Identify Flight Vid Files

General Discussion
1

I often plan a big picture waypoint set of flights using exactly the same flight path and POI’s but at different heights and speeds. When its all over, I always have to analyze very carefully to identify the vids for 50’ altitude from the 80’. I have sometimes made the wrong choice because the exposure has slightly masked what i was looking for. It aint always straight forward

Does anyone have any thoughts as to how I can quickly identify the aircraft video files for each flight against the litchi titles I gave the original flight plans eg River Flats 50 and River Flats 80. How can I get my flight plan title to the aircraft vid title?

I cant help feeling its so simple but I cannot get it !!!

Not exactly the same issue are yours but when I do mapping jobs, I have a checksheet to keep track of flights.
I record the starting time, ending time of flights and other pertinent information.
It makes identifying and grouping images easier (if necessary) by time.

You could do something similar by recording your flight times.
I think the Date/Time stamp of the video will be the Recording Stop time.

Film makers use a clapper board for this task.

Write the name of the flight plan on a piece of paper and take a picture of it with the drone before you start the mission (take off).

Good Idea thanks Tribar, I quickly made a “sandwich board” up - small- and stuck it in front of the aircraft about 1.5 meters away and just felt penned the mission ID on it .

I always fly video missions with the Video on Auto Record and found that only turns on at about 1-1.5 meters off the ground so plan B will follow - - - -

When you playback a video, I noticed the subtitle track is fulllllll of data… It’s all gibberish to me just looking, but I wonder if it holds all the flight data your looking for… Once you know what to look for…
