Lesson VRC Input - Source Code and Application

VRC Input (Video Ride Creator Input) is a little example app designed to show how live telemetry recording works in the Video Ride Creator.
With this little test app you can draw telemetry for a video while it is being played.
So there is no reason to have to move all of the telemetry points by hand.

Here you can turn output on and off, select the input you wish to write the telemetry for, and use the slider to adjust the value while the video is playing.

To setup the Video Ride Recorder to use the Input app, take a look at the following settings.
First, open your video file and adjust the play speed of the file. (all files I have tried work except for .mpg’s)
Set the play speed to something you can actually keep up with. (I suggest 20% to start with.)



Now select which input you will record first and deselect all the other telemetry points so you can clearly see what is happening.
Once you have de-selected all but one telemetry line, press the REC button in the bottom left of the screen.



If you wish to actually see a bit of the line you are drawing while the video is being played you can adjust the offset during the recording like so.
(But be sure to set the offset back before saving the file!)



Now open VRC Input and turn it on, you will see that you can move a point on the screen of the Video Ride Recorder.

Press play on the video and carefully draw the telemetry you need for the input you are using.
Once the video is over, make sure the recording is off, touch up anything you need to by hand, and save the file. (Remember to put offset back to zero first!)

I really hope to see some unique input device applications made.
Whether they be for a Anolog Joystick or an Nintendo Nunchuck, with the source available, anything is possible!

Take care!

Hi @Mu-KwangKim,
There is an example app, and the source code posted.
The example app that is posted uses a slider for input, but the idea could be extended to anything really.
Full source code showing how the input works is also posted to play with and extend to anything needed.
Take care buddy!

@Ola Shaw,
Please try it with a lower capture resolution. (Somewhere in the 1080p range)
(Just to prove its working as it should)

May i see you settings for video ride recorder?
Maybe i will see something?
take care,

Hi Buddy,
That's cool you have been working on VRC input!
The slider was just an example of how you can introduce input.
Be cool to see what you come up with.

Know that with the Video Ride Creator, you can import telemetry from saved text files for videos.
So you can record the video and the telemetry and put them together in Video Ride Creator and sink them.
Then smooth and adjust the telemetry at will...

I have plans to refine the video ride side of things when i get v3 out the door.
So we can combine it then, or make a plugin system for it or something.
Take care,

But the ride would suffer, as you only have 2000 stop points, instead of 65,534 stop points.

Either way would work, as the range gets set in the Max/Min for the plugin.
Example, if roll is using 1000 to -1000, then for roll max/min would be 1000, -1000.
But if roll is using 32767 to -32767, then for roll max/min would be 32767, -32767 with this one giving the better ride.

Hope that helps,
Take care!

I have a 90 percent done go-pro 8 and above direct to ride flick app done.
I have not played with it for a bit because of v3 Alpha, but i will dust if off and try to finish it at some point.
