Greetings, as agreed I'm opening a thread for the feature request for a video overlay track. Or in other words, a "transparent" video track with only the gauges, to be used with other editing software. Ideally this track can be exported by itself, without exporting the video as well (currently on version 3 the .png overlays are exported after the video has been exported, but can't be exclusively exported)
Out of curiosity, here's my set up:
1 Virb Elite (my main camera with integrated GPS tracks)
2 extra Virbs for more angles (no gps tracks here)
Here's the use case:
I make videos with different angles and I use overlays only on specific parts of the video (start to finish of my activity, but not during preparation of my activity).
Since there are different angles, to keep the gauges in place for all angles, or to make a miniature of another angle in a corner is not possible with virb edit. Since it's a more "pro" feature I need to export things from virb edit and use it in Final Cut Pro X for instance. The .png overlay is insufficient as it takes too long, takes too much space and crashes the application (my videos are 2:20hrs long which would result in 252.000 png files if the application didn't crash - it'd still be unusable).
Here are the benefits:
Video compression ought to be much faster, and the end result fairily smaller (for the overlay track). - If it's exported exclusively without the rest of the video.
Easily importing that track into other editing software can provide a great level of flexibility on when those gauges should appear.
Thank you in advance, all comment are appreciated!
