A method is provided for determining a start offset between a video recording device and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for use in synchronizing motion data of an object collected by the IMU attached to the object with video frames captured by an image sensor of the video recording device of the object in motion. The start offset is then used to synchronize subsequently captured video frames to subsequently collected IMU motion data.
