MRA Video is now available!

If I'm right, then MRA Video produces only a kind of dynamic 3D views of the track log on a map ( like Google Earth) combined with a kind of slide show of existing Fotos (moments) You Made in track log.
I agree that it seems to only produce a 3D view like in Google Earth. I was expecting something like a moving pointer that built the route taken, such as happens in Relive, which is dynamic and interesting to see, especially as the terrain changes and you get an impression of what the ride must have been like. Relive is also free! It is difficult to even see in MRA Video what was the direction of travel as it is simply a line on a 3D map where you can add some photos. Sadly, I have to say, it is not as good as I had hoped for.

It seems I would share your comment. Have you got a link for me for "Relive" to which you refer?
Thanks in advance. BR Paul -

@Drabslab I also thought Lifetime membership included all future updates...
@Guy-Perrin @Greenham MRA Video isn't part of the route-planning aspect and therefore not part of Gold or Gold Lifetime. However, I've seen this comment on several places and we're thinking about methods by which to reward paying members or make it easier for them to try out MRA Video.
@Gary-France Thank you for your comment. Of course I'm sad that MRA Video doesn't live up to your expectations, but that doesn't mean it's meant as a competitor to Relive. Relive is primarily aimed at cyclists and support only tracklogs. MRA Video seems alike, but does a lot of things rather differently. First of all: motorists and motorcyclists tend to make longer trips, making a video where the pointer moves along the route very erratic. We've intentionally chosen a birds-eye view as this allows for a complete overview of the route with marked highlights. The highlights for tracklogs are globally the same, although MRA Video allows for the usage of routes as well as tracks. This is very different: if you have for example a route with waypoints including information or a color, this will be highlighted on the map. The purpose is also different: Relive seems to be aimed primarily at individual cyclists, MRA Video is aimed at group-minded motorists and motorcyclists.
To stay within the frame of thought as MRA video as a Relive-competitor: they've had a first mover advantage and years in advance. They do things different, and have a different target audience. Additionally, Relive's services stop where they start, they do video's (and they do it very nicely!) and that's it. Regardless, we've heard your comments and have seen it throughout the community. Perhaps the community wants MRA Video to evolve more in the direction of what Relive does. If that's the case, as we've done for the past 8 years, we'll follow.

@Drabslab that thing with the unresponsive links is now fixed! Good spotting. As far the TyreToTravel-link, that's intentional. I've posted a notification about it to the dev-team and management.

"after end of trial period, your account will be automatically set back to basic account".
I'm Gold Member and don't want to fall back to Basic Member.
I think you could use a team of very annoying beta users to spot last minute bugs and go through announcements before these are released.

May be I'm to dumb - I bought MRA Video today but have no idea where to find and how to see it.
Any Suggestions? -

You make some very valid point such as Relive works only for tracks and MRA video gives a complete overview of the route. However, being flexible is key and as a motorcyclist, I have used Relive even though it was developed for cyclists and it actually works really well for motorcycle riders. It haven't found it to be erratic at all, but instead the Relive moving pointer is mesmerising as it makes you think about the way the route was ridden, especially on steep gradients with lots of hairpin bends. The best thing about Relive is that moving pointer and I don't agree with your comment about motorcycle riders making longer trips as this really doesn't make any difference to how Relive works. I will try to find a way to upload to here a Relive video for a long motorcycle ride and you will see what I mean.
Also, I can already produce something similar (without the photos) as MRA Video by exporting my planned route as a kml file and import it into Google Earth to get the route overview on a terrain map in a way that is very similar to MRA Video. Okay, it doesn't automatically move, but if I am examining the route to see what it will be like, that doesn't really matter.
If only MRA video could have somehow combined the best features of Relive with route planning. Yes, I agree Relive only have one product and have been around for some time, but MRA have the opportunity to do something better than Relive. It would be great if you took that opportunity and created something really exciting that really entertained users in a way that was better than Relive. But, that is for the future, as I suggest there are more important things to tackle first than MRA video.

