Introduction
GoPro cameras save longer recordings to Micro-SD cards by splitting them into equal-sized files, each up to 4GB in size. Since the separate video files have GPS data embedded in them, normal video joining would result in a video that has no GPS data. The GoPro Video Joiner application can be used to join GoPro videos without losing the GPS data recorded.
Video Joining Walkthrough
1. Ensure that all chapters of the GoPro recording are in the same folder. This can be on the microSD card or on a local drive.
2. Navigate to this folder using the file tree on the left side of the application interface.
The video files in that directory will be grouped by the file type (extension) under those groups in the same file tree.
A preview is shown on the right when a video file is selected.
There will be a small description below the preview with media information of the video files:
- Number of chapters
- Frame rate
- Resolution
- GPS data presence and validity
3. Should you require the joined video to have a different resolution or bitrate, check “After joining re-encode video files” and select the desired encoding.
4. If you would like to select the destination folder, un-check “Save to source folder” and select a destination folder. This is useful when saving a joined version of multiple files on a microSD card to a local drive, rather than saving back to the microSD card.
5. After setting all the above options, click on the "Go" button to start joining videos.
