DataLayer Studio
Running video data overlays
Only for Mac
$19.99
Drag media straight onto the timeline, fine-tune alignment to the millisecond, save export presets, and move from edit to delivery in one focused workflow.
Turn running footage into clear, editor-ready data stories.
DataLayer Studio brings videos and FIT/GPX activity files together on a lightweight multitrack timeline. Align real-world moments, design readable telemetry overlays, then export a transparent Alpha layer or a finished video with sound.
• Import multiple videos and FIT/GPX activity files
• Move, trim, split, snap, and organize clips across video and activity tracks
• Preview pace, distance, heart rate, cadence, route, time, weather, power, running dynamics, and more
• Arrange every data widget directly on the canvas and reuse layout presets
• Save timeline projects and relink moved or missing media
• Export a full timeline or individual clips as HEVC/ProRes Alpha overlays or HEVC/H.264 composited videos
Built for Apple silicon, DataLayer Studio keeps the workflow local, visual, and ready for professional editing.
