Virb Edit, creating data overlays for you sports videos. This inbuilt editor is AMAZING, but lets go back to the beginning as to how I started putting this together.

Method

The Walk (that's me and it was freezing outside, mid winter, gets dark at 5:30pm)

  • record using Endomondo the entire walk on my Huawei P8lite
  • during the walk, record snippets on the Sony FDR-X3000 camera
    Video Creation (all with Virb Edit)
  • import all the video clips (as is), place in timeline
  • while playing through the timeline, trim each clip
  • export the GPS to GXP (using Endomondo Website)
  • import the GPX file
    THE SHOCK
  • 1st gauge I added: position - track (the map inside the circle)
  • when played, Virb Edit knew where each video clip appears on the track
  • as you watch this video you can see the dots move accordingly
  • there can be discrepencies within a few meters, you can fine tune if you want
    Completion
  • add music (provided by Virb Edit)
  • add titles

Thoughts
This was all created in-house, no external editors used. I really am impressed with this software (and yes it is free). What is important to realise, the data here is based on a GPS signal and the accuracy of a satelitte. Still, as a graphical indiction I think it is really cool. I really don't like the existing gauges but you do have the ability to create your own.

I wouldn't necessarily use an overlay like this on all my video's, probably when there is sports events, like to 10km charity walks I sometimes participate in. I had fun putting this together.

Note
The Endomondo App provides alot more GPS data than the Sony FDR-X3000 which results in more gauges you can use.
