FitCam Video Editor: Edit Workout Videos with Live Stats on iPhone

A complete guide to FitCam's built-in video editor — import footage from any source, sync workout data, trim clips, and export data-rich workout videos without a desktop app.

Most fitness video workflows look like this: record with a camera, export the file, import it into a desktop editor, manually add data overlays, export again, compress for social, upload. It's an hour of work per video. FitCam's Video Editor was built to collapse that entire process into a few minutes on your iPhone.

What the Video Editor does

The Video Editor lets you take video from any source — your iPhone camera roll, a GoPro, a Garmin Dash Cam, any action camera — and pair it with workout data. That data can come from an Apple Watch workout session, a GPX file exported from Strava or Garmin, or both simultaneously. FitCam syncs the data timeline to the video timeline, then renders the overlay as you'd see it in a live recording session.

Supported input sources

  • iPhone Camera Roll (any video recorded natively or imported)
  • GoPro footage transferred via AirDrop or the Files app
  • Action camera footage from Garmin, Insta360, DJI, and others
  • GPX files from Strava, Wahoo, Garmin Connect, Komoot
  • Apple Watch workout sessions recorded during the same activity

Syncing video to workout data

After importing your video and data source, FitCam presents a timeline. You drag the data track to align it with the video — matching the moment the workout started to the first frame of footage. Once synced, every second of video is paired with the corresponding metrics. Scrubbing through the timeline shows the overlay updating in real time.

Trimming

The editor has a simple trim tool to cut the start and end of the clip. For ride or run highlights, this lets you isolate the most interesting segment — the final climb, the sprint finish, the heaviest set — without keeping dead footage.

Choosing overlays in the editor

You have access to the same full overlay library as live recording. Pick the overlay that matches the sport and the metrics you want to show: speed and heart rate for cycling, pace and zone for running, rep count and heart rate for strength work. The overlay previews over the video before you export so you can adjust positioning.

Export

Export renders the video with the overlays composited into the frames and saves to your Camera Roll. The output is a standard MP4 ready to upload anywhere — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Strava — without further processing.

Who this is for

  • Cyclists who film with a GoPro and want their Strava data on the footage
  • Runners who record themselves and want pace/zone overlay added after the fact
  • Athletes at events where they can't hold a phone but wear a GPS watch
  • Anyone who wants more editing control than a live recording session allows

Import your footage and add live workout stats — no desktop editor needed.
