Add a GPX recording to your video.

Use a completed activity with timestamps.

A GPX file is a container for geographic data. It might hold a route you planned to follow, or a track recorded as you moved. For a video overlay, choose the recorded activity: its timestamps connect positions on the route to moments in your footage.

Export the activity from the device or service that recorded it and keep the original file. Check that its date, duration and route cover the section you filmed. A planned route without recorded timing cannot tell you your actual speed through a corner.

The camera can record video independently. See the action camera guide if you are still choosing how to record the two sources.

Choose the activity, then add your footage.

1. Choose New project. On Activity, select GPX, FIT, or TCX and browse to your recording. You can also drop the activity file or its folder onto this step.
2. If the file contains more than one Activity session, choose the one matching your footage. Check the available metrics and warnings, then choose Continue.
3. On Preview, inspect the activity and optionally trim its start and end. Speed and elevation profiles help locate the section you want.
4. On Videos, choose or drop your footage. If Movaro found videos beside the activity, Use these selects that folder. Review the scanned files and remove any you do not want.
5. On Details, set the project name, category and location. Review the optional summary, then create the project.

Videos are optional. Choose Skip — overlay only on the Videos step to export one overlay for the activity's full or trimmed range, with a transparent or solid-colour background. Videos outside the trimmed range are marked and skipped, so widen the trim if it excludes footage you intended to use.

Movaro reports available metrics and duration during activity selection. A sensor recording without GPS can still be useful, but it will not provide a route map. If the result does not resemble the activity you filmed, check the file and session before editing the overlay.

Match a place in the video to the same place on the route.

Start with the automatic alignment and preview a recognizable turn or junction. If the map marker gets there too early or too late, open Tools → Sync video and route and follow these four steps.

1. Select the video.

Choose the clip from the Videos list. Find a place you can identify on the map: a sharp turn, bridge or junction is usually easier than a long straight path. On a loop or an out-and-back route, check that you are looking at the right pass through that location.

2. Mark the video moment.

Play or scrub the source preview and pause when you reach the reference point. Choose Mark video moment. Movaro keeps this mark while you find the corresponding position on the track.

3. Mark the track moment.

Move along the track timeline while watching the route marker. When it reaches the same place, choose Mark track moment. Fine control helps with small movements; turn it off to travel farther along the recording.

4. Review and apply.

Review the two marked moments and the proposed timing adjustment. Use the 0.1-second controls for a small correction. Under Where to apply the offset, choose Project to adjust every video, or choose the selected-video option for videos checked in the Videos list. Then choose Apply offset.

If you enter a project-wide offset directly in Overlays, choose Apply or press Enter to save it. Revert discards an unapplied change.

Check the live overlay after changing sync.

Overlays refresh automatically when you apply an offset or change the layout and settings, including while paused. Play or scrub around the marked moment to check the alignment. There is no preview-generation step.

Replay the marked location, then check another clear point later in the clip. If both line up, continue through the rest of the footage. If the difference grows or changes suddenly after a pause, inspect the source recording and correct affected videos separately where appropriate. An offset cannot fill missing activity data.

Choose a layout with the metrics your file supplies. The ride data guide explains which readouts suit different cycling sequences and how to keep the footage readable.

In Movaro 1.4.3, route and elevation maps can use a dot, ring or direction arrow with adjustable marker size and outline. You can style the travelled and remaining route separately to help viewers follow the activity.

Make a short export before rendering the full edit.

Trim and arrange the clips in Main edit, then inspect Final video before opening Exports. Choose Timeline for the assembled movie, including placed highlights and Cutaways; Clips for separate videos with telemetry; or Overlays for assets with a transparent or solid-colour background. An activity-only project offers Overlays for its full or trimmed range. The export guide compares the three outputs.

A green, blue or custom background is useful when another editor needs chroma key instead of transparent video. Standard-quality solid-colour exports are available on every plan; High quality requires Creator, Studio or Founder.

Watch the exported file in a video player. Check the timing, units and readability, including any portrait crop. The overlay refresh rate controls how often the telemetry is redrawn; it does not create extra samples in the original GPX recording.
