Scuba diving

Your dive computer, on your dive video

Data Overlay turns your dive log into a depth gauge and a dive profile that follow your footage, with dive time, no-decompression limit, tank pressure, gas mix, SAC rate and water temperature.

Free trial, then from $19.99 a month, $79.99 a year or $129.99 once. See pricing

This is the real app running in your browser on a sample dive. Turn gauges on and off, drag them around, change units and colours, and scrub through it. Opening your own files and exporting happen in the desktop app.

Sample data only. Works best on a computer. Open the demo full screen

Tip

No NDL in your log? Data Overlay works it out with Bühlmann ZHL-16C and the gradient factors you set.

Combine files

Use more than one file at once, for example the log from your dive computer and heart rate from your watch. Each gauge uses the best file that has its data, and each file gets its own clock offset.

Built for the edit

Made to drop straight into your timeline

  • ProRes 4444 · PNG MOV · PNG sequence

    Transparent, frame-exact exports

    ProRes 4444 with alpha on a Mac, or lossless PNG on either platform. Export at your sequence’s frame rate and the overlay has exactly as many frames as your clip.

  • ±0.1 s

    Sync to the frame

    Nudge each file’s clock in tenths of a second until the gauges match the picture. Files recorded on a local clock are lined up with UTC files for you.

  • Best source for each gauge

    Combine files

    Take GPS from one device and heart rate or power from another. Each gauge uses the best file that has its data, with a clock offset for each file.

  • Row · Stacked · Panel · Custom

    Arrange it your way

    Drag gauges anywhere with snapping guides, size each one, pick colours and units, and undo any change. The export frame fits your arrangement.

  • Every CPU core

    Fast, even for long days

    Exports use every core, so an hour of footage renders in minutes. On Macs with a ProRes engine, encoding runs in hardware.

  • Local processing

    Your files stay on your computer

    Logs and videos are read and rendered on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded.

Try it on your own dive
