DashWare has stopped evolving. Your videos have not.
DashWare was long the free answer for putting gauges on a video. It is no longer developed, exists only on Windows, and knows nothing of the cameras and drones released since. YouMetry takes over, on Mac as well as Windows.
Where DashWare stands
- Free, but no longer developed: no fixes, no new formats.
- Windows only: nothing for the Mac.
- No DJI SRT, no Insta360; 2D map; no transparent layer for editing.
- Points checked when we wrote our comparison.
What YouMetry adds
- The route replayed in 3D over real terrain and aerial imagery, where other software stops at a 2D map.
- Direct reading of today’s sources: DJI SRT and embedded telemetry, GoPro, Insta360, RaceChrono, OBD-II, GPX.
- Export as a transparent layer (ProRes 4444 or PNG) for Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere, on top of the finished video.
- A mobile app that records the session, lap times and OBD, plus YouTube live streaming with the gauges.
- Five languages, no account, nothing uploaded to a server. One-time purchase.
