Adding Power/Speed Overlays w/ a GoPro (Cameras - Mounting - Overlays - Editing)

ALERT! The newst version of virb is broken. If you have a mac, I have the working version for you.
drive.google.com/open?id=0B1g...
In this great video, I walk you through the gear used, where I mount the camera, how to overlay power and speed using a go pro, some editing tips, and overall thoughts.
This video is aimed towards cycling but the process of adding the overlays and the other tips still stand for any other sport.
I use a gopro to capture all my footage and use garmin virb to overlay the graphics.
@3:40 is where I start the screen tutorial on how to add power and speed to your gopro footage.
@19:19 is where that ends and I talk about editing.

dude i tried to do this on my mac......worst software ever. it crashes as soon as i try to import anything

[@TheVCAdventures]

BRO!!! I GOT YOU FAM!!!! Worst timing for this video because the new version is broken. BUT!!! I have the 4.1 version for you! Just download it from my drive and install it. BUT DO NOT UPDATE, just use this version. drive.google.com/open?id=0B1ghHVp4wQGCSnRDVHR3Y25ySWM

[@livefreeandshred9818]

thank you so much my dude!!

[@ShermanSitter]

Don't buy updates, ride up dates?

[@ridesantacruzbikes]

righteous​, man

[@WillBorgers]

@@TheVCAdventures has this been fixed yet? can i download the most current version? This tutorial is so dope. I just made my first video since freshman year of high school (2001) and am pretty stoked on it. Hope to create a lot of riding, running, swimming, & aviation videos in the coming years.

[@ramblejones]

I messaged you literally two days ago asking how you add the overlays and you went ahead and did a whole video for me. Thanks!

[@TheVCAdventures]

+ramblejones That's how I treat my subs....I listen, and I deliver LOL

[@MichaelAlderman2]

This is a great video. Thanks for putting this together. I just found a cheap action cam and I'm going to try this out. Love your videos, your channel and your enthusiasm for the sport.

[@chrisnorie8427]

Awesome! Thanks for making this video. I'm so pumped to record my first ride with this.

[@ebw82]

Thank you so much for posting this. I wanted to tell you how to scale the gauges since you commented that the Grade gauge is too large for your liking. I literally just figured it out. With G-Metrix selected on the left, select the gauge you want to scale - in this case it is Grade. Click on the Appearance section and to the right of Color (which it defaults to), select Transform. Now you can Scale and Rotate THIS gauge. Click another to repeat. Really enjoy your videos (in general) as they've helped me get up and running with a power meter and now with my new GoPro.

[@TheVCAdventures]

DUDE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@PoetWithPace]

Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this. Katie Kookabura pointed me to you as i'm looking to overlay for my running vlogs.

[@mr_musette]

Useful vid. like the tip about syncing the clips with the music waveforms

[@Ababab53]

Thanks Bro for this awesome tutorial video,this is exactly what I wanted,will soon start making my videos,you are my favorite cyclist KZbinr!!!!,keep posting the cool stuffs

[@aaronlim7336]

Thank you so much for this video. It helps alot on the gear and overlay. Great video👏👏.

[@ciansmart4181]

Thanks for the tips! I'm going to try this with some footage I have from some Cyclocross races from the winter

[@rAmonofthe951]

bruh, This was the most helpful video I could find. Thank you

[@grumpywoodchucker]

Very cool info...thanks for posting this!

[@HockeyPucker77]

Great stuff as always. Thanks Tyler.

[@BabisCharalamp]

I'm giving it a shot to create a first little video right now. The info here has been amazing help. Cheers!

[@dieseliulian]

Many thanks for this video, Sir Dude! I'm following all the steps, syncing the video to a ppppprecise point on the map, adding the desired gauges, but they're static! I go through the whole synced video, cadence, speed, hr stay the same. Hhalp!

[@pablito14061995]

I had been looking for months to do it! thank you very much

[@pblair12]

This is a great tutorial.. thank you so much!

[@ursoulspure]

Entertaining and good editing. Thanks!

[@ChrisPBacon-kr1sq]

thank you so much for showing this, it worked for me

[@TheMuscleDocMethod]

Thank you so much for talking about this!!!

[@colinosullivan930]

Super video mate. This answers my question on the jitter or motion from the K-Edge mount I'm using. I'm going to see if my hero black came with the mount. I'm pretty sure it didn't! I'll be looking later! :) Cheers from the Giro Gran Fondo in Ireland.

