Crew watches the live flight.
Guest or production browser, or an HDMI screen on the truck.
AvailableProduction workflow
From live flight to requested clips.
Give the crew a live picture, record the review copy, mark requested ranges, manage the queue, and move the job to the editing computer.
Current production loop: watch → record → mark → write the card → stabilized clips
Proven end to end on real hardware
Current interface
Review and mark the exact clip.
These are exact product captures, not redrawn screens. Select a stage to bring its working surface forward.
Workflow
Five production steps.
Every step below is built and has been run end to end on real hardware, with the aircraft's own card, to finished stabilized clips.
The flight becomes a review copy.
Recording, thumbnail, playback, seeking, download, and local retention.
AvailableThe operator marks the shot.
Visual In/Out, requester, contact, note, queue status, and shot-list export.
AvailableThe mark finds the drone file.
Cosmik reads the card and lines the flight up against the aircraft's own recording. Accurate to about five seconds; a frame-exact confirmation step is not built.
AvailableOutstanding requests become a post bundle.
One GyroFlow project per request, the shot list, and instructions — written to the card by one button.
AvailableAfter the flight
Find the moment before opening the footage.
The Flight Log aligns uplink, downlink, picture, battery, and recording state. A flagged event can open the saved review copy at the same point, so production can inspect the cause without scrubbing the whole flight.

- ELRSbackpack telemetry confirmed on the Raspberry Pi.
- GPS723 fixes recorded, but position freshness was not good enough for a dependable map claim.

The selection
Drag the handles. Keep the context.
The reviewer sees the recording, selected band, playhead, exact start, exact end, and selected duration together. Their name and edit note travel with the request.
- INMove the first handle or set it to the current playhead.
- OUTMove the second handle and see the duration update immediately.
- WHORecord the client, director, editor, or crew member asking.
- WHYKeep the framing, action, or editorial instruction with the shot.
The queue
Production can see what is still owed.
Requests do not disappear into chat. The library keeps the file, time range, duration, requester, note, and state in one place.
- 01Pending — requested, not yet accepted.
- 02Approved — production intends to deliver it.
- 03Done — the request has been handled.
- CSVExport the pending and approved entries as the current shot list.
During the flight
Choose the right output for each role.
The live browser, clean local protocols, production broadcast, restream targets, and HDMI display are separate surfaces—not one overloaded screen.
DIRECTORAvailable
Open the guest browser and watch the current picture.
No owner-console password is required for the ordinary visitor view.
CREW MONITORAvailable
Put the picture on an HDMI screen with its own remembered framing.
The Streamer recognises the screen and restores the framing you chose for it. Driven on a real monitor with the live picture.
PRODUCTIONAvailable
Use a separate framed and branded output.
Logo, lower-third, timecode, and Fit/Fill/Crop stay off the ordinary live path.
REMOTEAvailable
Send RTMP, SRT, or MPEG-TS to the next system.
Clean publishers are established. The newer per-destination Branded choice is built and awaiting its end-to-end device check.
LOCAL TOOLSAvailable
Take WebRTC, HLS, or RTSP straight from the device.
Use the clean feed or the production broadcast path where available.
Original media
Your mark finds the aircraft's own file.
Cosmik lines the flight up against the recording on the card and names the real file, with the in and out points moved onto it. Here is exactly how far that goes, and where it stops.
Available
Matched from the flight itself, not a wall clock.
The airborne stretch of the flight log is aligned to the card recording that fits it, so the two devices never have to agree about the time of day.
Built
The card is read, every recording on it is measured, and the best fit is chosen automatically.
Built
The shot list names the card, the file, and the in and out points on that file.
Boundary
It lands the moment within about five seconds. That is enough to find the shot, not to cut it frame-exact.
Not built
A confirmation step where the pilot nudges the match to the exact frame.
Not built
Refusing to guess is deliberate: an ambiguous card is left unmatched and says why, rather than naming the wrong file.
Untested
DJI air-unit cards are what this was proven on. Action-camera cards have not been tested.
Rule
Drone media stays read-only while it is inspected. Cosmik writes only into its own folder on the card.
Current file handoff
Export the current request bundle.
Cosmik creates one GyroFlow project per outstanding request, plus the shot list and a README. Press one button and the whole bundle is written into its own folder on the card you already have to carry home.
CosmikZIP bundle
Package
Numbered GyroFlow projects carry each proxy In/Out range. The shot list keeps the requester, contact, note, state, and matching project filename.
GyroFlowProxy ranges
Review
The projects reproduce the requested trim ranges. Because the liveview proxy has no motion data, stabilization still requires the air unit’s original recording.
Current boundary: the match is made on the Streamer, while the card is in it, and lands within about five seconds. The free Cosmik Batch Exporter reads that shot list and runs the local Gyroflow queue. Neither one nudges the match onto an exact frame — that step is not built.
Free desktop handoff
Open the bundle in Cosmik Batch Exporter.
The Exporter reads the Streamer ZIP, creates one queue entry for each request it can resolve, and passes the selected jobs to the installed Gyroflow command-line tool.
- Accepts the ZIP, extracted folder, or shot list CSV
- Lists unresolved requests instead of guessing
- Exports horizontal and vertical variants together
- Free to use with or without Cosmik Streamer
