VIRB EDIT FIX FOR API ISSUES SYNCING G-METRIX DATA & VIDEO BY ALTERING XML FILES

Thanks to Flick87 I am now able use use VIRB EDIT again & sync G-Metrix data with my videos.

Flick87 posted a fix by altering Telemetry Timings in XML files. It is quite a simple method once you get the hang of it & I have found it to be quicker than the original Google Map sync when syncing multiple videos. It also eliminated the slight hesitation I sometimes got with the time gauge when joining videos. I found my videos were actually 8m 52.5 seconds long.

I have made a short YouTube video showing the way I did it, with an Excel Document for calculating the timings that you will need to alter in the XML file.

My data timings were one hour different to the Strava time. I don’t know whether this relates to which time zone you are in compared to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). I would be interested to know.

I have been using a GoPro Hero 7 with Strava GPX / FIT files.

If I have made any errors or if you have any comments please let me know.

  • FYI, I have just done a 10 segment video (80 minutes). I added each video's G-Metrix first . Then, after finding the first video's correct start time, I altered the Telemetry Timings for every XML file using the Excel Document calculator.  I found it a lot easier, quicker & more accurate than the old way when syncing with maps. It used to take me ages finding the exact end of one video & the start of the next.  Anyone else find this system easy?

  • Just a thought, check the internal clock on your video recorder. My GoPro gains time. Was 8 minutes out when I checked. I don't know whether this could be why some of my timings were a bit out recently. Diary note made to check every month Wink
