Exporting Media with Data Overlays
Njord Player can export photos and video clips with data overlays baked in. Metrics are matched to the exact timestamp of each photo or video frame automatically.
Photo batch export
In the media list, select the photos you want to export (or select none to export all). A button labelled Batch Export N Photos with Metrics Overlay will appear below the list. Click it to open the export dialog, where you can choose which metrics appear on the exported images and the output image size.
Player processes all selected photos in one batch operation and saves the results to disk.
Tip: if photo timestamps are off (e.g. wrong time zone on the camera), adjust the time offset before exporting.
Video export
Select a single video in the media list. A button labelled Export [filename] with Metrics Overlay will appear below the list. Click it to open the export dialog, where you can configure:
- Metrics — which data channels appear as an overlay
- Time range — export the full video or a specific section
- Resolution — full, 50%, or 25%
- Quality — output bitrate
- Codec — available codecs are listed; hardware-accelerated options are indicated in the selection field
Codec support
Some videos may not export depending on your operating system and hardware. If export fails or a codec is not listed, try Njord Web Player — using the latest Chrome or Safari on macOS may unlock additional export options.
