Flyover videos

Our Flyover videos are rendered with the latest 3D mapping technology and uploaded to YouTube. Photos that you have published with the Route or Track will be integrated into the Flyover video. The Flyover video is then automatically added to the media gallery of the Route or Track.

The ability to create Flyover videos for your own published tracks and routes is only available to Pro and Pro+ users.

Flyover videos created by Pro users are published on Youtube and no individual settings can be made.

Pro+ users are offered several options. It is possible to download the Flyover video, select the music, and compress the length of the Flyover video to one minute. The user can disable uploading the Flyover video to Youtube. In this case, however, the video cannot be played on the Outdooractive platform and will be displayed as a static image.

Flyover videos can be created from a desktop or laptop computer via the website or from a smart device using our app. You can create Flyover videos of Routes or Tracks that have been published.

1. Select the Route or Track you want to create a Flyover video from. After you have successfully created a Route, you will be given the option to create a video directly. 
2. Select the "Create video" button in the app in the main menu / on the website: the three dots at the top right will take you to the → "Create Flyover video" button.
3. As a Pro+ member, you can then select background music, limit the length of the video to 1 minute and prevent it from being uploaded to YouTube if you wish. Please note that only Flyover videos that have been uploaded to YouTube can be played online. Alternatively, you can download your Flyover video to your PC. 
4. Select 'Create' after choosing your desired settings. The Flyover video will now be created for you. Depending on the current demand, processing may take some time.
5. You will receive an e-mail when your Flyover video is ready. You will find the link to the video in your media gallery and, depending on your settings, the YouTube link to your video and/or the download link, which is valid for 7 days from receipt of the email.

Please note: Depending on the length of the tour, only a certain number of photos may be included in the video. Photos that follow each other in quick succession may not all be displayed in the video.

If the author of a route has created a Flyover video, it can be found on the detail page. 

If you delete the Route or Track or decide to unpublish it, the Flyover video will be delisted from YouTube. In this case, you and other users can only find the Flyover video directly via the link. Please note that only Flyover videos uploaded to YouTube can be played online on our platform. Alternatively, you can download the video to a PC.

Unlike Flyover previews which are generated in real-time and cannot be saved or shared, Fylover videos are saved in the Track or Route's media gallery and on YouTube. You can also share Flyover videos with your friends and family. Users who view your Route or Track on the platform can also view your Flyover video, and you can make use of viewing Flyover videos from other users Routes.
