Garmin VIRB Edit
What it is
Garmin VIRB Edit is free desktop software for viewing and editing footage from a VIRB action camera on Windows or Mac. Editing tools include trimming and stitching clips, slow motion, music, titles, and transitions. An assisted editor can select moments from chosen clips and photos, then create a compilation with music and G-Metrix overlays. G-Metrix adds gauges and graphs for speed, elevation, heart rate, and g-force. The software can display video beside a map with track information. For VIRB 360 footage, it supports viewing, editing, 360 stitching, 4K spherical stabilization, and augmented-reality G-Metrix overlays. HyperFrame Director Mode reframes 360 footage with a moving virtual camera. Export resolution is listed up to 6K. Sharing supports YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, and Garmin Connect Share. Garmin lists version 5.4.3 for both platforms, with 2018 listing dates.
