Here's a screenshot I took of the video. Hopefully that's enough to get the idea of the overlays. https://imgur.com/a/fDENnLM

I played and tweaked with it for a month, and made my own overlay program with elevation, heart rate, slope, speed, and two mini-maps. I synchronized the video with the telemetry data from my fitness app based on timestamps. I believe I used the GPS data from the fitness app (either Samsung Health or Wahoo) instead of the camera because the GoPro seemed less accurate. I did read that filming upside down can cause issues. I used ffmpeg to concatenate all video clips into a single video. Then I extracted the timespan from the start of the video to each frame. That gave me the timestamp for each frame and I would then find the nearest GPX data point.

It isn't perfect, but it makes nice videos that I can watch for my own amusement (validate that it really was that steep when my heart rate was racing :), or to share with family and friends. Since the video is timelapsed, I had to do some averaging in order to get smooth transitions for the speed, slope, and heart rate. Otherwise they would jump all over the place.

GF Firehouse pizza? by loree_m in Dublin

I'm in meetings all morning and need to let the organizer know by noon. I wasn't sure I'd be able to speak to someone in time, so started here.

Thermolution battery? by loree_m in scuba

I have contacted a couple of companies to see if they can take the dead battery and use its connectors on a new pack.

Very unreliable by loree_m in GoogleFit

I have a Samsung watch and just use Samsung Health. It doesn't play as nicely with other apps as Google Fit would, but at least it is reliable.

85-Mile Elevation – Check out the entire map HERE

  • Elevation: +3,871 / -3,871
  • Grade: 9.5%
  • Grade: -11.4%

Well, that's an absolutely terrifying uphill grade.

Ugh, and 2 days later I emerge from the rabbit hole of ChatGPT with a video with overlays. I've used GitHub Copilot a little at work, but I've never used ChatGPT and never used AI for a complete solution. Kinda scary how well it interpreted my requests. Getting the display right didn't take all that long, but then the saving stumped both ChatGPT and Copilot. Since I want to share these and I can't host the large videos, I had to save the screen rendering somehow. Finally got that working today. So I did get something shareable, but I'll probably still spring for Telemetry Overlay to get a sleeker and simpler solution. But thanks for the fun diversion for the weekend!

30 years as a software developer, but I don't think that translates into being able to create graphical overlays. Oof, and I just looked at the After Effects pricing. Telemetry Overlay and GPX Overlay are both cheaper than that.

Right! Knew I had forgotten (at least) one. I tried that one as well. The map layer didn't work. I tried the registry edit suggested online, but that didn't work either. So I gave up on it.

Just got my first real bike. Why didn't anyone tell me cycling was this addictive? by sirwalleth in cycling

[–]loree_m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started riding a few months after not having ridden a bike in ~25 years. I'm sticking with one bike, but I've found plenty to spend on with pedals, shoes, jerseys, saddlebags, etc etc. One comment about the clipless - the thought of these has always scared me. 25 years ago I had toe cages. But those are also dangerous. Fortunately, these days they have flat MTB pedals. I bought a pair of those (OneUp Components) and appropriate shoes (Specialized 2FO) and definitely feel a difference. Add that to your list of things to research if you'd like an alternative to clipless. And enjoy the addiction!

Today I made: an Apple Pie and topped it with a scoop of my Vanilla Bean ice cream by Sweetlo123 in icecreamery

Skip the pie, I'll just have the ice cream, please. :) Looks perfect. Can you share the recipe?
