Changelog

Windows: projects can be sent again.

Older cameras: the clock is not to blame.

Several tours, one video.

The approach was Marc's idea: no second render path, but a real GPX made of all the tours.

Travel route: grab and reorder your stops.

Both requested by Marc, shipped the same day.

One project, one file.

Small follow-up: no red message on module switch.

Geotagger: the write dialog closes again.

Plus a new pre-release check that catches exactly this kind of error before shipping.

Smooth camera — now only where you want it.

Requested by Marc, shipped the same day as the zoom fix.

Smooth camera — now the video matches the preview.

Fixed

• Animator in pace mode with FIT files reported a read error.

Both reports came with a video or a track — that is the fastest way.

The big spring clean — every module reviewed.

Fixed

• Elevation animator did not remember the data series and locked the cancel button for the next render.
• Web map / Tour map HTML: changing colour or width discarded your map view.
• Inspector: “Fill gap” now asks before replacing existing points.
• Render: map errors (e.g. invalid token) abort cleanly instead of producing black frames; GPS writing keeps foreign GPS tags such as speed.
• Quieter log: workout files without coordinates no longer appear one by one in the log, just as one line per scan.

Many of these findings came from our own review — if you notice something, send the log, it now carries more diagnostics.

The position dot — for real now, on slower machines too.

Real-time pacing, clearer lanes, full control.

The cloud now backs up your projects too.

Trim handles and keyframes no longer fight for clicks.

Anyone can set up the cloud now.

The cloud truly stays in the background.

The video now flies exactly like the preview.

Your archive, always current — the cloud is here.

Signs: real fonts, real bold.

Windows: the geotagger writes everything again.

Thanks to the Windows user for the detailed report with log and screenshots.

The trial run now shows what you set.

Applies to the preview and the finished video.

The camera moves evenly throughout.

Most visible on projects with a run-up or hold.

The camera's approach in the run-up works.

Since v0.9.517 keyframes could be placed in the run-up; only now do they take effect.

Keyframes in the run-up — for real this time.

If you work with a run-up, the camera can fly in from a distance again.

Two timeline bugs fixed.

Both reported by a user in Spain — thank you.

The attribution link lands on the page in your language.

The attribution link reaches the data animator — in your language.

Drag values straight on the keyframe.

Option + drag on the cluster icon 🎬 still duplicates the whole keyframe.

Keyframes stay where the landscape is.

Note: existing projects with trimming will show their camera move at a different spot than before — set those keyframes once more.

Butter-smooth: long videos no longer stutter.

The dot can be an arrow now — and you finally see it before rendering.

The arrow wish came from Spain — gracias.

The last corners speak your language too.

Two new checks keep it that way — one of them loads the entire interface in Spanish and hunts for German words.

Your videos now speak your language.

Reported by a user from Spain — with perfect screenshots. Gracias.

You now decide how the dot travels along the route.

The preview run shows the chosen spread straight away — preview and finished video come from the same calculation.

Existing projects open with “As recorded” and look exactly as before. New ones start with “Even”.

A date range and weeks in the Library — and keyframes can finally be copied.

Drag the large marker and the whole keyframe comes along — pitch, bearing, zoom and centre. Drag a single small marker and only that one property is copied.

The statistics text is also a little larger now.

Fixed

• A “broken image” on the longest tours — the preview was missing even though one existed.
• Older projects with duplicate keyframes are cleaned up once when opened — the value you set last is the one that stays.
• Two keyframes at the same spot could cancel each other out: the camera move picked one of the two values at random and looked like something you never built. Moving and copying now clear the way first.

The range and weeks came from a beta tester, the copying from a user — thank you both.

Several bikes? You can now group them — or keep them apart.

Both suggested by a user with three bikes — thank you.

Urgent update: every video export failed in the last four versions.

Fixed

• If an export does fail, it now says why. Before, the program only reported “Broken pipe” and withheld the reason it already had — which is exactly why the bug above went unnoticed for so long.
• The render no longer needs the internet for the map library. It ships with the app. Behind a firewall it previously could not get through.

Thanks to the user who sent in his log file — without it all three bugs would still be in there.

When is a file actually gone for good? Now it says so — and on Windows it is finally true.

Fixed

• Deleting several tours at once did not mention that it can be undone from the trash — exactly where the worry is greatest. One tour and a hundred now get the same dialog.

GPS Studio never permanently deletes anything by itself. A file is gone for good only once you empty your trash — until then you can restore it from there.

Your watch knows more about your tour than used to arrive.

