How To Overlay Speedometer On Videos

Overlaying speed, elevation, grade, and heart rate to dirt bike or mountain bike videos is easier then you might think. Below is a video I have done and the Step By Step on how to do this your-self.

Step 1

First gather the data you want to overlay in your video. If you want speed, grade, elevation and map I suggest downloading the app Strava. Keep in mind you must have the premium version in order to download the GPX files which is $6 a month or $60 a year. I use and suggest buying a Fitbit Surge which is a watch that tracks your heart rate, step count, and also has a built in GPS that will track your ride information. 

Step 2

Download the free video editing software offered by Virb Editing.

Step 3

Download GPX or TCX file from your ride.  

Premium Strava Users

1. Go to your dashboard on PC
2. Go to training on top menu.
3. Click My Activities
4. Under Title click ride you want to overlay
5. Scroll down and click GPX over map.

Fitbit Users

1. Go to your Fitbit dashboard
2. Click on ride under Recent Excerise
3. Click 3 dots icon on top right.
4. Export TCX file

Step 4

This step is for Fitbit Users only. Next you have to convert your TCX file into a GPX file which is easy and free. 

1. Download Garmin BaseCamp. 
2. Under File click Import 
3. Import your FitBit TCX file
4. Under File Click Export
5. Export your information
6. Your TCX file is now a GPX file
