Got a tough request. I have two things going on at once. Recording helmet cam video during a ride and my GPS is also recording the tracklog. Both devices have time stamps on the recorded data.
Is there any way to get TF to animate the track log playback so it's sync'd with the video time stamp?
Imagine you have two windows open on your computer desk top. One window is the playback of your recorded video. The other window is TF where the track log playback position matches the video timestamp.
What do you think? How tough to pull this off?

You mean something like this?

There are a few TF users doing this now. There's no code to specifically sync the video with the playback, but if you start them at the same time (especially with the latest beta, which has more accurate "real time" playback) it should work just fine.
We've tossed around some ideas for creating "index" points, where you'd click on a piece of the map and it would start the video at that point. Possible with quicktime and a simple offset.
If you do try syncing video with playback, let us know how it goes.

That's exactly what I need to do. Do you have any contact information on the TF users already doing this kind of stuff? The U tube link shows a GPS window that doesn't look like TF. Do your recognize the software?
Thanks for help,

That's definitely TF in the video.
Here is another topic on the forum with people doing similar things:
