Building a Main with two Picture n Pic video

Post by llan981 »

Configuration:
1. With one main (IPod) and two multi-cams (IPhone & GoPro)
2. Track session of 10 laps.
3. ICloud transfer turned-off
4. Multicam files transferred to the HLT Documents folder using iFUNBox
5. Start HLT and go to one of the laps and link files to the applicable lap.

Questions:
A: Can I edit the order of one lap by reordering the main picture and the pxp and it will overlay correctly?
B. Do I have to reorder each of the 10 laps associated with the session?
C. Can I delete one of the pxp completely in one lap and will it still persist in other laps
D. After Overlay is done, do you always have to REVERT to overlay a 2nd time?
E. When I reorder the videos, then which is the dominate sound track?

Curious:
In one video overlay coming out of the PITS, it had me at 110MPH. Something must have become out of sync. Possible solutions?

Hi,

A. Change the order in Lap Details: select "Edit" in the top right and drag the individual videos up and down.
B. Hmm, please try, I believe it will change the order for one lap only (and probably break multi lap overlays in case you do not repeat for all laps is scope).
C. Removing a video for one lap will remove the link between the lap and a session video. Once you delete the last reference, LapTimer will ask you if it should *delete* the video. You can find videos without references in Video List - marked with a red exclamation sign.
D. Yes. Revert actually simply restores the links to the raw videos. The video overlaid initially will stay in the Photo app but will not be linked to LapTimer any more.
E. Always the master video (1st in list). There is a feature request filed already, but it requires quite some effort to restructure LapTimer accordingly.

This may happen in case LapTimer has not been "Cancel"ed when coming back from the session before. In this case, the positions recorded in the cool down lap are attached to the first lap of the next session. This type of first laps cannot be overlaid currently. The problem will be fixed in LapTimer 18.1.2 and later. To work around with the current version, please always "Cancel" your cool down lap before sending LapTimer to background (when back in the pits).
