You’re a life saver! Very informative but still calm and not rushing through all subjects. Can’t understand why people are paying a ton of money for that telemetry extractor which does virtually the same thing

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 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.

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.

gps, ,metadata per frame is very useful to recreate a scene. captures and to exaclty locate the spot captured in the frame.

[julitocas]

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

[mattiazammarchi]

[Guthbutter]

What an excellent video, very informative and easy to follow especially for someone like me who is very new to a lot of this so thank you! 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.
