![]() ![]() It catches up to what Sony, Garmin, and others have done – likely through using components from GoPro’s acquisition of Dashware in the Spring of 2015. This allows folks with the GoPro Hero5 Black camera, which contains GPS, to add in metrics like speed, distance, vertical, and more. Finally, use the "Motion" parameters to move them to where you want them on the final edit.Today GoPro rolled out their data overlay capability to the GoPro Quik desktop suite.Any transparency in the gauges should also work. Now you should see your gauges overlaid on your clip.Click somewhere on the green area of the screen.Under the "Effects Controls" panel find the "Ultra Key" effect parameters panel.You still won't see your underlying video yet. Drag it onto this green screen clip in the timeline.Under the "Effects" Panel select Video Effect / Keying / Ultra Key.At this point all you will see is the gauges overlaid on a green screen.Drop it over the video you are working on.Import the green screen gauges clip into your project.Overlay Green Screen Gauges Into Adobe Premier: In Virb Edit you can "Trim-Right" at the clip location right where the G-Metrix data ends to cut down on the export time.Select the G-Metrix and synch both to the start.Import this file video clip instead of the actual flight videos.This can be reused for other gauge overlays as long as it is longer than the actual flight log.Export the Media as a MP4 with the same settings as your gopro video.Enter a fairly long duration (I just did one for 3hrs which would be the longest flight).Right click on the clip in the timeline.Import the green image you just created.Make it a 1080p 29.97fps (or whatever resolution you will be editing). Open up Adobe Premier and create a new project.This will be the "Key" color and is often green. It must be a color you won't have in your gauges. Using the paint fill tool drop in a solid color.Create a new image that is 1920x1080 (or whatever resolution you are filming in).Go to Paint or any other bitmap editor.So here is what I did:Ĭreate A Re-useable Green Screen background What If You Use Another Video Editor? As mentioned earlier I use Adobe Premier and want to do my editing there. You can now export the video (upper right corner).Then drag the red circle along the map path to that same point.First advance the movie clip to a a good synch location (takeoff roll, etc).Select the "G-Metrix Synch" down near the bottom.You will also want to align it to the clips you are using.You can drag these gauges around, delete them, replace them etc. ![]() Scub the timeline bar back and forth and you can see the gauges updating.You will now see the default Speed and Elevation gauges overlaid on the screen.Click the "Use this log" button (bottom of screen).You will see your flight path overlaid on a map.Find the GPX file you initially downloaded.Select the "G-Metrix" menu option (far left side).You will see the first frame of the clip in the preview window (Upper left area) Drag these clips down onto the timeline (bottom area of the editor).The selected clips will show up in the "Media Gallery".You can even add video clips from other cameras, phones, etc including VIRB Browse for the Gopro clips that correspond to this flight.Click on the little down arrow to import.The screen will switch to "Import Clips & Photos".Select "Create Video" and give it a name.Download and install "Virb Edit" (free) from Garmin's official website.You can also export them from the app itself.Select the GPX file and save it someplace where you can find it.On upper right side click on 'Download'.You can see all your data including the AHRS if you have it.Click on the "Details" link on the far right.You will see a listing of all your logged flights.Log into (same user name and password as you GP subscription).Nothing special, just a wing shot and a pair of gauges for speed and altitude This one has a rural airport takeoff, transition from climb to cruise, flying in the Bravo near KMSP and a landing at the downtown St.Paul airport (KSTP). I normally use Adobe Premier so there is a advance example to overlay the gauges using that editor. ![]() I am not a ForeFlight user however I think it can export GPX files as well. I (incorrectly) thought Garmin Pilot only started logging once a user configured speed+altitude threshold was exceeded however it does start the log data prior to that so a full takeoff is actually captured. But I always figured Garmin Pilot was saving enough log data to create these gauge overlays. When you see gauge overlays in aviation videos they always appear to be using at least 1 VIRB camera along with their Gopros. I figured it out this afternoon and thought I would include the steps if it helps anyone else. TLDR: I am not even sure if having these gauges overlaid on the videos is useful or not.
