Garmin Virb Edit Ultimate Guide
I hate how little or scattered documentation there is on Virb Edit, it is a powerful tool and I would argue the best action camera editor out there right now. Seeing as how it's receiving regular updates I think it's here to stay.

FAQ
- Where are the preview files located?
By default - C:Users<Username>AppDataLocalGarminVirbEditPreview
- What are preview files?
No idea. Anyone know?
- Can I delete preview files? They take up a lot of space!
I tested deleting preview files, and noticed no change in Virb Edit, you can still edit your clips. As far as I can tell preview files just bloat your C:/ drive.
- Where is the 'GARMIN' logo located?Default installation directory: C:Program Files (x86)GarminVIRB EditWidgetsimageslogos
- Where is the default gauges artwork located?Default: C:Users<username>AppDataRoamingGarminVIRB EditTelemetry Downloaded: C:Users<username>AppDataRoamingGarminVIRB EditDownloadedOverlays
- How to export/share or move gauge templates between users/computers?Gauge templates can be found here, just copy/share what you need: C:Users<username>AppDataRoamingGarminVIRB EditTelemetryTemplates
- G-Metrix data is not available for a clip, what do I do?
Think of G-metrix as the third track: Video, Audio, and G-metrix. G-Metrix data has to be imported with the clip or added manually later. If you copy & paste the clip into the editor that will give you the audio & video but not g-metrix. For g-metrix you have to Import clips into Virb Edit. Or once you have the clip you can import it manually by finding the correct g-metrix file on your camera. If you deleted that file there is no way to get it back.
- Virb Edit software stabilization is not available/grayed out, why?
Not all video modes may support video stabilization. Additionally you may need G-metrix data imported to have stabilization available as u/curiosity_opfer points out below.
- I cannot import new clips, the camera is connected and ON but the 'Import New' button is grayed out and unclickable, what do I do?
Media Foundation vs. Ffmpeg vs. DXVA?
Encoder (only affects export / sharing):
Media Foundation: Fast, lower quality. Cannot create videos bigger than 4GB on Windows 7, and cannot create videos larger than 1920x1080 or frame rates greater than 120fps. These constraints are caused by Microsoft, so they cannot be fixed by us.
Ffmpeg: Slow (extremely slow at higher quality settings), high quality. No file size or resolution constraints. Produces smaller files than Media Foundation.
Decoder (affects export/sharing and playback):
Media Foundation: (Fast over all performance, but low quality and can't read videos that are too big) Uses graphics hardware, but with lower quality (causes some color quality loss causing videos to look gray). Does not work with videos larger than 1080p. Uses lots of memory
Ffmpeg: (Very fast on PCs with decent CPUs) Higher quality with no resolution constraints. Uses less memory. CPU power is the limiting factor on speed. Fastest performance for PCs with newer CPUs, very very slow for machines with older or slower CPUs.
DXVA: (Really really fast on laptops / notebooks) Uses graphics hardware with comparable quality to ffmpeg. Extremely fast on laptops and other devices with integrated graphics hardware. Slower on machines with dedicated graphics cards. No constraints on resolution.

Summary Over all, if you have a laptop, DXVA is likely your best option. For PC users, if you want high quality and don’t mind waiting, use Ffmpeg for everything. If you want your video faster, use Media Foundation for everything. Using the Media Foundation decoder and Ffmpeg encoder is a good compromise between quality and speed.
