Method for embedding motion data of an object into a video file to allow for synchronized visualization of the motion data upon playback of the video file

A method for embedding motion data of an object collected by an IMU 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 having a predefined video file format, the predefined video file format configured to include metadata that is storable at predefined time intervals of the video file, the method comprising:

• (a) capturing video frames of an object in motion and simultaneously collecting motion data of the object;
• (b) storing the captured video frames in the video file, and storing the collected motion data;
• (c) converting the motion data to the metadata;
• and
• (d) 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, thereby embedding the motion data of the object into the video file.
