With a shareable 3D flyover video, you can tell the full story of your adventure with movement, media, and data in one place. Turn any outdoor activity into a 3D flyover video by following the steps below.
1. Sync Media
Open your COROS app to the second page (Activities tab), and select the activity you want to share.
On the right side of the screen, select the Sync Media button, indicated by the photo icon.
Note: This step must be completed first, otherwise your media will not be available to choose during the 3D video flyover customization.
2. Select photos and videos to pin to your route
From the Sync Media page, select any photos and videos you'd like to add to your route. The media shown on this page are ones recorded with a timestamp within the start and end points of your COROS activity. Note: Videos longer than 60 seconds are not supported.
When you're ready, click the Sync to Activity button at the bottom of the page. The media you've selected will be pinned to the exact timestamp on your route, where you can view them on the activity summary page. Photos and videos selected here are for personal view only. You will be able to narrow down just the media you'd like to share when customizing your flyover video.
3. Open activity sharing
From the activity summary page, click the share icon on the right side of the screen. From the activity sharing options, select 3D Flyover Video.
4. Customize your 3D flyover video
You can customize the media, music, and map style for your 3D flyover video.
-
Media: Click the "Add" button at the bottom of the page to select the images and videos you want to include in the flyover. These media can be chosen from the ones already synced in step #2.
- If there are other photos and videos you want to add, please go back to the Sync Media page to include them from your phone's camera roll before you can add them to the flyover video.
- You can add up to 15 photos and videos in total.
- When adding videos, only 5 seconds of each video will be displayed during the flyover. You will be prompted to choose a 5-second clip for each video that you want to include.
- Music: Choose from any of the preset options.
- Map Style: Choose from Satellite, Default, Dark, and more.
5. Share your creation
When you're ready, click the Share button in the top right corner. You may be prompted to grant the COROS app access to record your screen. This is necessary to take a screen recording of your flyover video, where you can watch your entire creation from start to finish. As you move through the route, any images and videos pinned along the way will be displayed briefly as a pop-up.
After the video finishes playing, you can save the new video to your phone, share with friends and family, and upload to social media.

FAQs
Why don't I see any photos or videos available when I try to add them to my 3D flyover?
To add photos and videos, please make sure they have already been pinned to your activity summary by going to the Sync Media button. Only media that have been synced from your phone's photo library will be available to choose during the 3D flyover video customization process.
Can I change the speed of my 3D flyover video?
Currently, there is only one speed setting for the flyover video. We may introduce other speed options in future updates.
Can I include photos/videos that were taken before or after my activity?
Yes. By default, the Sync Media button will only display media captured while you were recording your activity. In order for other photos and videos to be displayed, their timestamps will need to be adjusted to be within your activity's start and end time.
On iOS, you can manually adjust these timestamps without third-party tools:
- Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
- Tap on the photo you want to edit to open it in full screen.
- Access the edit options by doing one of the following:
- Tap the More icon (three dots) in the top right corner.
- Swipe up on the photo to open the info panel.
- Tap "Adjust Date & Time" .
- Adjust the date, time, and time zone as desired. Head back to the COROS app and open the Sync Media page again to see the new photos that are available.
Can I save a draft of my video and come back to it later?
Yes! After opening the 3D Flyover Video option from the activity sharing page, simply press the back button to return to the previous page and you will be prompted to save the current progress as a draft. The next time you open the 3D Flyover Video option, you can resume editing your draft.
Why does the COROS app need permission to generate the video?
The 3D Flyover Video is captured via screen recording your phone display. The recording begins and ends at the exact time the video is playing, providing you with a video file that can be downloaded or shared directly with friends or on social media.
