GoPro telemetry overlay
for speed & heart rate

Import the original GoPro MP4 into GaugeReel, the desktop app from gaugereel.net, to scan any embedded GPMF telemetry. Available streams depend on the camera and recording. For HERO12 or footage without GPS, add a recorded GPX or Garmin FIT track. Choose a gauge layout, sync it to the footage, then export a transparent overlay for your video editor.

Yes, with different GPS sources. HERO11 Black and HERO13 Black can record GPS in the original MP4; GaugeReel reads GoPro GPMF, including GPS5 and GPS9 when present. HERO12 Black has no GPS receiver, so speed and route overlays need a recorded GPX or Garmin FIT track. A camera recording without usable GPS also needs an external track for those gauges.

Export the completed ride as a FIT activity from your Wahoo or iGPSPORT device or companion app, then import the supported file alongside your exported video in GaugeReel. Use the recorded activity, not a planned route: the file needs timestamps and the measurements you want to show. Adjust the data offset against a visible stop or start, then export gauges for a track above your footage in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere or Final Cut. The same file-based workflow applies to Insta360, DJI and GoPro footage; reframe or stitch 360 video first. Heart rate, power and cadence must have been recorded by your sensors. Free includes core gauges and PNG-sequence or chroma-key MP4 export; route/map gauges require Basic or Premium. This is compatible-file import, not a direct Wahoo or iGPSPORT account connection or certification of every device model.

To composite the overlay, import GaugeReel’s transparent export — a Free PNG sequence or a Basic/Premium ProRes 4444 / VP9 file with a real alpha channel — onto a track above your footage in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, After Effects or CapCut, and the gauges sit cleanly over your video. For editors without alpha support, export a chroma-key MP4 instead. If you don’t want to use an editor at all, Basic and Premium can burn the gauges straight into your footage and export a finished MP4 or ProRes MOV with the original audio. Premium users can also send the overlay straight into DaVinci Resolve in one click.

A transparent (alpha) overlay is an overlay layer in which everything except the gauges is fully transparent, so it can sit on top of your footage without a background box. GaugeReel exports PNG sequences and ProRes 4444 / VP9 video with alpha. Chroma-key MP4 is an alternative without an alpha channel; remove its colored background in your editor.

Only if you ask it to. By default GaugeReel renders the gauge overlay as a separate transparent layer and leaves your original footage untouched for you to composite in your own editor. On Basic and Premium you can instead choose “Gauges on your video”, which composites the gauges onto your footage (using the same sync as the preview) and writes a new finished MP4 or ProRes MOV with the original audio — your source file is never modified.

GaugeReel supports recorded FIT activities, GPX tracks (including supported Garmin extensions), and GoPro GPMF embedded in an MP4. FIT is a format used by Garmin, Wahoo, iGPSPORT and other devices; it is not limited to Garmin-branded hardware. Available gauges depend on the supported fields actually recorded. Pair the activity with exported footage from your camera. Native DJI logs and Insta360 INSV telemetry are not direct inputs.

Free includes transparent PNG sequences and chroma-key MP4, with separate limits of 1920 pixels wide, 1080 pixels high and 30 fps. Basic adds transparent ProRes 4444 MOV and VP9 WebM at the same dimensions and up to 60 fps, plus burn-in export (gauges composited onto your video as H.264 MP4 or ProRes 422 HQ MOV, audio kept). Premium adds higher dimensions and frame rates plus Send to Resolve. A 1080 × 1920 portrait overlay requires Premium. PNG and alpha video carry transparency; MP4 requires chroma keying in your editor. GPU hardware encoding is available on every tier.

Yes. GaugeReel Free imports supported GPX/FIT activities and GoPro GPMF, with core speed, heart-rate, cadence and power gauges when those fields are recorded. Free is an ongoing $0 plan. Export a transparent PNG sequence or chroma-key MP4 at up to 1920 pixels wide, 1080 pixels high and 30 fps, with no watermark or time limit, then combine it with your footage in a video editor. Route/map gauges, full styling, transparent MOV/WebM video and burning the gauges into your footage need Basic or Premium. Basic is $10/month and includes ProRes 4444 MOV, VP9 WebM and burn-in export; Premium is $20/month and adds higher dimensions, further gauges and Send to Resolve. A finished video with a moving route map is not an entirely free GaugeReel workflow.
