Flyover video
A 3D flyover video of your run, ride or hike
Relic flies a camera along your exact GPS line over real 3D terrain and turns it into a short vertical video, made for Instagram Reels and Stories. Bring the activity from Strava or a GPX file; you'll have a clip to post a few minutes later.
What's in the video
- The chase. A camera follows a marker along your route over a 3D terrain map, so climbs look like climbs.
- Kilometre flashes. Each kilometre pops up as you cross it, with the split pace (or speed, for rides).
- Landmarks. Named peaks, passes and places near your line are labelled as you pass them.
- The reveal. The camera pulls back and rotates to show the whole route from above.
- The outro. A closing card with distance, time and elevation gain.
How to make one
- Sign in with Google or email.
- Connect Strava, or upload a GPX file (see how to export a GPX from your watch or app).
- Pick the activity and open The Flyover.
- Preview it, then download the MP4 and post it.
Why a flyover beats a screenshot
A flat map screenshot hides the thing that made the day hard. A flyover shows the ground you covered: the switchbacks, the ridge, the long drag to the finish. It's also the format social feeds reward right now. A short vertical video holds attention far longer than a static image of a squiggle.
Want a still instead? The same activity also makes four poster formats for your feed.
Questions
About 28 seconds: the chase along your route, a pull-back that reveals the whole line, and a short outro card with your stats. Long activities are sped up to fit, so a marathon and a 5K both land at Reel length.
A 9:16 vertical MP4, the shape Instagram Reels, Stories, TikTok and YouTube Shorts expect.
Yes. Upload a GPX exported from Garmin, Coros, Wahoo, Apple Watch or any app that writes one, and make the flyover the same way.
Yes. Rides show average speed instead of pace; hikes and trail runs are where the 3D terrain shows off the most.
Yes, flyover videos are free to make and download.
