Abstract
A method is provided for embedding motion data of an object collected by an inertial measurement unit that is attached to the object into a video file that includes video frames of the object in motion captured by a video recording device. The video file has a predefined video file format that is configured to include metadata that is storable at predefined time intervals of the video file. The method operates by capturing video frames of an object in motion and simultaneously collecting motion data of the object, storing the captured video frames in the video file, and storing the collected motion data, converting the motion data to the metadata, and inserting the metadata into one or more time intervals of the video file, wherein the metadata in each time interval includes the metadata for a plurality of successive or preceding video frames.
