Rev Fan Video: Testing Data Export from Rev

A Rev user has been experimenting with Rev's data export feature, overlaying the data from Rev on top of video from his Mini Cooper. Great stuff!

Good work. The .csv file is actually just a text file with a ".csv" extension. So you can probably skip the Excel step by just renaming the file extension to ".txt" (unless Excel reformats the file somehow when it exports)

I believe this rather clever user passed a reformatted version of a Rev export file into Quicktime - which then infers what to display in the movie. The reformat would require synchronizing times between the video and the export data.

Where is the brake / acceleration indication coming from in the Rev data?  Which specific metric are you monitoring to get this data?

any way you could post the styled/edited csv file that was used for this? I when I do the video like this via opening it in quicktime, its pretty close together and not laid out the same at all. Or maybe an example nearly like this?

Nope it doesnt change it at all, but its easier to choose what data you want to use. The hard part is reformatting the text file. I use the username TDOCUK for the forum im a mod on, but wifiuk is my personal YouTube account and i have submitted a video under that name.

I managed to do it, had to export the .csv to a text file from Excel, then using that text file open it up in Quicktime, then the text file needs more editing to make it look a nicer layout. Its a time consuming project, but worth it in the end. I have a video labeled TEST shows it working basically
