GoPro Suggestions - Case & Overlays

1

I have a Hero 9 camera. Do you have a suggestion on what cover to use that does not muffle the sound too much? I’m using this which is great, but sound is distorted. Tried with drilling holes and it’s better, but still weird (without the case, much better)

Also, what’s the best data overlay software? Quik does not support latest gen cameras, so I need to find an alternative

Get the media mod. Wind noise reduction plus USB C port.

Or a 10 buck foam cozy. (Search wind baffle hero 9 on eBay).

Not sure what’s good for data overlay these days.

Can you elaborate? I use quik with 9. What’s not working for you?

@tankyx what is the program you use for data overlay?

interesting. I’m using Quik for desktop (older Microsoft version) and it doesn’t overlay anything (option not available) even though GPS is on. That happens on 2 Hero 9 cameras, whereas I had no problem with the older models

Ah, the gauges… that may be the case for all. I have not used them in a long time. The 12 I am using does not have telemetry.

I think there are 3rd party softwares that allow you to overlay data on the newer cameras

I used to use racerender but there are newer and better programs.the GoPro data file is same format as what you pull off mychron

8

Been using that

I use a program called Dashware for overlays. I export from RaceStudio as a .csv with the traces I want and use Dashware’s custom signal profile wizard to set up the figures to display.

It takes some front-end setup time, especially with dealing with the AiM header format but once it knows the signal names it knows what to do.

These videos with lap number and position took extra time because I sometimes had to manually correct the lap count (depending on pace laps) and manually input my position.

I use a program called Telemetry Overlay for overlaying my Mychron data on top of my GoPro footage. It is super customizable and can use data files from a HUGE amount of sources (not just Mychron). It can render out the video and overlay in one go, but, I prefer to use it to render just the gauges as a “transparent video”. This creates a video file for just the gauges which I can then overlay on the actual GoPro footage in DaVinci Resolve. My workflow looks like this:

  1. Download GoPro Hero 10 Black footage and Mychron data to my computer.
  2. Load the footage and Mychron data (.CSV file of session) into Telemetry Overlay
  3. Synchronize the footage and Mychron data using Telemetry Overlay’s manual syncing tool.
  4. Define the start line location and set the race start and race end for the lap gauge.
  5. Render the gauge overlays as a transparent video and save it to computer.
  6. Open DaVinci Resolve, load GoPro footage and the transparent gauge video in a new project in separate video tracks.
  7. Trim down the footage to just what I want to publish to Youtube (getting rid of the out lap and in lap for example).
  8. Add titles and text where necessary
  9. Render, export and automatically upload the final H.265 4K 60fps video to YouTube via DaVinci Resolve “Deliver” module.

Its a bit of work, but I’m happy with the results.

Can you share you flow, scripts, and a screenshot or video of the result?

I tried it yesterday and the results were kind of poor. I used the GoPro data itself. Are you able to use data from a MyChron?
