Synchronising data logging and video footage

[Sergio Sousa]

I am looking into synchronising data logging from WinTAX 3 with video footage recorded on a Go Pro. The idea is to have the footage from two drivers side by side and the data as well.

Which software would you recommend to do so?

I use Dashware (tried it, liked it, bought it) and am extremely happy with it. Then again, I also use stuff like Sony Vegas Pro 11 (bought that too) and avs4you (again, paid in full).

I tried RaceRender but wasn't as impressed with it as much as with Dashware. RaceRender does allow additional camera footage, something Dashware does not. That's something I tend to fix with either Sony or AVS (pro-production sort of)

As I still need to do some onboards from a previous race-meet, I will see if I can make a screencapture of the process, to give you an idea ....

Dashware or Trackvision. Both are good, but Dashware has a slightly easier way to build dashboards.

I thought RaceRender was horrid, but some people seem to prefer it.

Liked Dashware. Was going to buy it on pay day but might have a quick play with trackvision first.

Wintax 4 USER now does video sync.

Still working on that ... got held up.

Tried Dashware with some real data. Easy to use (once you know you have to tick a box to get the dials to work). Nice professional looking product with a good range of gauges. It also has a pretty good maths functions.

Tried RaceRender, fairly easy to use but the free version is a fairly limited range of gauges. Lots of extra features in the area of 'picture in picture'. Test example below -

Trackvision next.....but it looks a bit pricey compared to the above.

Tried Trackvision. Probably the best output visually but crashed a lot, harder to use and a lot more expensive.

Will probably go for Dashware, doing picture in picture is pretty easy with most video editing software.
