Garmin FIT → Cinematic Video
Animate a Garmin FIT file as a 3D route video. cine.tours imports Garmin .FIT files natively — no conversion to GPX, no third-party tools. Drop the file in, pick a camera angle, render a cinematic MP4 up to 4K.

Native FIT support — no GPX conversion required Garmin .FIT is the binary activity format used by Edge cycling computers, Forerunner / Fenix watches, and most modern GPS sports devices. It packs lat/lon, altitude, speed, cadence, heart rate, and device events into a compact stream.
Most "GPX animation" tools force you to convert FIT → GPX first, losing precision and making the workflow tedious. cine.tours parses .fit files directly in your browser using a custom binary parser — no library dependencies, no server upload, no conversion step.
How to animate a FIT file 1) Pull the .fit off your Garmin (Edge USB transfer, Garmin Connect download, or Wahoo cloud export).
2) Drag the file into cine.tours. Coordinates, elevation, and timing load instantly.
3) Pick a cinematic camera preset or drop your own keyframes.
4) Submit a cloud render. Download the MP4 in 16:9 (YouTube), 9:16 (Reels / Shorts), or 1:1 (Instagram).
Garmin Edge, Forerunner, Fenix, Wahoo, Coros — all welcome Any device that produces a .FIT file works: Garmin Edge 540 / 840 / 1040, Forerunner 255 / 955 / 965, Fenix 7 / 8, Epix, Enduro; Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt / Roam / Rival; Coros Pace 3, Apex 2, Vertix 2.
Activity-type metadata (cycling, running, hiking, ski touring) is read from the FIT and used to pick sensible default actor icons — though you can override with any custom marker.
For race recaps, training logs, and trip stories Combine multiple FIT files into one project to animate a stage race, a multi-day bikepacking trip, or a ski-touring tour as a single story. Drop title cards between days. Add elevation and speed profile overlays. Export the timing-synced 4K video.
Frequently asked questions Do I need to convert my FIT file to GPX first? No. cine.tours imports .fit files directly using a custom binary parser. No conversion step. Does cine.tours read heart rate or power data from FIT? cine.tours focuses on positional data (lat / lon / elevation / time) for the map animation. Heart rate and power are present in the FIT but not yet rendered as overlays — that is on the roadmap. Can I animate a Wahoo FIT file? Yes. Wahoo ELEMNT-series devices write standards-compliant FIT files that cine.tours reads natively. Where do I find the FIT file from my Garmin? Plug the device in via USB and copy the file from /Garmin/Activities, or download the activity from Garmin Connect (Activity → ⋮ → Export Original).
