Thanks for that but DashWare appears to be mac only. I don't see how this could work with FCP

@paullb Dashware is Windows only, but they claim it runs well under Bootcamp.

<p>Now if your can't get your footage into VIRB for some reason, you could try to import the TCX/GPX and see if it will just output the gauges. If that doesn't work, create a chromakey video with a blank green or blue screen and import data to add the gauges. Export the video and you'll then have a chroma keyed gauges plate to drop into FCP.</p>

Is there a way to do something like this in Apple Motion using data that is formatted in the correct file format?

I'm not at all familiar with Motion, but every hint I've seen since posting this still uses VIRB software.

<p>I often see a speedometer in people's videos. I have time indexed speed data, is there any way to get it into the video (as text even) in Final Cut Pro?</p>

<p>Data is in TCX (or GPX) but I could easily write a script to convert that to another format.</p>

What is the format of your time indexed speed data? Have you checked out https://sites.google.com/site/verymadmart/cyclecam

@PaulZagoridis I did come across that. Current versions of the Java Runtime don't have the 32-bit processor though. It's a fair effort to set that up but may wind up being the only reasonable option. Thanks!

You can use the free [Dashware](http://www.dashware.net/) app, which is normally used to overlay telemetry data directly on footage.

As per the [FAQ](http://www.dashware.net/faq/),
