How long does it take to create a GPS route animation?

With cine.tours, you can turn a GPS track into a cinematic route video in minutes. Traditional workflows using editing software like After Effects or Blender can take hours — or even days — of manual work.

Do I need video editing experience to use cine.tours?

No. cine.tours is designed for athletes and creators, not VFX artists. The camera animation is automatic, and everything runs in your browser — no software to install.

What file formats and devices does cine.tours support?

cine.tours accepts GPX, FIT (Garmin binary), KML, TCX, CSV, IGC (glider flight logs), and NMEA sentence logs. That covers virtually every GPS device and app: Garmin watches and cycling computers, Wahoo, Strava, Komoot, Google Earth, paraglider and hang-glider flight recorders, and custom GPS loggers. All parsing happens locally in your browser — no file is uploaded for import.

What resolution and aspect ratios can I export?

cine.tours supports 720p, 1080p, and 4K exports in 16:9 (landscape — YouTube and standard video), 9:16 (portrait — reels and shorts), and 1:1 (square — feed posts). Rendering happens on GPU-accelerated cloud workers, so even 4K finishes fast.

Can I overlay the animation on top of my own footage?

Yes. Upload a HUD or compass image with a green-screen background in the Mask panel — cine.tours composites it on top of the route and auto-detects the keying color from the edges of your image. Drop the rendered video into your editor (DaVinci, Premiere, Final Cut, etc.) and chroma-key the green out to overlay the animation on top of any other footage.

How much does cine.tours cost?

Every new account starts with 20 free render tokens — no credit card required. Additional credits are one-time purchases (no subscription, no expiry): Starter 10 credits €7.99, Creator 30 credits €18.99, Pro 80 credits €39.99, Studio 200 credits €79.99. Failed renders are automatically refunded.

Is my GPS data private?

All file parsing happens locally in your browser inside a Web Worker. Files are not uploaded for import. Your project is only sent to the server when you choose to render — and the rendered video is stored privately to your account.

How do I export a GPX from Komoot?

Open the tour on the Komoot website, click "..." → Export tour, choose GPX. Premium is not required for GPX export of your own completed tours.

Can I animate planned Komoot tours I haven't ridden yet?

Yes. Komoot lets you export planned tours as GPX too — useful for previewing a bikepacking route before you commit.

Does cine.tours show Komoot waypoint names?

Route geometry imports cleanly. Waypoint names are not auto-extracted as visible labels (yet) but you can drop labelled custom icons at any point on the route inside the editor.

How to animate a Komoot tour

1) On Komoot, open the tour → "..." → Export tour as GPX.

2) Drag the .gpx file into cine.tours.

3) Mark key waypoints (highlight summits, photo spots, refuges) with custom icons.

4) Render. Pick 4K landscape for YouTube or 9:16 portrait for Reels and Shorts.

Built for bikepackers and hikers

cine.tours treats every Komoot tour as a story arc. Drop title cards between days. Layer in stat overlays (distance, elevation gain, max altitude). Switch the map style from terrain to satellite when the landscape changes. The end result is a video that matches the journey, not just a glowing line.

Multi-day tours and waypoints

Komoot tours often include named waypoints — viewpoints, food stops, water fills. cine.tours imports the route geometry and lets you re-mark those points with custom icons that animate in at the right moment.

For multi-day bikepacking trips, export each day as a separate GPX from Komoot, then sequence them in cine.tours with title cards between days.
