Hello I I see videos of people were they have the on-screen display stats in their video how would you go about recording that

Hello billwish76, if you're using the Phantom 3/4/Inspire 1, you can turn on this option in DJI Go app before video recording. Some OSD info will be saved into a .srt file.

Awesome thank you.

Billwish, it isn't what he makes it out to be.  It isn't true OSD.  Is recrods the OSD to a seperate file not overlay it onto the the main display.  However, you can use a video editor to add it to your published video along with music,

The only was to get true OSD display is to use a 3d pary app such as by doing  a screen capture directly  off your smart phone or mobile device.  Window tablets work best, just pres "Windows x + G" and start recroding.  Androids you have to use 3 figers.  One on power, other on volume and last finger on hone key and press simultaneously

'Much simpler and easy than the previous post told you..'

And what if he actually wanted a good quality overlay? What you are talking about simply records the phone screen along with the crappy video.

I believe people use all sorts of 3rd party software to do that, but i never found a simple one that's easy to use.. Would love to if someone has experience and could perhaps do a step by step tutorial thread or something like that.. it does look really cool to have that sort of telemetry overlay added to a video.... the srt file does not give u much.. it's really more like a subtitle file:
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,000
HOME(-105.0458,40.5192) 2017.05.06 20:04:25
GPS(-105.0467,40.5141,18) BAROMETER:80.8
ISO:926 Shutter:30 EV:+2/3 Fnum:F2.8

Really, the only useful info here is gps coordinates, time index, altitude.. u do not get speed or heading... not sure how people get that onto their videos....

dashware, that is what pple say.. mind u i did not figure how to use it yet

The free VLCPlayer will display the OSD.

it will display the osd from the srt file, right? Is that really enough to do a nice overlay like some pple have?

It depends upon what you want to see. A good editing program will allow you to display only the parameters you want, and in varying styles and positions. VLC is just a simple display.

Well, people have videos with heading, speed, all sorts of stuff.. srt just holds time, altitude, gps, so in order to get speed, heading and such, u'd have to calculations and so on... i think dashware and some other such ones, do some of that. Tried it once or twice, but failed, so am not playing with it now ;) May have to try again one day ;)

This thread has some good info and some good links: http://www.phantompilots.com/threads/how-to-use-dashware.44476/One of the videos i found showing one of the things u can do
