Import video files into a session so LapInsight can link them to your notes and timeline.
How To Import
Drag and Drop
- Open the Video List dock (View → Video List).
- Drag one or more video files from File Explorer onto the Video List panel.
- LapInsight copies (or moves) the files into the day's video folder and indexes them.
Import Dialog
- In the Video List, click the Import button (or right-click → Import Videos).
- Select files in the file picker.
- Click Open.
Rename Templates
LapInsight can rename files automatically on import to keep things organised. The rename template uses tokens:
| Token | Replaced With |
|---|---|
{driver} | Driver name |
{session} | Session name |
{date} | Day date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
{track} | Track name |
{n} | File index (1, 2, 3...) |
Configure the template in File → Settings → Video.
Tip: A template like {date}_{driver}_{session}_{n} keeps files sortable and self-describing.
Duplicate Detection
If you import a file that has already been imported (same size and modification time), LapInsight warns you before adding a duplicate.
File Location
Videos are stored in a subfolder of the day's folder inside your data root: `` LapInsight/ └── 2025-06-15 Brands Hatch/ └── videos/ ├── 2025-06-15_Driver_Practice1_1.mp4 └── ... ``
Moving vs. Copying
By default, LapInsight copies files. To move them instead (saves disk space if importing from the same drive), enable Move on import in Settings → Video.
