Glitched Video Exports - Not as Advertised
I recently purchased Dash View for Tesla Cars with the expectation of exporting combined videos showing all camera angles, as advertised. However, the app fails to deliver on this promise with my 2024 Model Y.
When attempting to export combined videos, the output is completely glitched. The exported video only shows two or three of the cameras, with them overlapping or in an extremely weird format. Instead of displaying all four camera angles, the app creates an ultra-wide video format that is not functional. The front camera often appears in the middle, with other camera views overlapping or missing entirely. This results in an aspect ratio that's around 10:1, which is unusable.
The app's thumbnails on the App Store and in the app itself attempt to emulate the look of Tesla's Sentry Mode viewer, but the actual output is far from what is depicted. The exported videos are mangled in terms of orientation and inclusion of all four camera angles.
This issue may be due to the newer Tesla models having cameras with different aspect ratios. For reference, I am using this app on a 2020 Intel iMac running macOS. I hope the developers can address these issues soon, as the current state of the app does not meet expectations based on the advertised features.

don't buy this crappy app
this app is totally useless because crashes every time I tried to open a file. Don't waste your money
useless when it crashes so often
I'm still looking for a great dash cam viewer, and tried this one again - it still crashes while just viewing clips.
I Really wish the crashing was fixed!
If this app didn't crash so often, it would be perfect for me! But I have been suing it for 10 minutes and it's crashed at least 8 times...... Pretty sad that it hasnt been looked into.
Mostly Good, Still Some Essential Controls Missing
The 4-up playback is the major feature and works well. Still, there are simple controls that we expect in all MacOS applications that are missing here. Wanna switch from 1x playback to 0.5x playback? You hafta click through 2x, 3x, 4x, 8x, 16x, then once more to 0.5x. A better control is necessary. How about key press shortcuts for these speeds (as in other video players? How about key press shortcuts for jump-back-10-seconds, jump-forward, and pause/play? How about a wider control for the playhead so that scubbing the video is easier and more precise? In short, look at the best desktop video players that allow convenient and useful control of playback, and copy those features. Also, when opening a clip, the resulting window always opens in the same place at the same size. If a user adjusts that size, how about having the next clip open with the same position and dimensions instead of making the user reposition the window with each clip? Also, I haven't figured out yet how to delete lots of clips all at once. There doesn't seem to be a way to select multiple clips so that a single delete command will do the trick.