Fixed

• The OK button in the About window did nothing. This affected every OK and Cancel button in the app — fixed.
• “Files could not be read” froze the app when there were many: the dialog built one row per file. With almost 99,000 files that took seconds and made the app look crashed. It now opens instantly, states the real total and clears whole groups with one button.
• The monthly comparison stopped after two years. All years are included now, and the header stays put while scrolling.
• Ascent and duration could only be sorted “most first” — now both ways.

About your privacy: FIT files also contain resting heart rate, age, gender, height and weight, as well as your device serial number. That describes you, not your tour — it is discarded on import and never reaches the database.

Already have a library? On first start, existing FIT tours are re-read once so the new values arrive there too.

The library gets fast — and finally answers what you were out on, and when.

And search answers whole questions. Next to year and activity sit two new fields, “from km” and “to km”. All hikes over 20 km in 2025 is now three clicks away. The list view also gained three columns: average speed, starting point and tags.

Also fixed: the library indexed anything called .json, .txt or .log — for one user 98692 unreadable files alongside 4835 real tours. Those extensions say nothing about content; now the content decides, and the leftovers disappear on the next scan. Plus: the selected tour stays selected when you switch to a tool and back, and the inspector now explains what “points” actually are.

Nearly all of this came from beta tester feedback.

A pass over the whole codebase — and photos now say when their position is a guess.

Those photos are now marked — an amber badge on the tile, a note with the real figures (“12 min gap, 2.0 km further on”) and a filter of their own so you can review them together. Nothing about the geotagging changes: they get the same position as before and are written as before. They are simply labelled honestly. The test is distance, not duration — so the pub stays certain, even after two hours.

And a pass over the entire codebase. What came out of it, and what you notice:

• Settings and projects could be lost silently. A single slider triggers several saves at once, and two of them could overwrite each other. At worst the file became unreadable and was discarded without a word on the next start — along with every project, keyframe, sign and photo pin. Reproduced: one of twelve concurrent changes survived.
• Opacity 0 % and light direction 0° never reached the video. The preview showed a transparent box while 55 % black was rendered.
• No more half a video at the destination. Closing the app mid-render left a truncated file there — and an older video at the same path had already been overwritten. Now the film is built alongside and only moved into place when finished.
• One dialog on top of another no longer loses anything. Change settings → “How do I get a token?” → close, and the whole settings dialog was gone, changes included.
• Render progress comes back. Glance at the library during a render and you returned to a frozen bar, never learning the video had finished.
• Tags with umlauts can be found (“Ötztal” used to find nothing), and “100 %” no longer returns the entire collection.
• The “remove outliers” button could destroy a track when the first point was far off — the classic cold start. Sixty-one points came out as two.
• A photo backup archive could lose originals when two cards held the same filenames — and that is the copy made before anything is written.
• The library no longer goes online unasked for place names and honours the switch in the settings.
• Keyboard use is visible — there was not a single focus ring anywhere in the interface before.

The app also lost 9 MB. Three internal checks that reported green without actually checking were repaired — among them the only automatic check of the render chain.

Files without GPS are not errors — and the list can finally be cleared.

The library now keeps the two apart: no route data (perfectly fine, simply no coordinates) and unreadable (interrupted transfer, unknown format, damaged). If it is only recordings without GPS, the header says “files without a route” instead of raising a warning. Existing libraries are sorted out once at the next start — nothing to rescan.

And they no longer slow the scan down. A file without coordinates still has none on the twentieth look — yet it was fully reopened on every run. Now it is skipped for as long as nothing about it changes.

Both points came from beta testers.

Place names work again — and the library can do a great deal more.

And if a lookup does fail, the reason is now stated in plain words — no connection, timeout, too many requests — instead of a “done, 0 addresses” that looks like success.

More in the tour library:

• Edit several tours at once — ⌘/Ctrl-click adds one, Shift-click a whole range. Collections, activity, tags, favourite, hide: for everything selected in one go.
• A colour per tour on the overview map — with 700 tours everything used to lie on top of each other in one colour. A track colour per tour can also be picked by hand.
• Save the overview map as a PNG — exactly the section and the colours you see right now. The button sits at the top left on the map.
• Choose the activity per tour yourself — and sort by it. The choice belongs to the route, so it survives renaming, moving and rescanning.
• Clear duplicates out right away instead of only finding them — the oldest file is preselected to keep, and they go to the trash, not into nothing.

The settings said “leave empty for the default token” next to the Mapbox token — but there hasn't been one for a long time. Anyone who followed that sentence ended up without satellite, without 3D and without the animator, and couldn't tell why. The note now says what stays locked without your own token.

