Edit Mind × Strava - Every clip matched to the Strava activity it's from
by•
Connect Strava and Edit Mind matches every scene in your footage to the activity it was shot on: heart rate, speed, elevation, and distance, aligned to the frame. Any camera works, GoPro/action-cam GPS telemetry makes the match exact.

Hey,
I'm Ilias, an indie maker and a cyclist in my free time. I take videos while I'm riding my bike using my smartphone or my GoPro camera, and I wanna sync and index my videos to my Strava to have video playback while seeing my ride stats.
I spent a couple of days working on this feature of video playback, and you can now search your videos using your Strava activity data like speed, elevation, PR, heart rate- you name it.
Matching footage to heart rate, speed, elevation, and distance at the frame level is useful. How does Edit Mind handle clock drift or missing timestamps when combining footage from multiple cameras with one Strava activity?

@adityaharish2002 If you're using an action camera, I'm using GPS data to match the Strava activity to the video. I'm using the creation date as a fallback to match non-action cameras like your smartphone videos
@iliashaddad3 using GPS data for action cameras makes sense.

@adityaharish2002 Thank you!
I work out at the gym. What would be a different prompt than just "give me videos of when I was running on the treadmill"?

@kamil_infeld Yes, it could be something like this: "Give me moments where I hit my heartbeat's peak moment". You could use Strava data points to search and get the video moments, not only the video files.
the creation-date fallback for phone footage makes sense but phone clocks are the part I'd worry about - travel across timezones without updating settings, or a phone that's just a few minutes off, would throw the match off in a way you wouldn't notice until playback looks wrong. is there any sanity check against the Strava activity's actual start/end window to catch a phone clock that's off, or does it trust the file timestamp as-is
honestly this looks super useful for anyone drowning in footage. one thing that would make it a no-brainer for me though is adding some kind of waveform or audio-based search so you can pull clips based on what's being said, not just what's on screen

@rubyjames Yes, I do have audio search. You can search by transcription; describe what I've heard, like laughing, clapping, or wind noise.
honestly the local search is a game changer, pulling up clips from my timeline without uploading anything feels weirdly fast. basically cuts out the whole cloud step i never liked anyway.

@jasmine_che Yes, your video footage will stay ours
congrats on the launch. this is such a clever niche use case, matching GoPro or action-cam footage frame by frame to Strava telemetry is exactly the kind of manual syncing that eats an afternoon otherwise. question - what happens if you do two activities back to back with basically no gap, like a bike ride straight into a run. does it cleanly split the footage between the two Strava activities or does the boundary get fuzzy right at the transition?

@omri_ben_shoham1 Yes, it can do. The video footage of biking will grab the biking Strava activity and do the same for running.
