addressing your points sequentially:
- The capability to overlay GIS Feature data in the video window has not been ported from ArcMap into ArcGIS Pro. We expect this to be available in Pro 2.3
- I am not sure I understand the question. You said "record" the video metadata; do you mean "display"? If you right click on the video in the TOC, you can display the metadata
- The camera used for that demonstration flight (Denver/Cheyenne) was a military grade system that embedded the MISB metadata into the video in realtime.
- The Garmin Virb Ultra 30 is an excellent camera for the price, but it is a consumer product and the accuracy of the built in orientation sensors is certainly limited. Are you asking about recommendations for other camera systems? we can provide recommendations but note the pricing for most will be 10 to 100x higher, and most require manned aircraft.
- With a low accuracy sensor, I will typically calculate a moving average in the metadata to smooth out any erroneous or missing values (using MS Excel). Create a new column and average 3 or more records into one value to see if that gives you results that appear better. You can also try simply filtering (in Excel) with a threshold to flag suspected errorneous or missing values, then enter what you feel would be appropriate values. Note these suggestions do NOT increase accuracy, but can help overcome data gaps or errors.

Hi Cody,
Thanks so much for you detailed and prompt response!
1. Sounds great! For the time being I will still use ArcMap for Full Motion Video. Would 2.3 be out at the end of 2018?
2. Yes sorry for the confusion. That is what I was referring to. Furthermore, in ArcMap, I was able to record the Multiplexed video metadata into a CSV file (see attached image). Does ArcGIS Pro does similar functions? 
3/4/5. Understood. And currently we are trying to demonstrate the feasibility of FMV and show a proof of concept for our application, it is a really great add-in to integrate digital data into captured footage.
The final purpose is a helicopter inspection equipped with better hardware and gimbal systems. And yes, we are looking for camera system and possibly gimbal recommendations if you could please.
Sounds good! I will definitely clean up the metadata and recreate a multiplexed video afterwards!
Thank you very much once again!
Francis