Also fixed: a map crash when switching modules quickly, and contradictory numbers between the result list and the statistics during an area search.

New: the tour library — all your tours in one place.

What the library does:

• Search and filter — by name, year, length or tag; completed and planned tours kept apart.
• Find duplicates — files with an identical route are grouped, whatever they are called and wherever they sit.
• Collections — the six stages of a multi-day tour as one unit. “All in the animator” sends the whole collection on with a single click.
• Favourites, tags, notes and your own cover images — they belong to the tour itself and survive every rescan, even if you move or rename the file.
• Statistics — tours, kilometres, elevation gain and hours, broken down by month.

Map images are fetched on their own, a few at a time in the background, and kept. Remove a folder and add it back later and the previews are there immediately — without a single new map request.

Tours on a disconnected drive no longer vanish. If a file is currently unreachable it is marked as such instead of deleted. Plug the drive back in and everything is there, notes included.

The download page now shows everything you want to know before downloading: version, date, operating system, file size, signing status and checksum — with the command to verify it. It is generated from the actual files, so a link to something that does not exist is no longer possible.

Ten interim versions sit in between with many smaller fixes — among them a layout that was too wide in some modules, and tours that were hard to see on the overview map.

Sign lettering finally holds still.

Now it only applies for the split second the sign is actually popping in. The sign still pops, and the lettering is crisp again right afterwards — in the preview and in the rendered video.

Reported by a beta tester.

Multi-stage tours are finally calculated correctly.

Now: distance, time and elevation are calculated per stage and added up. No more straight lines across the map. Ordinary single tours show exactly the same numbers as before.

Found while embedding a tour map in a hiking article.

Follow-up: the pin now changes colour straight away.

📍 Pin reacts in real time: a changed pointer colour only showed up on the pin after you closed the sign editor — the speech bubble already updated live. The pin now recolours as you turn the colour picker.

👁️ Preview matches the video: with background “None” and pointer colour “Auto” the preview drew a bubble tip that never appears in the finished video. Both now show the same thing.

Thanks to beta testing for the report.

Sign pointers: their own colour, and placeable left, centre or right.

↔️ Pointer position left / centre / right: new “Pointer position” selector. Handy when the tip or the pin would otherwise sit right on the trace and cover the track: leave the sign where it is and slide the pointer aside.

Following a request from beta testing.

Quick fix: the sign letters are razor-sharp again.

🔤 Jittering sign text fixed: the new pop-in made the letters on signs jitter slightly while zooming in v0.9.479. They’re crisp again — the special pop-in technique is now only used when a sign actually uses “Pop in”.

Signs really pop in now, text alignment visibly works — and the stats boxes can join in.

↔️ Text alignment made visible: new “Width” control in the sign editor. With a fixed minimum width, left/center/right now visibly move the text — previously the box shrink-wrapped to the text so alignment seemed to do nothing.

📊 Stats boxes can do more: they now cast a directional shadow following the same global light source as the track and signs, and have their own Entrance (fade / pop) for the video.

One shared light source for every shadow — and the sign shadow finally works right.

🏷️ The sign shadow now works properly: previously it was almost impossible to make visible — even at full strength. It’s now decoupled from the blur (clearly visible even at blur 0) and can be dialed down to a hard edge.

🎚️ “Background opacity”: the opacity slider on a sign now only fades the background — the text stays fully readable.

Stronger sign shadows without shimmer — and a more natural way to move signs.

🏷️ Much stronger drop shadow on text-only signs: for signs without a background (text only) the shadow now sits firmly on the letters — and the text no longer shimmers when you zoom in the preview.

A friendlier first run — and a sign detail that now works without a background too.

🚪 The “token required” notice is no longer a dead end: if you land in the Animator without a token, the screen now explains what the token is for, what works without it — and takes you with one click straight to the Tour Map, which runs without a token.

🏷️ Drop shadow on text-only signs: a sign without a background (text only) now gets a clean drop shadow too — previously it had no effect without a background box.

A much more robust launch — and clear help if opening the app ever hiccups.

🕒 No more false alarm on first launch: Anyone who took a little longer over the map setting on the very first launch got a wrong "could not start" message. Fixed — the app now waits patiently until you've decided.

📄 Send the log even from the start-error screen: if launching does hiccup, the error screen can drop the complete log straight onto your desktop as a file — just drag it into your email to Marc.

An easier start, a tidier sidebar — and a one-click way to send us the log when something breaks.

📄 Send the log in one click: when something goes wrong, "Feedback / Report a problem…" can drop the complete log onto your desktop as a file (just drag it into the email) or put it on the clipboard — no more hunting through a hidden system folder.

