GoPro Sync

Gopro Sync

discusses how to get files from the Gopro via Quik to a fileshare.

• Start Herberts windows PC
• Plug in display port and Logitech unified receiver from job4
• Plug in Hero7 in USB3 port

Now Quik is starting and syncing to F:\Gopro. Check the new date folders appearing there

Move important files to M:\video2\4k\gopro If M: is not accessible, try

net use m: /delete (and all other connections to the same host tht show up with "net use")
net use M: \\192.168.1.10\Multimedia gt86brz /user:joachim /persistent:yes

Fix 2016 Recording Date

After some time with empty batteries, correct date and time on a Gopro are lost. Make sure to connect it to Quik to set the correct time before you record.

If it is too late and recordings have the wrong times, Eye of Gnome can show the GPS time of JPGs which usually still is correct (no idea why Gopro doesn't use it to set time).

Time difference is then (GPSDateStamp + GPSTimeStamp) - DateTime

To fix the issue easily I wrote a python script which uses the great exiftool. See https://gist.github.com/joba-1/bdff43371dee7e23f536e7da5e373116

• use a JPG to calculate time difference between GPSDateTime and DateTime
• extract date from media files and add time diff
