HOW TO FILM & ADD POWER OVERLAYS!!

I bloody love filming the vids and know SO many of want to know how to do it on your rides too, so here's how I do it.
You will need:
Power metre.
GoPro or similar camera to record.
A fast mate or motor pacer.
Garmin Virb software (it's free).
Patience.
Any questions let me know in the ol' comments as usual. Hope you enjoy!
Also.... let me know where you want to see me climb next :)

High five, Richard!

[@bbanga5542]

Must be a huge boost to be able to chase Richard up a climb like that, but as you said, he’s a fast climber even when loaded up. You did well to keep up with him Katie. Great work Richard. Love the videos you both create. Thanks!

[@naga3929]

Completed my first ever 100K ride just now, Thank you Kay Kay for the inspiration.

[@Jim-ub9qy]

How incredibly informative! I've always wanted to get a behind the scenes look at how you create these awesome videos. No doubt I will need to watch this several more times to absorb all the information you provided. Really well done. BTW...the ride, the scenery and all the emotion of it was absolutely grand. Love the 'after-the-ride' narration and comments.

[@KatieKookaburra]

My pleasure! x

[@petinka721]

If I had filmed Katie I would have camera in front and the videos would always end with she pass the horizon and left me behind :). Well done Richard holding Katies pace! Great video as always from Katie Kookaburra. Have a nice day!

[@crgmrgn]

Everyone needs a mountain goat/packhorse as a silent pacer on climbs! Chapeau Richard!

[@davidp7414]

I bloody love the vids too Katie!

[@jakobklinge_paracycling]

Great video, thank you so much! Excactly what I was looking for, as I just started to edit my own videos and want to add power data to the upcoming ones.

[@duathlete827]

Been playing with VIRB all afternoon and figured out how to get the fit or GPX files from Garmin Connect and Strava. Works great and looking forward to more vid editing tomorrow. What a great share for those of us who record our rides. love watching all the measurements while watching my vids.

[@KatieKookaburra]

So glad it helped! :) Enjoy

[@darrellcarter1163]

Well done Richard and thank u Katie for ur doing so amazing and exciting vlogs xx

[@mlachaise]

Thank you for the quality tips, too (4K filming, zooming in)! Your beautiful vlogs really showcase the technique.

[@johnsmithers389]

Thanks a lot Katie, i've been using Garmin Virb and a Gopro for a while now and totally agree about syncing video and data the most difficult part. What I didn't realise is that you can drag the little man to our chosen start point and get a google street view. a great help and thanks again.

[@davidfenwick262]

Great work Richard 👍 He always seems to get it right. The videos are really interesting to watch especially with your overlays

[@KatieKookaburra]

Thanks 👍

[@odd_job_007]

Bloody hell. Richard has a good engine! Fair play. Useful video, cheers Katie.

[@naga3929]

Thanks Richard, the man BEHIND such lovely videos, who always rides in FRONT of Kay Kay with a Camera BEHIND the bike. So simple. 🙄😲☺️☺️

[@DaveNarn]

Fascinating how you put you're videos together with the on screen overlays. I've wondered about that. Easy to understand with a little editing experience, I've used Premiere Pro, it's similar to FCP. Also cheers to your camera man! They never get any love.

[@parayegjourneys]

Thanks for this! Really helpful

[@LianneWitkin]

Thank you so much! very helpfull video! and very nicr rides!

Thank you, looks fairly easy, I shall have a go!

[@Teo-S]

Katie, I've seen other videos on this subject and so far yours seems to be the easiest to follow. Saving your vid in my personal playlist for when I need to do a stat overlay. Thank you and safe riding!

[@KatieKookaburra]

Glad it was helpful :)

@@KatieKookaburra Thank you and take care.

[@simoping]

Nice Job... really insightful. Love KK ❤

[@GrenvilleMelonseedSkiff496]

Good info that I can use on my sailing videos and perhaps a future riding video. Interesting to see how little vibration is transmitted into the seat post mounted GoPro video clips ... maybe the camera is set to enhance image stabilization. Thanks for an informative video that gives us a window into all the work that goes into capturing and editing high quality videos. Keep well, stay safe and Hold Fast !

[@ElectrifyTrails]

Proper helpful. Thanks

[@tipperjones20]

Thanks Katie. I always wondered how everyone did this. 👍

[@jcnredpizzawindow2219]

Me and the wife(Sharon) are always wonderinghow you film those shots we were suspecting a scooter but never heard a engine but could have been edited out but then thought about the fumes then I said oh my god she must have a other bicyclist! That’s dedication to you Kook and thumbs up to him. You are very lucky to have him. Now he needs a good nickname lol. Good video and thanks again from boiling California. Jc

[@KatieKookaburra]

Ahhh thanks Julio, yeah Ricardo as we call him is a good egg. Honestly he's like family, like me younger brother :)

Thank you for sharing your talents not everyone has the passion and patients to make great videos. And as for your partner he can do what he loves to do will filming a beautiful Cycliste smashing a epic climb.

Katie, you seem so wild! In the good sens of freedom and fun. 🥰😍💝 Ok, now let's learn how to make a GPX overlay. 😀👌

[@Triathlon.]

Wow much respect, this is tough!

