    I think I am misunderstanding of what this tool will do.

    What I want, is a way to take my video of a roller coaster ride and have some magical tool create a set of axis movements that will move in sync with the video.

    Does this tool do that? If not, any suggestions?

    If it does, I must be using it wrong. All I get if I load the video and start is a set of 0 movements on all axis.

    I am asking for help if someone is willing.

    I am not sure you should ever expect 'magical tools', just what it says on the box, with likely some tweaking to get what you want.

    What bit of the existing Video Ride Recorder instructions is unclear: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/simtools-v2-video-ride-recorder.203/

    Video Ride Recorder records from what plugins Simtools supports.

    So, for rollercoasters, you could use the NoLimits Rollercoaster plugin and record from that: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/nolimits-rollercoaster-simulation-plugin.31/

    If you want to make motion for your own random video then you would need to roll up your sleeves, spend time and use the Video Ride Creator plugin: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/simtools-v2-video-ride-creator.180/

    I really appreciate what you have given me. This helps tremendously. You can't fault a guy for hoping for miracles??

    Thanks.