Because i am very dissapointed that MRA-Navigation has no updates and bug fixing for over 1 year, i am very careful not to buy a cat in the sack. -

And just to throw another option into the mix regarding ReLive, the full Ordinance Survey Web App (Paid Subscriction Required) (Not available in the mobile Apps) has a “Fly Through” option that tracks any route of any length. Not just Green Lanes however, as you can import any GPX file into the Web App and it will give distance and elevation data for the whole route as it tracks the journey.
Doesn’t automatically generate a video though but using “Request Desktop” I can record it on my iPad Pro.
Example by OS MapsObviously this is UK Only and unfortunately terms of conditions dictate that you are not allowed to Screen Capture the Fly Through.
I would happily pay a subscription for similar functionality in MRA.

it says there are no videos but there are. ( probably a permission thing. ) to share you need the download link.. which plays it( you need another click to download!)

Hi Timo,
I just have a MRA (planner) lifetime subscription, So cannot determine what MRA Video exactly does and is capable to do. If there would be a free of charge (temp) subscription possibility, that might be helpful, even from commercial perspective.
KR,
Bert. -
@Maurice-Smith
Thank you for that beautiful video of your tour and the offered ideas. We're gathering a lot of feedback right now, which is pretty much both 1) better explanation of what MRA Video is, does and how it works and 2) gathering a community wishlist.@Dragbert we're working on that. Once available, we'll let everyone know through the forum.

So I was looking to find a trial period for MRA Video.
Came across a "Purchase Directly" button somewhere. I have no idea how I got there!
Clicked it expecting it to open a page with more options, nothing happened so I clicked it again.
Turns out that button is a one click purchase!
Probably needs an "Are you sure" type pop-up.
Can an MRA Admin please confirm that I have not been charged twice.
Happy to go with one sub for MRA Video (for now) however, I do have to agree with the comment "Paying to Beta Test" mentioned earlier.Things that need to be sorted.
- Video will not download on iPad Pro.(Web page in Chrome) iPads have have had local storage for some time now, please make that available via the share. I do all my video editing on my iPad Pro in Luma Fusion
- Ability to change KM/H and KM to MPH and Miles.
- All MRA video text should default to the the users nationality i.e.. Route Gegevens (Route Data)
- Can we please have the ability to add "Moments" (Photos) in MRA directly linked to a waypoint. I have MRA Navigation but I use a Tom Tom Rider 550 and my phone is always linked to my Tiger 900 Rally Pro to control my Go Pro from the handlebars.
Wish List.
- Ability to import own Audio at Render stage. Obviously I can strip it out in Luma Fusion.
- This one is a deal breaker for me so I'm adding it here too.
Can we please have the ability to add "Moments" (Photos) in MRA directly linked to a waypoint. I have MRA Navigation but I use a Tom Tom Rider 550 and my phone is linked to my Tiger 900 Rally Pro to control my Go Pro from the handlebars. The phone always sits in its own powered cradle under the pillion seat. (Brilliant idea Triumph
) - Can you not take the Highest/Lowest Elevation from the recently added elevation data directly in MRA?
That's it, for now.
Thanks.
Steve.

Hi Steve,
I've verified with the team and it shouldn't be a "Purchase Directly" button with a one-click purchase, if it is, that's on us. You can always reach out to the team for a refund since MyRouteApp would never endorse catch-click sales.
Aside from this, I've noted your comments for the backlog.
As for your wish list, just some clarification:
- You mean to upload MP3's, so that you could use them on your track? Sounds great, we'd have to check with legal to make sure that uploading licenced audio for use under your video's falls under Fair Usage licencing (to avoid us getting hit with Cease-and-Desist letters from the media bigwigs)
- If you open your track in "my tracklogs"you can already upload moments, isn't this what you mean? As for how MRA Video handles these moments, we've noted some points for improvement.
- We hear this one a lot, we'll definitely check it out.
Kind regards,
Timo
