GoPro telemetry overlay
for speed, GPS & power
GaugeReel auto-reads the GPMF telemetry your GoPro records straight from the MP4 — GPS speed, altitude, accelerometer and gyro — and renders it as animated speed, GPS and g-force gauges synced to your footage, exported as a transparent layer you composite in any editor.
From your GoPro MP4 to a broadcast overlay
No separate extractor app and no spreadsheet. Drop the clip in, GaugeReel scans the embedded GPMF, you design the gauges, then export a transparent layer.
Auto-reads the GPMF telemetry GoPro embeds in the MP4 from HERO 5 Black onward — GPS, speed, altitude, accelerometer and gyro. For GPS-less models (HERO 12) or older HERO 1–4, pair any GPX or Garmin FIT track and GaugeReel syncs it to your footage.
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
Auto-align on embedded timestamps, then fine-tune with a manual offset and stretch until gauges hit every on-screen event. Per-source, applied to every bound gauge.
- Timestamp auto-sync
- Offset & stretch
- Sync-to anchors
- Data-speed modes
Design
Compose the overlay on a canvas at your project resolution. Add gauges from a searchable catalogue, drag with snapping, and edit every detail in the inspector.
- Drag · snap · lock
- Deep per-gauge editor
- Reusable profiles
- Grid & safe-areas
Export
Pick resolution, frame rate and range, then render a transparent overlay — PNG sequence, ProRes 4444 / VP9 with real alpha, or chroma-key MP4. Composite it anywhere.
- Transparent PNG seq
- ProRes 4444 / VP9 alpha
- Chroma-key MP4
- GPU hardware encode
Every GoPro that writes telemetry —
HERO 5 Black through HERO 13.
GaugeReel auto-reads GPMF from HERO 5 Black onward, including the HERO 11, 12 and 13 Black. Older HERO 1–4, the Session line and the 360 cameras work by pairing a GPX or Garmin FIT track.

Older or GPS-less GoPro — pair a GPX or Garmin FIT track from a watch, bike computer or phone and GaugeReel syncs it to your footage by timestamp. Brand names are the property of their respective owners; GaugeReel is an independent overlay tool and is not affiliated with GoPro.
What you can show from
GoPro telemetry.
Speed, altitude, g-force and a live GPS route come straight from the GPMF in the file. Pair a FIT track to add heart rate, power and cadence — then render any field as a dial, a bar, a graph or a tape.
Runner
Pace, distance, heart rate, cadence and elevation.
Walker
Gentler metrics — speed, distance, elevation, route and time.
Cyclist
Speed, power, cadence, heart rate, gradient and gears.
Car / Moto
Speed, g-forces, lean, acceleration and lap timing.
A transparent layer over your GoPro footage
GaugeReel never re-encodes your GoPro 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 footage and the instruments sit cleanly over the action.
- PNG image sequence with a true alpha channel
- ProRes 4444 or VP9 MOV/WEBM with real alpha
- Chroma-key MP4 for editors without alpha support
- Composite in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, After Effects or CapCut
GoPro overlay questions, answered
The specifics of getting telemetry from your gear onto your footage.
Drop your GoPro MP4 into GaugeReel and it auto-scans the embedded GPMF telemetry — GPS speed, altitude, accelerometer and gyro. Pick a gauge layout, sync it to the footage, then export a transparent overlay you drop over the clip in any editor. The same works for DJI GPMF clips.