🔗 Join tracks in the GPX Inspector: append a second recording to the end, the start, or automatically by time — handy when the watch stopped mid-ride or a multi-day tour comes as one file per day. Timestamps and sensor data stay honest per segment.

Plus a tidier sidebar (every section has an icon, overlays only show their controls when switched on, the order follows the workflow), decimal-comma input ("2,5" is finally read as 2.5) and many stability fixes in render and preview.

Colour the track by heart rate, power, gradient — by whatever the track offers.

Colour thresholds are set in the unit of the chosen series (“from 145 bpm”), and “Auto” lays a blue→red ramp across the whole range. Negative values work too — which matters for gradient (descents) and temperature (frost).

Chart axes: readable, and freely configurable.

On top of that the axes are fully configurable: X axis, left and right Y axis can be toggled individually, font size 8–60 px, and you decide how many values each axis labels. Switch an axis off and the curve gets its space. In the Animator, every chart card also has its own axis and font-size controls.

Starts without an internet connection — and speaks up when something goes wrong.

And if something does go wrong, you get a readable error screen instead of a white window — with the path to the log file and a button that opens the folder. The log also records your Mac model, chip and memory, which saves a round of questions when you report an issue.

Charts: the map really does show through now.

Charts: foreground and background opacity are separate.

A freshly added chart now also looks exactly like one from the Data Animator — the defaults match everywhere.

Charts in the video: elevation, heart rate, speed & more as an overlay.

The existing simple elevation profile stays exactly as it was — the new charts are additive, no existing project changes.

Data Animator: polish after the big rebuild.

The second data series' colour and width also got proper labels in the style of all other fields, and the empty-zones hint is now correct for background and line zones too.

Data Animator: tidier sidebar and fitting labels.

Plus some polish: the doubled “++” on the colour-threshold button is gone, values in the info bar carry the right unit (bpm/km/h instead of a fixed “m”), and labels like “Show value” or “colour by value” are no longer elevation-specific.

Data Animator: clearer labels and axes.

And with two curves it's now obvious what belongs where: the first picker reads “Data series · left axis”, and a note explains that colour, fill, colour zones, info bar and points all belong to the left axis — the right side is just the second line.

The multi-colour track no longer flickers.

Alongside that: hard colour changes by elevation/speed now sit exactly on the transition rather than slightly off, and the track no longer flashes its base colour at the start.

Two measurements at once: elevation on the left, heart rate on the right.

With no second series everything stays as before. The second curve is deliberately drawn as a line only — two filled areas on top of each other would be unreadable.

The Elevation Animator becomes the Data Animator — now with heart rate, power & more.

Two smaller things: the mountain icon, ascent/descent and gradient now only appear for the “Elevation” series — they'd be meaningless for heart rate or power. And wider labels such as “139 bpm” are no longer clipped at the left edge.

Animator: colour the track by elevation or speed too.

Animator: the track line can now change colour from certain points — ideal for laps and stages.

Web Map: multiple tracks on one map — ideal for several stages or the outbound and return legs.

Web Map: labels with text/color/size, selectable Leaflet source and a leaner GDPR preview image.

New "Web Map" module — a lightweight, interactive map for your blog with a freely labelable track.

Animator snapshot (current frame as an image) and "Open as Tour Map" (carry over the camera) — plus the fixes from 0.9.411.

Elevation Animator: toggle the moving dot and info box on/off separately.

Elevation Animator: background elevation bands optionally only within the chart area.

Elevation Animator: create elevation bands automatically — now also for background and line.

Elevation Animator: fill the area under the line freely — with color zones by elevation.

Elevation Animator: saved colors & settings are kept after a restart.

Elevation Animator: new smoothing slider against jagged profiles.

Elevation Animator like a real elevation profile: info bar, points along the route, free colors, configurable marker, seamless undo — and HTML export for your blog.

Stats fields freely nameable — "Moving time" instead of "Driving time", and everything renameable.

Travel route: clear message when a cycling/walking route is too long.

Tour maps now also entirely without a Mapbox token — with OpenStreetMap.

Tour Map polished all around: track above the labels, WYSIWYG zoom even in 4K, clean image-done screen.

Signpost arrows selectable, multiple waypoints in the travel route — and a whole wave of render and stability fixes.

Linux läuft wieder — Start und Rendern behoben, danke an die Tester auf GitHub.

Öffnet jetzt ohne Sicherheitswarnung — plus rundere Tour-Map und schonendere Geotagger-Speicherung.

Geotagger: Zwei Kameras gleichzeitig taggen — jede mit eigenem Zeit-Offset.

