Did a quick search and didn’t find anything on the forum to date so thought I’d run it by you wonderful people: what are the easiest options for creating race recap footage with data overlays? I own a Wahoo Bolt and a GoPro Hero 4 Session, but the following posts make me think it will be more troub…

Thanks for the quick response. This video looks like an example of a cycling video with data overlay. However, the video doesn’t detail how to add that data and from what camera being used. That is the part I am more interested in: How to add power data and which camera is best for this purpose? Bot…

You can check out my YouTube channel if that’s what you’re looking for. I use GoPro 12, Garmin VIRB edit and Final Cut Pro. I green screen the data and overlay it on the video. I don’t know how you would do good looking overlays without a professional editing software. [Road to Hell - 71mi…

I see that the video of the race is three hours long, may I ask how the picture quality is set during the race, and also whether there is an external mobile power supply, the gopro will sometimes overheat and turn off automatically

External battery. It won’t overheat if it is moving because of wind. I record in 4k 30 fps.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll try setting it up like that. Wanted to ask in more detail, how did you set the 4k30 image quality, and the exact bit rate, I use the highest image quality and the resulting video file is very large. Also, where do you normally install the external power supply, and can yo…

No problem, it was a gopro 10 and Telemetry Overlay have tutorial videos on how to use it. [Synchronization — Telemetry Overlay tutorial] [How To add GPS Telemetry Overlay Data to ANY Video FREE]

Post 23 in this thread - I went into detail on lots of your questions including external power [image] Garmin Virb Data Overlays I just pick which graphs I like in VIRB edit then save my template to reuse each video. I’ve never imported gages/graphs or templates into VIR…

I think this may then be out of date as I’m discovering online that Virb is no longer supported. So for a new go pro, even with built in GPS, you cannot connect it to Virb to overlay a power meter. Looks like the only way to do it is through more professional editing software. I think the new Insta3…

Not exactly true that virb can’t do overlays on new GoPros. Here’s the limitation: Virb cannot deal with h.265 (HEVC) video files. If you were deadset solid on using Virb, you can re-encode the files from any gopro to h.264, and import into Virb, and use any .fit file from any Edge and go to town. …

I still use virb with videos from my Hero 10. It uh, sucks real bad. But it can be done.
