My free trial of TP Premium finishes tomorrow. I just connected TP to my Elemnt Bolt and did a Sync which I assume copies all the files from the GPS to TP? There is one particular ride that I want to examine the power data for. That is a ride that I did in Scotland on my cousin's bike, which had power cranks fitted. It was that ride with a stiff climb halfway that got me interested in measuring power and perhaps making a more serious effort to get fit. I'll see if I can work out how to look at the power data later. I think that the climb was a bit too short to use to calculate my FTP. I remember that I was doing about 225-275 W for the whole climb but I guess that it only lasted about 15 minutes.

tpv worked very well for me tonight in race with well over 100 in it , no issues , well apart from getting freight trained by steen steaming passed me near the finish line ,I knew I was in trouble when the little kicker near the end where I thought I would get a lead , he was looming on my shoulder , but it was good to know someone - also Andy Macca was in the race , an old bkool user who flits around the apps , alway nice to see

Bit of a panic as my HRM-Dual didn't pair at all, so had to go inside to get my trusty old ANT+ only Garmin hardstrap from 2008 - 4 minutes before the start.
Watch the crucial seconds of our finish here:

Are these TPV (or Zwift) videos being recorded by TPV (or Zwift) itself, or by something else?

Individuals film themselves I believe - sometimes the race organisers film it and even commentate on race , sometimes the team film it
Great if you do well , not so hot when bloody Great Danes leave you in dust

A lot of people use OBS (Open Broadcasing Software). I use it for my Zwift/TPv live streams on my Macbook.
You can't do it on Apple TV - not surprisingly. On the iPad I used to screen record then upload, but that was tedious.

Ah, I installed that on my Windows laptop years ago. I played with it a couple of times but have never used it since.