Geotagger-Großupdate: EXIF ansehen & bearbeiten, Urheber/Copyright einmal setzen, Fotos automatisch verschlagworten.

Geheilte Tracks frei speichern — mit Sensoren in der Datei.

FIT-Sensoren überleben den Inspektor, Stats-Felder umbenennbar.

Sonnenstand, Lichtstimmung und Aufnahmerichtung zu jedem Foto.

Den Solo-Geotagger gibt's jetzt auch als Download für Mac & Windows.

Geotagger jetzt auch solo – und im Browser, ganz ohne Mapbox.

Herzfrequenz, Trittfrequenz & Co. als Live-Overlay im Video.

Live-Steigung läuft ruhig statt zu springen.

Stats-Farben rund: Textfarbe wirkt überall, Farbwähler bleibt flüssig.

Max-Tempo ignoriert jetzt GPS-Ausreißer.

Echtes WYSIWYG: die Statistiken laufen jetzt schon in der Vorschau mit.

Max-Tempo & Fahrzeit jetzt exakt — und sinnvollere Standard-Statistiken.

Rückgängig (⌘Z) für wirklich alles — und genauere Tempo-Stats mit echter Pausenerkennung.

Du bestimmst, welche Werte deine Stats-Boxen zeigen — und wie sie aussehen. Plus: Track-Anfang und -Ende mit einem Klick abschneiden.

Track in jedes Format exportieren, ein neuer Modus für ruhige Kamerafahrten über bergigem 3D-Gelände — und ein „Was ist neu?" direkt im Update-Hinweis.

Kleiner, aber wichtiger Fix: Die „Nach Update suchen"-Funktion funktioniert jetzt zuverlässig.

Tour-Map ist jetzt dieselbe Oberfläche wie der Animator (nur als Standbild) mit eigenen Bild-Reglern, eine neue Kamera-Höhe-Haltung beendet das Hüpfen über Bergen, und der GPX-Inspektor erfindet beim Heilen keine Schleifen mehr.

Der GPX-Inspektor wird zum sichtbaren Werkzeug: Höhenprofil direkt mit der Karte verknüpft, Auto-Heilen für Ausreißer und Lücken, klickbare Punkte — plus Track-Export als CSV und ruhigeres Laden im Animator.

Ruhigere 4K-Videos, deine Lieblings-Einstellungen als Standard für neue Tracks, aufgeräumte Oberfläche — und du kannst die Entwicklung jetzt unterstützen.

Großes Update: viele Track-Formate öffnen (FIT, NMEA, KML & Co.), GPS-Zeit aus dem Track ins Foto, Update-Hinweis in der App, freier platzierbare Statistik-Einblendungen — plus wichtige Fixes.

Neue Kamera-Trägheit für ruhigere „Kamera folgt Track"-Fahrten, Anfang/Ende auch im einfachen Modus abschneidbar — plus zwei Render-Fixes.

Schild-Farben kräftig vereinfacht, jetzt Open Source — plus Fixes fürs lästige Windows-Konsolenfenster und die schwarze Kartenvorschau.

Tracks aufs Wegenetz schnappen, Zeitstempel beim Klick, flackerfreies Bearbeiten der Schilder — und der wichtige Fix, dass die Reiseroute-Adresssuche wieder funktioniert.

Großes Update: ein neues Werkzeug zum Reparieren kaputter GPS-Tracks, Video-Renders rund 10× schneller, ein eigenes „Anreise"-Modul mit echten Flugrouten und viele Detail-Verbesserungen.

Was du in der Vorschau siehst, kommt jetzt 1:1 im Video raus — Zoom und Linienstärke stimmen, und das fertige Video lässt sich wieder direkt in der App ansehen.

Workspace leeren ist aufgeräumter: ein einziges rotes ✕ neben dem GPX-Namen oben räumt alles auf einmal — in allen Modulen, inklusive der GPX-Datei.

Drag & Drop kennt jetzt die echten Dateipfade — auf allen Plattformen. Fotos einfach ins Geotagger-Fenster ziehen, taggen, fertig: die GPS-Koordinaten landen direkt in deinen Original-Fotos. Kein Export-Schritt mehr. Plus: TIFF-Dateien lassen sich jetzt korrekt taggen.

Großes Sammel-Release seit v0.9.40: Undo/Redo in allen drei Modulen, smoother Erdkugel→Track-Flug (Mapbox-flyTo-Style, jetzt wirklich aktiv), reload-stabile Zoom-Keyframes, Trim-Handles, Intro+Hold-Phasen, HEIC-Foto-Support out-of-the-box, ExifTool gleich mit gebündelt. Plus zwei Dutzend Detail-Fixes an Keyframe-Editor, Map-Interaktion, Render-Treue zur Preview.

