Video help please

[Steam Pig]

I've seen some some really good videos online which show the route taken animated in the clip, showing points of interest etc. I've had an early garmin virb for a while and have recently upgraded to a virb ultra 30. My videos so far have just been still and the odd motion clip set to background music, and now I'd like to insert some route info as well, but have no idea how to start, any help would be appreciated.

Do you mean load the gpx into mapping software, save an image and insert that into the video as a still caption, or something fancier?

You simply use relive.cc to sync to your data (I use Strava) and they send it to you automagically. You can use the free version, or pay up for some extra functionality.

I may be getting ahead of myself s bit here but, can this be chopped into sections and overlaid onto video images?

Using the free version, you would have to download it and edit it yourself. If you take still images as you cycle and allow them to be loaded to Strava, then Relive will pull them down automatically and embed them in their video. see the demo video at https://www.relive.cc/about

If you want full editing capabilities then you would need to pay for that.

Thanks, I haven't really used Strava, but I'll have a look.
Do you know of any online video tutorials which are more dedicated to cycling activities?

Garmin has some free software for the Virb camera that allows you to overlay gps/power data. You don't have to have Garmin camera to use it.
