Location and timestamping of overlaid videos

[drtofu]

Just upgraded to V17… terrific!

I just overlaid a lap video at home after a weekend at the track. Bug?: this new overlaid video is tagged with my location (home) and the time (now) rather than the location and time of the lap itself.

I believe you were hoping to get lap geo and time tagging running in v17, but is this the above the expected behavior at this time or is there perhaps a switch I need to flip?

Thanks and love the app!

Hi,

Just tested it again and it works as expected. LapTimer uses the recording's track and date / time, not any information in the video? In case you can reproduce the problem, please run an export of the lap overlaid using the .hlptrl format and send it to me (Harry@gps-laptimer.de). Please add a comment "date/time/track mismatch in video overlays".

Thanks, Harry

Thanks Bryan for sending your data. Actually I misunderstood your first post. I thought the location and date shown in the video overlay were wrong - but I see they are not. You have been on the metadata stored in the video I understand now. Adding metadata to videos is a new feature in LapTimer v17 as I have been asked to add these for later searching and organizing. What LapTimer does, is adding both items for the place and time you created the footage: the raw video on track, and the overlaid - where ever you create it... The second is probably no good idea - although formally correct. Instead the original metadata should be copied... I add this to my list for a future release.

Yes, that's exactly it -- I often import my videos into iPhoto (for viewing by the date of the race) and publish the videos to YouTube, so the metadata showing the timestamp and location of the lap would help quite a bit. Thanks!