[@shirinkekre1392]

Great video! Could you also give grading tips to beginners who don't know much about editing videos? Thank you

[@plusbonus1165]

Do you need to turn GPS on GoPro? Thanks

[@goodbikeroute]

Thank you for that video :)

[@Jaffer_cake]

Anyone knows where the Sony camera is kept? Dont have a gopro yet :)

[@RobtCorry]

After watching some of your videos, I decided to try this, managed to do some similar videos on DashWare, can be downloaded for free. Had the same problem with syncing the video, good tips from you, though surprised that you're not using GPS on your GoPro. Maybe it's not accurate enough for syncing?

[@rforrist]

Not sure I understood this part: does the .fit file data come from a cycling computer or is it from an app like Strava?

[@ButaneBear]

So much friend zone I can feel it across the pond

[@bikeboomer2617]

Thank you!

[@MuppetAlex1]

Ok. Downloaded virtual, will get the chilli tech out and have a play. Also had a plastic moment and fitted an 11-40 to the bike. Seems ok. I fitted a sun tour cassette (I am a sucker for shiny stuff and a red anodized spider. Yum. The seam chain, not so much. I will probably swap it out for a shimano so that it fits with the 105 kit. But after some swearing with the indexing it all works. Taen it for a spin, so all good. Will test it in anger later. Initial thought are that the bigger cassette will destroy hills. The top gear i am moving from a 12 to 11, so slightly more effort to use, but this is a good thing. I also splashed out on lights and computer. Got a roam bundle. Omg it's so easy, i love it. I also got an exposure race 15. A good middle ground for mtb and road i thought. So yeah, i have invested a lot in the next audax (yes i am hooked and having a mad moment). So anyway, your advice has paid off so far. It wont make me faster, or a better cyclist, but I think I can manage anything with my set up. Ummm. Thanks

[@tombachmann5784]

Class! Thanks so much.

[@KatieKookaburra]

No worries :)

[@eleteman]

What to use for gps?

[@the.otis.burger617]

Richard = #LEGEND 🙌🏾

[@zikaperic2133]

Thanks for video! But I don't get why this VIRB app cannot do lining up automatically using the timestamps? Video has start time and end time, gps has start time and end time...

[@ungatoenbicicleta]

Do you know if it is possible to add more skins to the software for the telemetries?

[@KatieKookaburra]

Not sure what that means so you are clearly better at this stuff than I am :)

[@MaximValyanskiy]

There is another way to do overlays. You may export gauges as PNG sequence, transform them into animation video (use ffmpeg with qtrle codec) and then add them on top of your video in Final Cut Pro (or another video editor). This method allows you to crop and tweak colours without affecting overlay. And final video quality seems to be little better.

[@plusbonus1165]

Not always , because , though .

[@KatieKookaburra]

Thanks for the tip :)

[@swamiasango1112]

THX Richard

[@paulc4rey]

We could all use a Richard when climbing.. Chapeau to that man 👏

[@luisrivas643]

Hello, so I followed every step you mentions to where I finally got the overlay I wanted. But when I hit export I get a message that says “Export of video failed. Unknown error occurred during video exporting.” I was wondering if you’ve ever gotten the same message and what I can do to fix it?

[@KatieKookaburra]

Hmmm not sure. Do you have enough memory on the device you’re saving it to?

[@DavidMackenzie]

Go Richard!

[@kevinlyon9501]

That was interesting thanks, hat's off to Richard camera bicycleman. Did wonder how you did it, I'm guessing it gets easier to edit the more you use it, but roughly how long does it take to edit that sort of video.

[@KatieKookaburra]

Yeah more you do it easier it gets. From importing the footage to uploading the vid I would say around 2 hours :)

[@ChrisHallRides]

How the heck do you stop Garmin VIRB from crashing haha

[@1LeggedAdventures]

so if you have a 4 hours ride and edit it down, to say 30 mins, do you have to adjust the G matrix at every edit point so that it matches? OR.... Can you load all the clips at once, load the data, synch it, then chop it up into a smaller video? that makes sense in my brain but im not sure it translates to words very well. TIA

[@KatieKookaburra]

Yeah I do it all as one so it all attaches right then save that video then chop it up :)

[@1LeggedAdventures]

@@KatieKookaburra thank you :)

[@meneersjonnie]

Can't you just overlay the full stats over the full climb Gpro recording, which is non-stop i pressume? then after this you can easily select the scene's you want and leave the uninterresting bits out..? Anyway the quality is top and very good to watch. Good job Nerdy!

[@nicholasmnic]

thanks Katie just edited my first video using gamine vibe just need to work on some commentary and try to set a subject that people will be interested in but thanks you are an inspiration and motivate me to work at getting out there do me a favor and have a look at my vid and give me a thumbs up i used the make video section for ease working on a better edit cheers

Garmin VIRB edit doesn't work anymore with Google maps. Is there any good alternative? Dashware is terrible for me

[@OliverScheffer-Photography]

It does work after changing a setting. Problem is the use of the Internet Explorer. I've got this solution from the Garmin forums, it will change the browser to Edge. Next time you start Virb everything will work again. Open command prompt or powershell in administrator mode Run the command to add the new entry: REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION" /v VirbEdit.exe /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00002ee1

Yeah exactly, you can do that for sure :)