Großes Polish-Update: Undo/Redo in allen drei Modulen, smoother Erdkugel→Track-Flug (Mapbox-flyTo-Style), Trim-Handles, Intro+Hold-Phasen, HEIC-Foto-Support out-of-the-box, ExifTool für RAW + Video gleich mit gebündelt. Dazu rund ein Dutzend Detail-Fixes an Keyframe-Editor, Map-Interaktion und Render.

Open-Source-Credits im „Über"-Modal — alle genutzten Bibliotheken (FFmpeg, Mapbox, pywebview, Pillow, gpxpy, Playwright, ExifTool) sind jetzt mit Lizenz und klickbarem Link sichtbar. Sonst keine Funktions-Änderungen — nur Compliance + Doku.

Großes Update gegenüber v0.6.9 (Mai 2026). Komplett neuer Workflow mit Kamera-Keyframe-Timeline, Sessions/Projekte, Tour-Map als drittes Modul, Auto-GPX-Detection im Geotagger, deutlich besseres Drag & Drop. Plus 30+ Detail-Bugfixes seit v0.6.9.

Polish auf v0.9.27: Slider-Snap komplett raus, Fenstergröße wird immer gemerkt, Tab-Wechsel hält den kompletten State (Karten-Pose, Foto-Liste, KF-Selection), neuer „Session schließen"-Menüpunkt, fehlende Übersetzungen nachgereicht.

Geotagger-Polish-Pack: Auto-Detect der GPX-Datei im Foto-Ordner, Unterordner-Option, sessionbasiertes Speichern des Geotagger-State, bessere Offset-Eingabe (4s/4m/4h statt nur Sekunden), Selektion in dichten Foto-Clustern sichtbar gemacht, optionaler „Fenster-Größe merken"-Modus.

Behoben: App fror beim Schließen mit dem roten X-Button ein. v0.9.25's Cleanup-Handler reichte nicht — Python 3.14 wartete beim Beenden auf hängende Threads, die nie jointen. Jetzt schließt sauber via Force-Exit.

Neue Checkbox in der Timeline: KF-Pins (die gelben Dots auf dem Track) lassen sich ausblenden — für echtes WYSIWYG zwischen Preview und gerendertem Film.

Im fertigen Animator-Film flackerten manchmal weiße Flächen und Farb-/Helligkeitssprünge zwischen Frames — Mapbox-Tiles waren noch im Lade-Vorgang. Jetzt wartet die Render-Engine sauber bis alle Tiles geladen sind, bevor der Frame geknipst wird.

Bergauf/Bergab in den Gesamtstats waren bei GPS-Tracks deutlich überzählt — typisches Rauschen wurde als echter Anstieg interpretiert. Jetzt deutlich näher an dem, was Strava und Komoot zeigen.

Während ein Render läuft, sperrt die App jetzt alle Bedienelemente außer Abbrechen. Damit kann man nicht aus Versehen ein anderes Modul aufmachen oder Settings ändern und den Render damit verwirren.

Neue „Ganzer Track"-Checkbox in der Timeline + Warnung wenn man den Keyframe-Editor mit gesetzten Keyframes ausschaltet + der mysteriöse Vollbild-Knopf an der Karte ist weg.

Die Karte in der Animator-Vorschau passt sich jetzt automatisch der Timeline-Höhe an: Keyframe-Editor aus → kleine Bar → größere Karte. Editor an → volle Multi-Lane → Karte rückt sich schmaler.

Bug-Fix: wenn der Keyframe-Editor aus ist, war fälschlicherweise trotzdem die volle Multi-Lane-Timeline sichtbar. Jetzt wieder ein schmaler Track wie aus dem Classic-Modus erwartet.

Doppelklick auf eine Timeline-Spur setzt jetzt einen Keyframe NUR für diese eine Property — keine Cluster-Anlage mehr wenn du nur Bearing oder nur Zoom animieren willst. Plus: greifbarer Playhead unten, Auflösungs-Badge fadet aus.

Höhenprofil + Auflösungs-Badge in der Animator-Vorschau saßen plötzlich zu tief und ragten ins Bild — die Letterbox-Berechnung zog die Timeline-Reservefläche nicht ab. Fix: jetzt sitzt das Bild wieder sauber über der Timeline.