[@robertgorgol253]

Great tutorial! Thanks! To all of you using VIRB Edit on Windows 10 machines. On some PCs, you can encounter a problem with importing video files. I had the following problem on one of my PCs, but it was not the case on my other PC, so I guess it depends on a specific PC setup or hardware. I haven't figured out what exactly causes the problem, so maybe you can switch to a different PC as I did and hopefully, you'll save some time. Here it is: The latest version 5.4.3 of VIRB Edit has some trouble with importing all video files. The import goes through, but in a window where the preview should show up, there is a message saying something like: "Some portions of the video are corrupt... trim away the corrupt portion of the clip or remove it completely". It is a constant message on all videos I tried to import to VIRB Edit. I used different capturing devices and the result is the same. All videos I tried played correctly in Windows Player, just in VIRB Edit 5.4.3 software all those didn't want to play or even preview. The solution is to install version 5.1.2 instead of 5.4.3 VIRB Edit 5.1.2 imports and plays all videos correctly, you can get it from here garmin-virb-edit.software.informer.com/5.1/

[@dyldahl]

Just used this - THANK YOU.

[@the21stcentury31]

Great Tips VC!

[@BikeBodyMind]

Solid work dude, thanks for sharing. Syncing in VIRB is such a pain in the ass. Especially considering you can't combine clips and need to sync for every 17 min clip. Super dumb...FYI for anyone interested: Sometimes the sound gets unmatched when you drop the exported mp4 file w/ overlays back into Premiere Pro CS6 but if you just change the extension from ".mp4" to ".mov" it solves the problem.

[@lrl81278]

You make me want to go make a riding video just to see if I can. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@BucketlistFitRunning]

This is perfect, thanks man!

[@bamvega7384]

I will absolutely tag you. Thanks for the tutorial :) Doing a race analysis vid :)

[@sierra0884]

Good stuff. Your channel makes me want to make my own videos

[@christiantorres9319]

have you tried to export the multiple go pro clips to make one mp4 file then pull up the new single clip mp4 file and then you only have to sync one clip.

[@mrtvanags]

Dude i am all oposite VEGAN(really love meeeeeet), but i really enjoy your videos and your opinion about this sport. Keep what you are doing!

[@esanchezp]

Damn VC, I just did an overlay to one of my rides and it was a breeze with your help and video. I'll be riding more with my video recorder. I just wish you would use VIRB for your editing as well. I added music but couldn't figure it our how to truncate it or just add a few sec of the song. Anyway bruh, kudos to you on this video, you nailed it.

[@fgabrieltomas]

Excellent video

[@zedmangaming3401]

This is awesome.

[@CRoadbuck]

Dude, awesome tutorial! I'm just starting to edit my own cycling videos so you're way more experienced at this than I am. But one little tip that I've found useful is to first combine all of your footage in Premier (or any other video editor) and export as a single clip before you import into VIRB. This way you only have to sync up the data once. Then, I'll apply the gauges I want and export that out of VIRB. Finally, I'll import that clip back into Premier for extra editing. I'm trying to figure out how I can sync up the data but then export the gauges out of VIRB with a green BG so I can use them as a layer on my video in Premier. Haven't figured that one out yet.

[@CRoadbuck]

HA just realized you explained this in the video. Preemptive comment. My bad

[@matt.rus1]

Super helpful video VC, thanks! When recombining multiple files that the go pro has split up from 1 video, the playback in the editer jumps as one file stops and the next begins. Is this normal? Maybe it will be smooth when its exported?

[@carloamiel]

Thanks for the tutorial Tyler. Do you know how to convert the speedo from miles to kms using Mac ?

[@titleistfour]

Thanks for this vid!

[@demetricwilson4825]

Thanks for the video -- big fan. I am ready to use these tips. Before I buy a GoPro and a Garmin, can I just buy the GoPro and use and app like Relive to track my ride, or does it have to be Garmin in order to sync?

[@Ultegra10SPD]

Hidemybell mount!. GPS, Camera, and bell all in one. Camera mounts midway on mount, not directly under GPS on the end. Slick stuff, check it out. I use a shimano camera just b/c its small and light. Even though its 2 buttons are annoying. Also means i have to stitch/convert my videos with MM before i can go into virb and overlay. Good video sir. -U10

[@tphongsy]

dude....thats a lot of fucking work. props to your efforts in putting these together.

[@IdontNeedHandles]

Now i understand how your head gets on videos during sprints :)

[@mfpottery4152]

Great Video! I love your content! But where do you get your music for the videos?

[@myfreetimestory]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@frontrangerider4214]

Your a legend

[@francisdelacruz1843]

thanks champ! i'll give this a go. ta!

[@ericszmurlo958]

You really need to hook Phil Gaimon up with some of these skillz

[@cory1newton]

Eric Szmurlo I already asked! Tyler got a no-go from Phil. Super lame.

[@TheVCAdventures]

UPDATE!!!!! GUESS WHO GOT A TEXT FROM THE COOKIE MONSTER!

