Syncing Video to Telemetry

Align video with telemetry data. Requires sign-in.

When you're comparing two videos — or aligning a video with imported lap data — the clips need to line up so the same moment on track shows at the same time on both sides. The Player offers several ways to do that, from automatic to fully manual.

Sync options

  • Soft Sync — aligns the two videos at the playback level. Quick to set up and

good enough for most side-by-side review.

  • Motion Sync — aligns frame by frame using the motion in the picture, for the

tightest alignment when you're studying small differences.

  • Manual nudge — each side has nudge controls to shift it a frame at a time, so

you can fine-tune the alignment by eye after an automatic sync.

A reliable workflow

  1. Find a common reference both clips share — a lap start, a hard braking point, or

the moment the car crosses a kerb.

  1. Get both clips roughly onto that reference.
  2. Apply Soft Sync or Motion Sync to lock them together.
  3. Nudge either side if needed until the reference matches exactly.

With imported lap data

If you've imported a telemetry file (see Importing Lap Data), the Player can align the video to that data using the lap boundaries, so your on-screen lap markers match the recorded laps.
