For the use of the QGIS FMV plugin you must have the requirements previously installed.
Once you have them, click on the icon that will appear in QGIS, to open the manager. 
From the manager, you can open and manage your play list. To add a video, (if the video is already MISB compliant) simply click on File -> Open Video File and select a video file from the dialog window to add it to the play list.
If your video is not MISB compliant, you will have to create it via the Multiplexor. To do this you will need the telemetry file that corresponds to the video. This file can be found in your Ground Control Station (phone or tablets) file folder.
- The folder path will look similar to this: Pixel 3 XL\DJI\Dji.go.v4\FlightRecords
- The file you need will look like this: DJIFlightRecord_2018-10-25_[10-34-38]
Convert it to .csv using the CsvView tool Simply open the telemetry file in CsvView and save it out as a .csv file.
Other way to create it is, go to DJI Flight Log Viewer site, import the .txt and click in the Download Verbose CSV option.
Once this is done you can use the Multiplexor to create a MISB compliant video.
From the manager simpy click on File -> Create MISB File, select the video and the corresponding telemetry file. There is an option to modify the Horizontal and Vertical Fields of View if necessary.
Note: The FOV are crucial for correct corner points calculation, so have a look at your DJI manual to get the correct numbers.
Note: If you have more than one video recorded in a flight, the Multiplxor tool needs to identify each recodring event. Simply select Extract Recordings Then select the corresponsing recording to the video as it was captured. Ex: If you started and stopped the video 3 times over the course of one flight and want to use the second one. The Multiplexor tool will find three Recordings. Chose the matching one, the second one.
Once all information has been provided select the Create MISB button. It will load the new file into the Video Manager.
IMPORTANT: This only works with DJI data for now
If you want to play a video after adding it to the play list, double-click on any video in the manager and the player will be opened playing the selected video. For playing another video, it is not necessary to close the player, just click on a different video and it will be played.

Cursor Coordinates: This option allows you to see the cursor coordinates in WGS84 or MGRS (Military Grid Reference System).
The player also offers the typical options such as stop, rewind, fast-forward, go to the first or last frame and volume controller.
If we want to hide these options, simply click on 
and If we right click on the video we can see a menu, with the options that we see in the following image.
The utility bar offers us tools to interact with the video. This bar can hide it if we right click and unchecking the option "Utils Toolbar".
If on the contrary we want to leave it but we don't like where it is, we can move it where we want,
The options offered are the following:
Magnifying Glass: This option zooms the part of the video in which the magnifying glass is located. To use it, we can left click on the video or if we want to move it fluidly,, we must keep pressing the left click and move the mouse. We can change its shape between circle and square.