[@matismud]

Hi, just discovering this video. So generous of you to share. Thx man. Question: when you go to post production after adding overlay telemetry in VIRB does color correcting footage mess up your overlays? Is it more difficult to color correct footage because editor is detecting overlays? Just wondering if I should try color correcting first then import to VIRB then go back to cut and add sound. Thx again!

[@TheVCAdventures]

That's a good question. I color correct after the overlays, but I know what your saying.

[@brendanhousler6214]

thanks for sharing the virb file

[@pauloforestal1278]

Maybe a help tips is to use Garmin lap button when you start video recording to find the exact time?

[@timothyperry2672]

Literally just learnt to do power overlays the other day. I've been using dashware which is really easy to sync with but the gauges aren't as cool.

[@Pierrrrrrrrrrrrrrre]

This video should have 10x these views!

[@upward_onward]

Thank you.

[@fastk9dad]

Thanks for this tutorial. I've used Virb edit before and added overlays but not synced to music, good tips right there! Where do you get the music tracks from?

[@TheVCAdventures]

I use Chuki beats, retnik beats, andrew applepie, those are all pretty good channels.

[@AbelTyberghein]

wow that ending! I want to be there. Where do you get you music?

[@chaim0001]

Very nice video. Have you ever try Dashware? I use it sometimes to see how I was on some downhills and to show my friends how is where I live. It is not perfect, I think GoPro bought the company but it helps. I will try the Virb later. Thank you from a meat eater! :)

[@delsonchong]

Will auto-pause on the Garmin affect the syncing?

[@batuaerial213]

Hey man, I have GoPro Hero 6 black and it has GPS in it. Looks like you are getting GPS data from your cell phone? and using training peaks or Strava data to upload the GPS data. I was wondering is there anyway I can pull my GPS data from my GoPro hero 6? Btw I'm also using Macbook pro. Thanks. (I don't want to use GoPro Quik app because you can only edit 60sn video)

[@drouleau]

I spent all weekend trying to get Garmin VIRB Edit to work with my footage from a recent climb I did....no dice, software kept crashing during export or wasn't able to process the video. So annoying.

[@XeseKaiPese]

Question, what compression options are you using for best result in KZbin?!

[@JoseRizaldyCarolino]

Hello there. Is it SJCAM can do also?

[@Aihamjaabari]

Thank you for the video. Where do you get the power data from?

[@TheVCAdventures]

You’ll need a power meter, and then I pull it from TrainingPeaks

[@zikaperic2133]

I am in 2021, I am wondering is still a best to add metric overlays or is there something better? Thanks!

[@Caos62]

i will try this tomorrow with my gopro3... i will let you know how it goes, althought i need like 2 weeks to edit a video. :D

[@PlattyNumm]

I use some free software to join all the clips in to one clip first then import that. Then you only have to do the gmetric once

[@stephaniegayle9608]

Hi dude can I have the link for mac. I tried to click the link in your description but url not found. Thanks

[@NikeDnT]

Have you used a Garmin Virb? I'm looking to get either a Go Pro or a Virb for this purpose and was wondering which I should get. I guess it comes down to how much better a camera the GP is vs how how easier it is to use the software with a virb. What do you think?

[@TheVCAdventures]

GOPRO!!! GO....PRO!!! *Heres why, The garmin is cool for bikes only, but I use my gopro for so much more. Its a great camera....in general. The Virb seems like all action and hard to use off the bike. Plus the hero 5 has such good stabilization software stock.

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

I also heard the virb has crazy file sizes! But as Tyler said. GOPRO ALWAYS

[@NikeDnT]

Thanks for the advice. Got a hero 4. Unfortunately the VirbEdit version that came out on June 2 killed the syncing. Have to wait for a fix now. Would advise you dont upgrade if youre using the 4.2 version.

[@vojtaripa5992]

is there a better easier way now in almost 2021? I know the new gopros do provide some of these features but I'm still stuck with the 4

[@eriksearth]

You can change he size of the icons if you go to appearance and scale

[@Excape]

How can I show strava segments in the overlay?

[@bsoneill3]

What is the software to use these days on a Mac for overlays? I GoPro8 and Wahoo Elemnt.

[@mattrosenstein9169]

Does any cycling computer work or what will be best?

[@dsmalz708]

Can this work the same for wahoo? Instead of Garmin

[@cilliwilli2k11]

great video, i downloaded virb edit but it wont let me import my videos i dont have a gopro so am using a bottom of the range action camera, are only some cameras compatible or am i doing something wrong ? thanks

[@TheVCAdventures]

I know that version 5.1 is FU#@ED! If you just downloaded it, its not you, its the software. Give it a week for them to fix it.

[@dckites]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have a FitBit and the data is exported as .tcx , data is from indoorcycling , I would like the data to create overlay for BPM and Calories. I would need to convert to FIT files since GPX does not provides Calories data. Any recommendation for TCX > FIT converter ? Thanks!

