Watch your drone videos in a whole new way!
New: Now works with GPS-enabled GoPro HERO cameras!
With DroneViewer you can play your videos on the main screen while watching your drone’s speed, distance, position, and bearing update on graphs, data displays, and maps. You can geotag key points in your route and jump back to them instantly. You can export portions of your videos to separate clips, or export just a single geotagged frame. You can save your route to common file formats such as comma-separated value (CSV), GPS-exchange (GPX), or Google Earth (KML), for further data analysis. Here is a short movie demonstrating some of DroneViewer’s extensive capabilities.

Does it work with the Mavic air?
LikeLike
No, the Mavic Air doesn’t store navigation info in its SRT file. Please see FAQ.

Is this working with the Inspire 2
LikeLike
The answer is “maybe”. I don’t have any video or SRT samples from an Inspire2. If you could provide samples I could probably make it work. Just remember to turn Video Caption on in the Go app before your flight.

Does it support M2 Zoom?
LikeLike
I haven’t tested the M2 Zoom. But the MP2 Pro does not store GPS data in the SRT file, like the MP Pro did. So I’m guessing the Zoom doesn’t either. However, if you have an M2 Zoom SRT file you can send me I can verify this.

Should work with Matrice 200 series then. I know the M210RTK and M210 store the data. Not sure about the M200 though. Question – .MOV files only or can .MP4 also be used.
LikeLike
MOV and MP4 are supported.
LikeLike
Ah,, I see my answer when reading the manual. Good to point out that when one renames their video that they have to also rename the .SRT files as well.
LikeLike
Yes, good point. The movie filename (minus the extension) and the SRT filename (without extension) should be the same or else DroneViewer will not know they are paired.
LikeLike
I have loaded a video from the P4Pro v2 which has the embedded .srt. I all works although the track line is very course in a series of steps. Any solutions please?
LikeLike
Jim, the coarseness is due to the lat/lon data precision of the waypoints embedded into the video file. It would be great if DJI increased the precision even by one decimal point. I’ve brought this up to them in their forums but it’s fallen on deaf ears.

Thanks, John.

Did you ever verify if your software works with Mavic 2 Zoom? I’m viewing the folder on my laptop (tethered to the M2Z) and each MP4 has an SRT file associated with it… cheers
LikeLike
Any chance you could email me an SRT file so I can examine it?
LikeLike
How its works with P4 advanced?
LikeLike
I do not have a P4 Advanced to test but my guess is that it will work. If you erase your P4’s SD card, then enable Video Captioning in the Go app, you should see .SRT files along with the videos on the SD card when you finish recording videos. Load these videos directly from the SD card into Drone Viewer (using a reader for your computer) and you will probably see the tracks from your P4 Advanced. If not, contact me and I’ll see what I can do to make it work.
