The day's numbers

  1. The mountains stand up off the map, and the peaks carry their names and elevations, Kanin at 2,587 m here. The longest climb gets called out with its average grade.

  2. Each day opens on a card with its distance, elevation gain and moving time.

  3. Photos land on the route where you took them, by the time they were taken. If a camera's clock was off, fix it once and everything shot on that camera moves together.

  4. Rest days stay in as rest days instead of getting dropped.

  5. Clips play where they were shot. A four-minute file usually holds two or three keepers, and you can pull out more than one.

  6. The numbers stay on screen all the way, and the film picks out the highest point, named passes with their elevation and the spot where you crossed a border.

What you get

Four things Premium adds to the free film.

The same moment of a film twice, side by side, on day 2 at 129.7 km as the route crosses into Italy at Gorizia. On the left, in Daylight, the map is green with a blue sea and an orange track. On the right, in Dark slate, the map is near-black with a navy sea and the track in a lighter orange. A
More looksFive more looks for the map: Overcast, Paper, Golden hour, Dark slate, and Time of day, which follows the sun: Dark slate at night, warm around sunrise and sunset, Daylight through the day.
A film frame filled by a photograph of a rider in a stone tunnel, a church tower in the sunlit village beyond. In the bottom corner, a small map tile carries the orange route. B
Photos firstYour photos and clips fill the frame, and the route keeps drawing itself in the corner.
Your soundtrackPick the style, ask for another take, and set the dials for layers, rhythm and tone. The score follows your climbs, speed, heart rate or power.
The free opening: a title card over the faded map, reading Wed, Jul 29, 5 days riding, 6 days total, 469.5 km.
The same title card over a photograph of the Soča gorge, its green water between wooded cliffs.
D
The opening shotsOpen the film on your own photo or clip with the title over it, and pick which shots come first. Naming the film stays free.

Always free: your whole trip from your own files, every export size, the Daylight map, the default score, naming the film, the clock fix.