[@TheVCAdventures]

I have no experience with that file type. Im sure theres a way, but I dont know off the top of my head.

[@dckites]

@@TheVCAdventures Thanks! I will keep on searching.

[@fastpaethedlife]

18:46 Watched this video a while ago, just started to make my own videos. Came back for reference after exporting. Wish I had remembered this! 1080 @ 60fps a 67 minute video was 241,597 files and almost 11 GIGS!

[@TheVCAdventures]

I blew my system up trying to export pngs lol.

[@fastpaethedlife]

The Vegan Cyclist never again! I have about 1500 questions about how to make great videos. There a good way to dm and chat bikes and videos? Or will I hear a vegan excuse? 😂

[@dislexikcracker]

Can you not sync via timestamps? Should be the same time of day down to the second right?

[@Technoking83]

Is it possible for Wahoo elemnt with gopro?

[@kirkshammett94]

Is this possible to do with an iPad Pro?

[@dr.barsumyan]

Hey mate, thank you a lot! But your google drive link doesnt work, can you correct it/ send it new one? Because latest version for Mac is mesh...

[@kevrev7]

Is this possible to do with Wahoo bolt? My assumption is you could just export from Training peaks?

[@chadsmith6625]

Kevin Sheppard Yes export the Wahoo FIT file to your Dropbox account and download on your PC. I have mine setup to automatically send the FIT file as soon as my Ride is over

[@vladimirguinez5857]

10:19 . I was so focus that when I saw the meme ... lmao

[@derekemmanuel86]

Is there any way we can do this in live video

[@icy3dge]

Can i pull data from my mobile phone apps like strava or others instead of garmin gps because i do not own one.

[@formerdi6198]

Thank you for this video. I made my first one yesterday with your help. Question: can you upload a video on KZbin with iTunes (copyrighted) music? I’m not finding clear answers on this. Thanks Bruh!!!

[@TheVCAdventures]

You can upload it, but you won't make money on it. Sometimes in rare cases the video will be blocked in certain countries depending on the song you used.

[@formerdi6198]

The Vegan Cyclist I appreciate it. It was made more for fun and creativity and to share with friends I ride with. I appreciate your help. I’ll be looking into no copyright music. Thank you.

[@silviugheorghe7118]

Hey guys. I have a problem with these methods...when I drag and drop a gauge it is not appearing on the video. Do you have any solutions to this problem? Thanks

[@Wapiaries]

The power gauge that Vegan uses is not available on my copy of VIRB edit (windows). Even when I hit the link to download more. Does the mac version of VIRB edit have different gauges?

[@TheVCAdventures]

+Honest Tree strange, my pc had the gauge. And it was a stock option

[@nicot5739]

Hello, the google drive link isn't working...do you have another one? Thanks!

[@befitcycle]

what sd card do you use?

[@ruirodtube]

Too bad you didn’t show the total distance at the end. I have a problem that causes the total distance to go back to zero when switching between clips. Funny enough the maps add up correctly. Any idea on how to solve this issue?

[@DrSomhairle]

What is the maximum length of a ride for taking the garmin?

[@velo_athletic]

He dude, when you are filming during a ride when you stop or just talking on the bike what kind of cam do you use than? Thanks!

[@TheVCAdventures]

+Vegan Biking I have a Sony A7 for the quality stuff, my vlogging camera is around $2k , but I will use my phone sometimes.

[@velo_athletic]

Ok nice! but that one you don't use on the bike?

[@thung22]

Virb g-sync google map is also broken for about a month now, so synching is not possible at the moment. You having the same problem?

[@svgherb]

What do you use to add overlay now that you use the wahoo bolt, I tried adding overlay using the virb software but it wouldn't let me upload the data from my wahoo elemnt bolt😖

[@svgherb]

Never mind, I continued watching the video and the training peaks method works! 😁

[@TheLondonCyclist]

Cool. I have been using Dashware to overlay for years and Vegas Pro for editing. I don't really like VIRB Edit.

[@MotoLopez1k]

Can wahoo be used?

[@tom10crafted]

Its really great for drag&drop solutions for generic user base, but at the same is kind of boring, what everyone else do. On a different note - do you have an estimate how long does it generally takes to "output" the footage into rendered file? Not vegan here, but might be worth watching data visualizations on my channel, haha! Cheers!

[@benjaminmarshall8119]

Does an auto stop/start on a Garmin head unit matter for videos?

[@TheVCAdventures]

+Benjamin Marshall no, any .fit file and any .mp4 file can be used in this program

[@jakespaude5801]

so when i upload my gpx file from garmin connect it doesn't show me any power options on virb. Any ideas/ever experience this before?

[@jakespaude5801]

Like when I upload gmetrix and it tells me all the data I that got transferred, power isnt on the list

[@alyaspandocyclista]

is it can work in garmin forerunner935
