Thank you so much for the two walkthroughs on Exiftool and Exiftool with Python. You also made a subscriber out of me and revived my interest in Python! 😀
Thanks for your GREAT video. I hate technology documentation. Your demonstration saved me days of head-scratching and frustration. BTW, your instructions worked for me.
Thanks for this video - I am searching for a long time a solution for my gopro videos which I take while I am riding my dirt bike. being able to extract the GPX for a batch of files is a really important information I need.
01/08/2024 Sutton Coldfield, England This is excellent. Software does way more than I _want_, but I have extensive computer experience so was able to quickly find what command syntax I _need_, save my GPX.fmt file and extract the GPS readings from my Nextbase 312G dashcam.
@@Franchyze923 BTW is there a video where you explain how to merge a mp4 or any other video with gpx? Or to converted video (actually, in not sure if e.g. original video source with gps data converted to Avi will still contain gps data).
Excuse me, when I tried extracting data from a video with the -ee command, I got this returned: "Wildcards don't work in the directory specification. No matching files". Do you what is the problem and how to fix this?
Hello Franchyze923, Thanks for the detailed explanation, but unfortunately I can't get a usable GPX file! I have a DJI Osmo Action 4 and wanted to make an offerlay with the GPX data using Virb Edit, but unfortunately there is no usable data in the GPX file! Is it possible that this procedure doesn't work with the DJI?
Hello again, I stole a few videos from a GoPro and it all works there, so it's down to the coding from DJI. If I open the DJI videos on my phone with the Mimo app, it works too, but it's very limited! Nevertheless, a great video and very objectively explained, even understandable for someone from abroad.

Now we are need to add that gpx data in to mp4 file because of gopro 12 has not a gps chip and quick app not add gps label with out gps data combined with mp4. is ist posible to add gpx data coming from android phone to mp4 file and uploud the gopro cloud than add label use quick app
Thanks for this explanation. I’m no expert in computers and I was able to follow your instructions. I have been able to pull out that information from a GoPro video but I was wondering if it’s posible to get information from gyroscope… I have seen it in videos so I’m pretty positive it’s embedded somewhere in the video
That's a good question and something I'm interested in as well. So when you use the -ee flag, the results don't have any telemetry data? Are you able to provide a small sample that I can take a look at? I'll do some googling and see if I can find anything.
There is probably a way. I'm trying to take a look at the documentation but it looks like exiftool.org/ is down at the moment. Have you tried using the -ee flag? That should give you more info about what's in the file. Might also want to look for IMU/accelerometer data. If you have a file sample, I can try to take a look.
@@steadywhoop no, I know my video files don't have that sort of data embedded. It's dependent on the video file. If you have a sample file I can take a look.
Hi can it convert video file like mp4 to gpx file will it give me latitude and longitude also my question is if mp4 video is long can I pause it at specific point to get latitude and longitude by converting video file to gpx
Yep, pretty sure that means your video has no GPS data in it. I just tried running exiftool -ee video_with_no_gps.mp4 and there was no GPS data in the output.
good morning and thank you for the video. i've followed your instructions but for me it doesn't work, i still have problems to extract gps information. Do you know the possible causes please?
I'm trying to get GPS data from an mp4 video clip. The command exiftool -ee filename.mp4 doesn't give any GPS data in the list. Does this mean there's no GPS in the file or am I not using the right command? Thank you for an excellent video.

hmm interesting, no I don't know if there is any sort of time out. 400MB doesn't seem too big of a file. If you're willing to share the video I can try to take a look. Also, you can post on the exiftool forums - exiftool.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=e04117e128098707a77aeaf8d8f89261&#c1

Gotta be honest: did not watched full video cause I am in a hurry. (will do later probably) but heres my rushed stupid question: Can I "hypothetically" use this for any vid and find out the GPS data? thanks in advance
I know some companies have software that does this like GoPro and Garmin. Not sure what device you are using but might want to see if the manufatucer has some sort of software that can do it.

Is it possible for you to post a tutorial on how to export to .csv from .mp4 file using exiftool? I tried to replicate the same steps from this video but must not be doing a step wrong.
Try this - exiftool -p '$gpslatitude,$gpslongitude,$gpsspeed' -n -ee /video.mp4 > /output.csv If you are on windows you will need double quotes around '$gpslatitude,$gpslongitude,$gpsspeed' instead of single quotes.
