DJI telemetry overlay
for speed & heart rate
Put speed and heart rate on your DJI video with GaugeReel, the desktop app from gaugereel.net. Pair the video with a separate FIT or GPX activity recorded during the action. Choose the numbers your activity contains, check the timing, and export an overlay for your video editor.
Add numbers to your DJI video
Import the recorded activity alongside your DJI clip. Check the data against a visible stop or start and adjust the time offset until it matches the action. Then design and export your gauges.
Pair exported DJI footage with a supported, recorded FIT or GPX activity from your bike computer, watch or phone, then adjust its timing against the clip. Native DJI GPS-remote metadata and drone SRT, TXT or DAT logs are not direct inputs. These camera models identify footage sources, not telemetry parsers.
Import
Drop in an MP4 and/or a GPS track. GPMF is auto-scanned from the video; FIT and GPX load as external files. Attach several sources to one project.
- MP4 preview source
- GPX · FIT · GPMF
- Multi-source projects
- Video-less mode
Sync
Find a visible start, stop or turn in your clip and adjust the data offset until the gauges match. Check another point later; use stretch if timing drifts. Each source has its own alignment.
- Match a visible event
- Offset & stretch
- Sync-to anchors
- Data-speed modes
Design
Add speed, heart rate or other gauges your recording supports. Start with Free styles, then place and resize the numbers over your clip.
- Choose recorded readings
- Free styles available
- Reusable profiles
- Grid & safe-areas
Export the layer
Free exports transparent PNG sequences or chroma-key MP4, up to 1920 pixels wide, 1080 high and 30 fps. Basic adds transparent ProRes 4444 MOV and VP9 WebM, or burns the gauges straight into your video as a finished MP4 / ProRes MOV.
- PNG or chroma MP4 on Free
- No watermark or time limit
- Alpha video or burn-in on Basic+
- Choose a short test first
Finish your video
Place the overlay on a track above your footage in a compatible video editor. Remove the colored background for chroma MP4, align the layer, then export the finished video.
- Overlay above the footage
- Chroma key for MP4
- Check timing and readability
- Final export in your editor

From the Osmo Action and Osmo 360
to the Mavic, Air, Mini & Avata.
These models supply footage. Use a supported FIT activity exported from Garmin, Wahoo or iGPSPORT, or a recorded GPX track, for the numbers. Reframe or stitch Osmo 360 footage and export the video first. DJI GPS-remote metadata and drone SRT, TXT or DAT logs are not direct inputs.

Choose your data source — record a timestamped activity with a watch, bike computer or phone. Footage compatibility does not imply support for every camera's native metadata. Brand names are the property of their respective owners; GaugeReel is an independent overlay tool and is not affiliated with DJI.
What you can show on
DJI footage.
Show speed, altitude and a route from your recorded activity. Add heart rate, power or cadence when the activity file contains those measurements. The numbers describe the recorded activity, so choose data that matches the action in your video.
Runner
Pace, distance, heart rate, cadence and elevation.
Walker
Gentler metrics — speed, distance, elevation, route and time.
Cyclist
Speed, power, cadence, heart rate and gradient.
Car / Moto
Speed, g-forces, lean and acceleration when recorded.
A transparent layer over your DJI footage
GaugeReel never re-encodes your DJI clip. It renders only the gauge overlay and exports a layer with a real alpha channel, so you drop it onto a track above your Osmo or drone footage and the instruments sit cleanly over the action.
- Free: PNG image sequence with a true alpha channel
- Basic and Premium: ProRes 4444 MOV or VP9 WebM with real alpha
- Free: chroma-key MP4; remove its colored background in your editor
- Composite in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, After Effects or CapCut
DJI overlay questions, answered
The specifics of getting telemetry from your gear onto your footage.
Yes — pair your exported DJI footage with a timestamped GPX or Garmin FIT track, align it in GaugeReel, and export an overlay for your editor. Reframe or stitch Osmo 360 footage first. DJI GPS-remote metadata and drone SRT, TXT or DAT logs are not direct telemetry inputs; you need a supported GPX or FIT source.
