In their own words
Garmin VIRB Edit
Garmin VIRB Edit is free desktop software for viewing and editing footage recorded with a VIRB action camera. Its tools include trimming and stitching clips, slow motion, music, titles and transitions. An assisted editor can select moments from chosen clips and photos to make a compilation with music and G-Metrix overlays. These overlays add gauges and graphs for data such as speed, elevation, heart rate and g-force. The software can display video beside a map with track information, and Garmin’s VIRB X/XE manual lists multi-camera support. For VIRB 360 footage, VIRB Edit supports viewing and editing, stitching, 4K spherical stabilization and augmented-reality G-Metrix overlays. HyperFrame Director Mode uses a moving virtual camera to reframe 360 footage with pans and wider angles. Export resolution is listed up to 6K. Sharing options include YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and Garmin Connect Share. Garmin Support lists version 5.4.3 for Windows and Mac; the software collection dates the Mac listing to September 11, 2018, and Windows to December 26, 2018.
