GoPro joiner python script

gopro_joiner is a script to combine, rename and compress gopro videos. It is just something I hacked together because the file naming convention from GoPro is quite messed up. The script will also run ffmpeg on the files to combine the videos to compress them.

$ python ./joiner path/to/video_folder

Examples

Just combine

You have two GoPro video session. One is in three chapters, and the other one is just one chapter like this:

  • GH010073.MP4 (video 1 chapter 1)
  • GH010074.MP4 (video 2 chapter 1)
  • GH020073.MP4 (video 1 chapter 2)
  • GH030073.MP4 (video 1 chapter 3)

Run the script in the folder:

$ python ./joiner path/to/video_folder

The script will output video files:

  • GH010073_combined.MP4
  • GH010074_combined.MP4

Combine and compress

If you want to combine and compress just add scale and fps arguments like so:

$ python ./joiner path/to/video_folder --scale hd720 --fps 25
$ python ./joiner path/to/video_folder --scale hd1080 --fps 60
$ python ./joiner path/to/video_folder --scale 2k --fps 60
$ python ./joiner path/to/video_folder --scale 4k --fps 30

And so on..
