That’s right, today Strava is officially announcing the rollout of their new video feature which will be available to all athletes. But if you happened to catch the live stream of the announcement, you may have also caught the mention of something that many users have been waiting for – video. Launch your video editing tool, have fun, upload to your favorite video sharing service.Last week, Strava rolled out some big improvements to their platform, particularly for the off-road obsessed. Apple products are completely opaque to me if you’re familiar with those products I’d love a description in the comments. On Android phones, the video file has been saved to the Download area of your phone. From Windows Media Player, you can do this by pressing “Ctrl-M” to get the full menu. If your browser launches a separate video app to play the video, you still may need to “Save As” from within the app. If the MP4 isn’t automatically downloaded and begins playing within the browser, you can right-click in your browser window again, select “Save As” and save the MP4. You’ll either see the video appear (as in my screenshow below), or the download might begin for you automatically. Now paste that link into your web browser. The link should look something like this: Search within the source page for the text “mp4.” On Windows and Unix / Linux systems, you can do this with “CTRL-F” and enter “MP4” in the text box. You can click on these example screen captures for larger views. Look for “view page source” or “view source.” Drop downs with “view source” options are also available on mobile platform browsers.Ĭlick that “view source” from the list, and you’ll see a page of code. On a PC, you can right-click the web page (and outside of the video area). The ride video page looks something like this. After a while, you’ll receive an email with a link to your ride video.

I’ll update this post when I receive a response. I should point out the Copyright on the generated video is owned by Relive I’ve asked if I (and you) have permission to modify their video like this. Here’s how you can download the source video so you can add audio and otherwise edit the video. How can I download the source video so I can create these edits?įor these instructions, I’ll assume you’ve gone through the preliminaries of creating a Strava account and connecting it to.

It’s a fun toy to review the terrain of your ride, but sometimes I want to add audio to share the video with friends. connects to your Strava profile to create ride videos after each Strava upload.
