How do I add telemetry overlays to a GoPro video?

Import the original GoPro file into LiveLayer, let the app read the embedded telemetry, drag overlays into the timeline, preview the result, and export the finished video.

Does LiveLayer need the original GoPro file?

For best results, use the original camera file. Edited or transcoded files may strip GPS and sensor metadata before LiveLayer can read it.

Can LiveLayer repair GoPro telemetry issues?

LiveLayer includes a telemetry repair workflow for certain GPS issues, plus diagnostics to show whether usable sensor streams are available.

GoPro telemetry overlay software

Add GPS, speed, and altitude overlays to GoPro footage.

LiveLayer turns embedded GoPro telemetry into visual overlay layers for action videos, then exports everything together as a finished video for macOS and Windows creators.

Telemetry overlays built from the video file itself

LiveLayer reads GoPro telemetry streams when they are present in the source file, then gives you visual gauges that can be placed on a timeline.

Speed and movement

Speedometers, acceleration, G-force, heading, and live movement context for fast action footage.

GPS and route context

Track outlines, route traces, elevation profiles, and location-aware graphics from embedded GoPro data.

Activity-specific gauges

Aviation instruments, dirt bike trip gauges, 4x4 pitch/roll, snowboarding slope overlays, and more.

GoPro overlay workflows LiveLayer supports

Dirt bike and off-road footage

Show speed, route, trip distance, altitude, and ride context without hand-keyframing graphics.
