The lean you actually took, on the picture.
Mountain pass, track or Sunday ride: YouMetry lays lean angle, speed, G-force and lap times over your motorcycle video, read from your camera or your phone — and replays the ride in 3D over real terrain, bike included. The film of your session, with what you actually did.
What it is for, on a bike
- Lean angle, measured rather than guessed: with an Insta360 or the phone running the mobile app, the lean comes from the gyroscope, calibrated on the trajectory. With a GoPro alone, it is derived from GPS and the app says so.
- Cornering speed and G-force, read from your GoPro or from a plain GPS track — and a speedometer that matches the dashboard thanks to the speedo correction.
- Lap timing on track: laps detected on their own, best lap, gap to best, and the corner table to see where the time goes.
- The ride in 3D over real terrain and aerial imagery, with a bike that leans the way you did: a mountain pass seen from above.
- A clean export up to 4K, or a transparent ProRes 4444 / PNG layer for your edit.
What YouMetry reads, on a bike
- The GPS track of a GoPro (GPS5 and GPS9), already inside the MP4.
- The gyroscope and the remote’s GPS of an Insta360, inside the .insv file.
- The YouMetry mobile app on a phone strapped to the tank: GPS, lean from the sensors, a three-button lap timer, screen off.
- RaceChrono and Lap Legend exports, a GPX track from a watch — and, on the few bikes with a compatible port, OBD-II.
The bike gauges
Lean angle with left and right maximums, speedometer, G-meter, lap timer, track map, altitude, compass, and the corner table. Every gauge is placed with the mouse; a ready layout awaits the Motorcycle world, and your own dials are drawn in YouMetry Skins.
How to do it
- Film with the GoPro (GPS on) or the Insta360; for a measured lean without an Insta360, start the mobile app on a phone mounted on the bike.
- Open the video in YouMetry, pick the Motorcycle world; data files of the same name load with it.
- Sync the data with the picture if needed — a standing start is a good landmark — then place the gauges.
- Export the video, or a transparent layer for Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve or Premiere.
Worth knowing
- No Insta360 has built-in GPS: without the GPS remote or a paired phone, the file gives the lean, not the speed — add a GPX track then.
- Lean derived from GPS alone is a smoothed estimate: on a GoPro, the speedometer is right, the lean is indicative.
- Nothing goes to a server. The free version is complete; only export is limited to 5 clips of 30 seconds at 720p, for 10 days.
Questions
How do I show lean angle on a motorcycle video?
With an Insta360 or the mobile app’s phone, the lean is measured by the gyroscope; with a GoPro alone, it is derived from GPS. Open the video in YouMetry, Motorcycle world: the lean gauge lands on the picture with left and right maximums.
Do I need a sensor on the bike?
No. The camera or the phone is enough: nothing to plug in, nothing to install on the bike.
And on track, for lap times?
Laps are detected from the GPS track, or taken from RaceChrono and Lap Legend if you use them. For hundredths, an external 10 Hz+ GPS receiver does better than a phone.
