Can you get flight data to appear on video?

Hi all,
Can you get flight data, such as altitude and distance, to appear on the video that appears on the SD card?

If you turned on Caption, in Go that will generate an SRT file to go along with the video. Select the SRT file in a video player that supports it.

For Fly app, or at least for MM1, the caption is embedded in the video.

Yup!

I have tried to turn on "closed captions", and I get nothing. Can anyone verify that this works with the MA2? I can't imagine why it wouldn't work with a newer (than MM1) drone using the same app.

It's probably there, but it doesn't seem to have a standard label so some players might not recognize it. VLC definitely recognizes it.

 

[Buel]

Yes, I used VLC:
Subtitle, Subtrack, Track 1

Other than Distance and Height, please can someone help with what the other data means?

Left to right:
FStop (which is fixed aperture), shutter speed, ISO equivalent, exposure value setting, GPS coordinates (third number may be number of satellites), distance from either home point or RC, altitude, horizontal speed, vertical speed.

EV: when in auto exposure, shutter and ISO is automatically adjusted for best exposure. EV lets you bias darker or lighter.

Wow. Just recorded this video with my iphone inbuilt screen recorder:

This is brilliant and really helpful. Thank you so much!

That third number can't be GPS altitude because it doesn't match the altitude indicator (15 and 28.8). The altitude is not AGL relative to TO but AMSL from GPS.

I asked about this discrepancy and it was suggested third number is # of satellites.

Give this a go, it's a bit fiddely to get the video to sync with the data file but a bit of practice and it works quite well ... I also suggest OpenShot Video Editor for free easy video editing :

Or is that ellipsoid height - which is GPS Altitude
