Adding Media to a Document

To add media assets to a document:

  2. Add one or more media assets via the Add Assets button.
  3. The asset file timestamp and the file time zone will be autodetected in many cases. If the autodetected values are not correct, you may change them using respective fields. Select multiple assets to change the time zone for multiple assets at the same time.

Video

Extensions: MP4, MOV

The file timestamp is taken from the capture date recorded in the video file (falls back to file creation date if unavailable).

When recording video using DJI drones, it is recommended to enable the Video Caption option and retain the generated .SRT files. These files will allow the Njord Player app to accurately detect file timestamp offsets that may be present in DJI video files.

When using newer GoPro models, select time stamp source QuickTime Time Code = Start of video in Njord Player to make consecutive clips align correctly.

Njord Player supports MP4 files using the AVC/H.264 codec or the HEVC/H.265 codec. Since Njord Player version 2.4.0, HEVC/H.265 playback uses hardware acceleration and requires one of the following graphics cards:
