What is a ride data overlay?

A ride data overlay adds key stats on top of your activity video so the context is clear at a glance. It keeps the footage readable without clutter.

What it shows

Most overlays focus on a few stats. You can keep it light or add detail when it helps the story.

Speed

Speed is the cycling default, with pace as a simple alternative.

Distance and time

How far and how long, without extra noise.

Elevation and gradient

Climb and slope when the terrain matters.

Heart rate or power

Effort signals when you want a deeper view.

Why people use it

The overlay adds clarity without stealing attention from the ride.

Clear context

Viewers know what the activity felt like without guessing.

Better storytelling

The data keeps the narrative grounded in real moments.

Ready to share

The video feels complete with minimal editing.

Works across sports

The same idea works for cycling and running. Cycling visuals are live today, with running support planned. The overlays keep the focus on the story, not the gear.

Supported sports

Road cycling and mountain biking are supported now. Running and trail running are planned as we expand the same clean overlay language.

How a ride data overlay is created

It is a simple blend of ride data and footage, aligned so the stats stay readable without covering the action.

Ride Footage Overlay

Ride file

A ride file provides timing and context. It can come from Strava or GPX.

Footage

Footage provides the visuals. It is the activity itself.

Overlay

The overlay aligns key moments so stats stay readable and out of the way.

Ride data overlay and other labels

Some people call it telemetry, HUD, or OSD. We call it ride data - the key stats that help your video tell the story.

Quick questions

Short answers, plain language

Focused explanations without product details.

What is a ride data overlay? +
It is a clean layer of ride stats placed on top of a video. It gives context without turning the footage into a spreadsheet.
Is it the same as other labels? +
Yes. Those labels point to the same idea. The difference is tone, not function.
What stats are usually shown - and what should be left out? +
Speed, distance, time, and elevation are common. Leave out anything that distracts or hides the view. Less is usually better.
When should an overlay be full vs minimal? +
Full overlays work for long routes or detailed rides. Minimal overlays feel better for short highlights or scenic shots.
Will the overlay cover the video? +
A good overlay stays out of the way. It can sit in corners or thin bands so the footage remains the focus.
