Added support for adding photos to videos

Added support for gauges and graphs of OBD-II data
Added support for gauges displaying HRM-Run's running oscillation and stance time data
Playback now stops at final frame. Playing from this point restarts the video from the beginning.

No trouble for me with this image on Win 8.1.

When it crashed, did it give you the option to report an error to Garmin?

It is a nasty crash, The window where the image should be displayed opens very briefly, in black, and immediately the whole computer reboots.

Here is a video of the import from the camera and the problem when opening the image

GPS sync

I am so frustrated trying to sync the GPS with the video. Is there a secret to making this work? I would really love to add speed to a motorcycle video but it is not very credible when you stop and it still says your going 15 MPH. I have tried to use the GMtrix sync and even if I match the video frame to a location it is not even close. Extremely frustrating!

Thanks

No, it seems to be a Bug. I read several pages back, that it works flawlessly if you´ve upgraded from an older Version to 3.0.1. On a fresh install, it won´t work.
It annoys me, too. I did my first video on a motorcycle and the metrics doesn´t change. The gauges show the startup parameters and that´s it.
A really cool editor, but thats the most important part of it :-/

Features/Bug vote

Is there anywhere where users can vote for priority of bugs and features? I do think this is a superior release (bugs aside), and sure would like to contribute with usecases with the community as well. Great work so far guys!

File size limit in importing and exporting? I'm on Windows 8.1

Hi Falagar,

I just got a new desktop which exceeded all system requirements. I'm on windows 8.1 64 bit.

There first thing I did was to combine all my cycling videos. Two virb cams, front and rear view, so I did picture-in-picture using Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the same resolution and bitrate settings. This resulted in a 6.2GB (2.5hrs) single file.

Now I was expecting no issues importing this single file t Virb Edit 3, but no success. I installed 2.9.2 and I still can't import this 6.2GB file.

Why are there still file size limitations? It makes it a lot easier to deal with one single file. I record my cycling rides continously and its usually more than 2 hrs.

Thanks and regards,
Lukman

importing video's thre wrong way

I've updated to 3.0.1.0

Now I found some things.
1 - the map is not shown in the preview window, so capuring the map while the video is playing is no option anymore.
Maybe I have not found the option to put te map in view again.

2 - the video's are put on the timeline in reverse order.
I started with an empty library and imported clips from the VIRB Elite.
(the clips are shown with the newest on the left)
I used "select all" to select all clips.
Than I selected (right click on the first clip) create video.
I changed the name of the video to be created and clicked on "create video".
The video is created but on the timeline starts with the newest video and ends with the oldest.
Sorting the video's with the oldes first looks to me a more logical way to get a less confused timeline.

3 - in the edit view the thumbs are also shown newest first where first (oldest) first would be expected.

4 - in the edit view the thumbs names are not fully shown, the prefix is there but the last (different) part is not shown.
Maybe a popup showing the full name could be added.

5 - I cannot move the slider on the timeline by moving the red dot on the map (worked in 2.9.2)

6 - the map disappears when I click on the timeline.

7 - the red dot on the map does not move with the (green) timeline cursor.

6 & 7 prevent me from using the map for finding the correct splitting and trimming point.

8 - On the selection Overlays the tabs (template, gauges...) are almost unreadable, black text on black background

9 - timeline thumbs are not created for some of the clips, when these are split thumbs also are not created.
checking if thumbs are created after a project (movie) is (re) opened, and creating thumbs at that point if thumbs are missing would help.

10 - I'm missing a timer that tells me how much seconds I am into the clip (in 2.9.2 I could see how long a scene would be)

Maybe I'm overlooking things, if I am, please point me in the right direction.

Crashed like this are usually driver issues. Do you have the newest driver for your video card? Check the manufacturer's site directly (ATI, nVidia, Intel).

What videos and GPS data are you using? Is this from VIRB Elite?

If you have a way to share the video and GPS data I'd love to take a look.

I think we've narrowed down the non-changing gauges issue, and will roll out the fix in 3.1. What kind of videos are they? Which mode? From which camera?