Der letzte Dauer-Hilfetext im Keyframe-Editor („Kamera folgt dem GPS-Punkt …") ist jetzt auch hinter einem ?-Button. Sidebar wirkt damit komplett aufgeräumt.

Timeline-Feinschliff: Marker am Track-Ende werden nicht mehr halb abgeschnitten — und der Detail-Editor zeigt jetzt mit Lane-Farben + Glow welcher Slider zum gewählten Keyframe gehört.

Marc hatte die Per-Property-Auswahl getestet und gemerkt, dass nicht klar war welcher Slider zu welchem Lane-Marker passt. Mit den Lane-Farben im Editor + Glow auf dem aktiven Slider ist die visuelle Brücke zwischen Timeline-Marker und Sidebar-Slider jetzt direkt sichtbar. 🌈

Multi-Lane-Timeline mit eigenen Spuren für Pitch / Drehung / Zoom / Position — plus einem 🎬 Cluster-Marker ganz oben, der alle 4 zusammen verschiebt.

Marc hat den Cluster-Marker als „intuitivste Variante" angeregt — direkt nachdem er die Per-Property-Variante getestet hatte. So gibt's jetzt beide Welten parallel: fein per Lane, oder bulk per Cluster. 🙌

Camera-Keyframes können jetzt auch in die Hold-Phase reichen. Damit klappt z.B. „am Ende der Animation auf die ganze Route rauszoomen" — die Kamera fährt weiter, während der Track-Endpunkt schon steht.

Marc hatte den Hold ursprünglich als „Standbild am Ende" gedacht — Nutzer wollte aber die Kamera in der Hold-Phase weiterbewegen. Jetzt geht beides: Keine Keyframes in der Hold-Phase = klassisches Standbild, Keyframes drin = aktive Kamera-Fahrt. 🙏

Erste Version der Röhren-Track-Optik (Idee von Beta-Tester). Im v0.8.13-Update siehst du den finalen Stand — Röhre ist dort Eintrag im Linien-Stil-Dropdown.

Camera-Keyframes: Du kannst Pitch, Rotation und Zoom an beliebigen Punkten im Track frei setzen — die Kamera interpoliert dazwischen wie in einem echten Filmschnitt.

Idee von Beta-Tester („Kamera Neigung und Rotation mit Keyframes beeinflussen") + Marcs Erweiterung mit dem Snapshot-Workflow. 🙏 — Die Grundlage ist gelegt: Foto-Inserts und Text-Overlays landen demnächst auf der gleichen Timeline.

App merkt sich beim Schließen + Wieder-Öffnen jetzt zuverlässig die gewählte Auflösung.

Marc-Repro: „Ich stelle 4K 16:9 ein, schließe die App, öffne sie wieder und sie geht mit 4K 9:16 auf." Direkt gefixt. 🙏

Du kannst den Glow um die Track-Linie jetzt selber regeln — Stärke einstellen oder ganz abschalten.

Direkte Marc-Frage nach v0.6.7-Test. 🙏

Echte Punkte (statt Striche) und sauberere Track-Optik bei gestrichelten/gepunkteten Linien.

Direkter Fix nach Marcs v0.6.6-Test. 🙏

Start/End-Pins sind jetzt in der Vorschau sichtbar, und du kannst den Strichelungs-Abstand frei einstellen.

Direkt-Feedback von Marc nach dem v0.6.5-Test. 🙏

Track-Linien können jetzt gestrichelt, gepunktet oder strich-punkt sein.

Idee von Beta-Tester — danke! 🙏

Stats-Boxen + Karten-Position arbeiten endlich richtig bei Auflösungs-Wechsel.

Behoben

• Karten-Position bleibt erhalten beim Wechsel der Auflösung (z.B. von 4K auf 1080p oder 16:9 auf 9:16). Vorher wurde dein manueller Pan/Zoom dabei auf die Standard-Track-Sicht zurückgesetzt — jetzt bleibt der Ausschnitt da wo du ihn hast.
• Stats-Boxen skalieren mit der Auflösung: bei 4K wirkten die Statistik-Boxen vorher winzig im Frame, bei Shorts (9:16) überproportional groß. Jetzt wachsen sie automatisch mit der Render-Höhe — die Optik bleibt relativ zum Frame identisch, egal ob 1080p, 4K oder Shorts-Format.

Aufgeräumt — nur noch ein Windows-Download.

• Für Windows gibt es ab sofort nur noch den Installer (Setup-EXE). Die alte Portable-ZIP-Variante ist abgeschafft, weil sie unter Windows ein nerviges DLL-Lade-Problem hatte und User in Sackgassen geführt hat. Wer trotzdem portabel arbeiten will, kann nach der Installation einfach den Programme-Ordner kopieren.

