GoPro-Android video importing

Post by vince1611 »

Sorry if this has been covered. I have a Galaxy S3 (4.3) and Petrol Head v18.0.6.
Can I import my Gopro video into video sandbox for overlaying?
I tried simply dragging the video into the folder where the other HLT videos are located, but no luck.

Thanks

To overlay a GoPro on a S3, please convert it to a HD video encoded in .mp4 first:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i <goprovideo> -s hd720 <videoforlaptimer>.mp4
In case you get an error message when issuing this command, try

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i <goprovideo> -s hd720 -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a aac -strict -2 <videoforlaptimer>.mp4
Once you have done this, transfer <videoforlaptimer>.mp4 to your SD card. The correct folder position can be seen by entering LapTimer -> Sensor List -> Info (the small i button). Double check it is the right position by verifying it against video LapTimer "sees" in Video List and that are on he card too. Just like you did it before...

You need to download ffmpeg from the net, it is available as binary for any platform and free.
