Text according to Excel document A friend and I recently launched a model rocket. We had installed an altitudemeter that exports all it's data for each quarter second into an Excel document. I want to take the data of the time and height of this document (about 1000 time steps) and use it to have a live altimeter in the top of the screen on the video using Vegas Pro 13. I basically want it to count the height live with the video. Does anyone know if this is possible in Sony Vegas?
The best thing for me would be that it follows a graph so that the text doesn't change every quarter second, but every frame. If this can be done, it would be easier, because then I don't have to use every single step of time from Excel, but every 10 steps or so. It will still be accurate and smooth, though less of an annoying job.
I think you want this to be done automatically. But f course you could create 1000 text overlays, each one showing a particular altitude, and place the correct overlay at the correct point in the timeline for the correct duration (1/4 second). That would be a terribly tedious job!
