What Garmin VIRB Edit is
Garmin VIRB Edit is desktop software for viewing and editing footage from a VIRB action camera. It runs on Windows and macOS and is free. Editing tools include trimming and stitching clips, slow motion, music, titles and transitions. An assisted editor can select moments from chosen clips and photos to assemble a compilation with music and G-Metrix overlays. Those overlays display gauges and graphs for data such as speed, elevation, heart rate and g-force. You can place video beside a map showing track information, and Garmin’s VIRB X/XE manual lists multi-camera support among the tools. For VIRB 360 footage, the software supports viewing, editing and stitching, 4K spherical stabilization and augmented-reality G-Metrix overlays. HyperFrame Director Mode reframes 360 footage with a moving virtual camera for pans and wider angles. Maximum export resolution is listed as 6K. Sharing options include YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and Garmin Connect Share. Version 5.4.3 is listed for both platforms, with Mac and Windows releases dated September and December 2018, respectively.
