sync Point" in. As written above, this sync point is the frame in the video matching the lap's end. Once this is done, you are ready to generate an overlaid video.
