Cycling route animation

Create an Animated Cycling Route Video

Transform a road, gravel, MTB, or bikepacking GPX into a 3D video with speed, elevation, distance, photos, and route progress.

Tell the full story of the ride

Use a route from your bike computer or activity platform, then make the geography easy to follow.

  1. 1

    Get the ride GPX

    Export from Garmin, Strava, Komoot, Ride with GPS, or another service.

  2. 2

    Frame the terrain

    Choose a camera and map that make climbs, descents, and switchbacks legible.

  3. 3

    Add ride context

    Show distance, speed, elevation, progress, pictures, and day-by-day journey segments.

  4. 4

    Export for your channel

    Record landscape for YouTube or vertical and square variants for social posts.

Designed for the shape of a ride

Try it with your route

Road to bikepacking

Use one recorded ride or assemble multiple GPX files into a continuous journey.

Climbs in context

Pair 3D terrain and elevation data to show why a route felt hard.

Ride progression

Use timing data and playback controls to communicate the rhythm of the activity.

Cycling videos that explain the route

A route animation is useful before the ride as a course overview and after it as part of a recap. It can bridge footage gaps while showing viewers where the next climb, town, or stage fits.

For long-distance trips, combine daily GPX files into a journey and use annotations or photos to mark stops. For races, add a comparison track to explain two lines or attempts.

Common questions

Can I animate a multi-day bikepacking route?

Yes. Import multiple GPX files and organize them as journey segments.

Can it show speed and elevation?

TrailReplay can display statistics supported by the imported data and calculated route profile.

Which cycling platforms work?

Any platform that lets you export a standard GPX or KML route can feed TrailReplay.

Your route already has a story.

Turn it into a replay you can share.
