ZTrack — video editor overlay telemetry, product overview

ZTrack is a video editor overlay telemetry application — a non-linear editor purpose-built for action-camera workflows. It looks and feels like a Premiere Pro / Sony Vegas hybrid — multi-track timeline, source/program preview, ripple/roll/rate-stretch tools, J-K-L shuttle, undo history panel — but its data model treats telemetry as a peer to video and audio. Below is a guided tour of what makes the editor different from a generic NLE.

Telemetry as a first-class track type

Every project has at least one telemetry track. Drop a GPX from your bike computer, a FIT export from your Garmin or Wahoo, an SRT sidecar from a DJI Mavic / Air / Mini drone, a KML route, or a CSV with arbitrary columns and ZTrack parses it, indexes it with binary search for sub-millisecond lookup, and binds it to gauge clips on overlay tracks. Each gauge clip references a telemetry source plus a gauge template, so the same data file can feed a speedometer, an altimeter and a map simultaneously without recomputation.

63 gauge templates with a built-in designer

Out of the box ZTrack ships 63 SVG gauge templates: 24 universal designs (analog speedometer, digital altitude block, compass rose, attitude indicator, fuel gauge, RPM dial, tachometer, lap counter, distance bar, heading arrow…) and 39 activity-specific designs covering motorcycle, aviation, drone, boat, cycling, 360° video, ski, crash reconstruction, running, windsurfing, scuba diving, speedboating, rowing, rocketry, off-roading, rock climbing, foil SUP, indoor cycling, jet-ski, dog training, video preview, four map variants and two telemetry dashboards. The SVG Overlay Designer lets you import any SVG (Pro plan), bind elements to data channels, sequence SMIL animations, and export the result as a reusable .ZTrack-overlay file.

Multi-cam, 360° and a real cinema export

The multi-cam workflow synchronises up to 8 cameras by audio waveform, GPS time or manual offset, then lets you switch the active angle live during playback. 360° equirectangular footage is decoded with a reframing keyframe rig: you keyframe yaw / pitch / roll / FoV and the export bakes a regular 16:9 (or 9:16) video. Export goes through a real cinema pipeline — ProRes 422 / 4444 / XQ, Avid DNxHD 1080p and DNxHR (LB / SQ / HQ / HQX / 444), GoPro CineForm — driven by a sidecar FFmpeg binary with hardware acceleration (NVENC / QSV / AMF / VideoToolbox) auto-detected at runtime.

Pro NLE toolkit

RaceRender-class telemetry pipeline

For motorsport editors coming from RaceRender or DashWare, ZTrack ships the same advanced primitives: math channels (build a custom data series from any combination of source channels with a formula), sensor calibration (offset, scale, unit conversion), data smoothing (moving average plus Kalman), interpolation for missing samples (linear, cubic, Hermite), GPS-based lap detection with start/finish line, ghost-lap overlay to compare current vs best lap, custom gauge renderer, file joiner to merge multiple sessions, trace-map overlay (pure-canvas GPS trace, no map tiles), and elevation-profile overlay with gradient labels.