Render-Ausschnitt stimmt jetzt exakt mit der Vorschau überein.

Behoben

• Wenn du in der Vorschau gezoomt oder geschwenkt hast, hat das fertige Video das nicht exakt übernommen — die Karte sah immer einen Tick weiter rausgezoomt aus. Lag an einer Mapbox-Eigenheit (der Zoom hängt von der Pixel-Breite ab). Jetzt rechnet die App den Zoom auf die Render-Auflösung um, damit der Ausschnitt im Video 1:1 dem entspricht, was du in der Vorschau siehst.

Danke an Beta-Tester für die saubere Fehlerbeschreibung! 🙏

Komplett aufgeräumte Sidebar — alle Einstellungen sauber gruppiert und ausklappbar.

Animation ohne Karte (Alpha-Kanal), Schlagschatten und Track-Punkte-Slider.

Tipp zum schneller rendern

• Render-Zeit hängt vor allem von Dauer × FPS × Auflösung ab. Wer schnell testen will: erst auf 1080p / 24fps probieren, dann auf 4K hochgehen.

Echter Windows-Installer — viel besserer Start unter Windows.

• Hinweis zur Mapbox-Token-Anleitung: Mapbox verlangt seit Mitte 2026 eine Kreditkarte beim Registrieren — auch fürs kostenlose Konto. Es wird nichts abgebucht, solange du im kostenlosen Kontingent bleibst (50.000 Karten-Aufrufe pro Monat — bei normaler Nutzung wirst du nie eine Rechnung sehen).
• App-Icon ist jetzt auch unter Windows zu sehen (vorher Default-Python-Icon in der Taskleiste).

Feedback geht jetzt auch ohne lokales Mail-Programm.

• Klick auf „Feedback / Bug-Report" öffnet ein Fenster mit Empfänger, Betreff und Body — alles per Klick kopierbar.
• Wer Webmail nutzt: einfach kopieren, ins Gmail/Outlook/etc. einfügen, fertig.
• Wer ein lokales Mail-Programm hat: weiterhin per Button öffnen — beides funktioniert.

Keine Vorinstallation mehr nötig.

• ffmpeg ist eingebaut: Render funktioniert sofort, ohne dass du selbst etwas installieren musst.
• Neue FPS-Option 25 (PAL) für TV-tauglichen Content in Europa.
• Bei einem Render-Fehler gibt's jetzt einen „📧 An Marc senden"-Button — Bug-Report mit App-Version, Betriebssystem und Log automatisch vorbefüllt.

Der ↺-Button löscht Daten, nicht deine Einstellungen.

• Der „↺ Workspace leeren"-Button räumt nur die geladenen Daten weg (GPX-Track, Fotos, Marker). Deine Einstellungen bleiben erhalten — Mapbox-Token, Karten-Stil, Auflösung, Codec, Position der Overlays etc.

Modul-Reset, neues About, Reisezoom-Menü.

• Jedes Modul (Animator, Tour-Map, Geotagger) hat einen eigenen „↺ Modul zurücksetzen"-Button.
• About-Modal mit größerem Logo und Credits-Zeile.
• Im macOS-Menü „Reisezoom" gibt's jetzt direkten Zugriff auf 🌐 Blog und ▶ YouTube-Kanal.

Du wählst, wohin das Video soll.

• Vor jedem Render fragt die App per nativem „Speichern unter"-Dialog wo das MP4 hin soll.
• Das zuletzt gewählte Verzeichnis wird gemerkt → der nächste Render landet automatisch wieder dort.

Neues Modul: Tour-Map · Builds für Windows und Linux.

• Tour-Map-Modul: statische Karten-PNGs für YouTube-Thumbnails, Blog-Cover, Insta-Posts. Format-Presets (16:9, 4K, 9:16 Shorts, 1:1 Insta) + freie Auflösung. Statistik-Boxen, Start/End-Pins, Karten-Stil-Auswahl wie im Animator.
• Die App läuft jetzt auf macOS, Windows und Linux.

Erste Version — Animator und Geotagger sind drin.

• Animator-Modul: GPX-Track als animiertes 3D-Karten-Video. Sechs Karten-Stile, einstellbare Kamera (Neigung, Rotation, Terrain), Statistik-Boxen.
• Geotagger-Modul: Fotos (JPEG und alle gängigen RAW-Formate inkl. HEIC) mit GPS-Koordinaten aus einem GPX-Track versehen. Automatische Zeitzonen-Erkennung, manueller Offset oder Referenz-Foto-Modus.
