GoPro Studio for Linux

This repository contains some bash scripts to process your GoPro media files (.JPG .MP4). They are optimized for GoPro Hero 3+, but its parameters can be easily changed for your particular GoPro. The scripts works thanks to the GoPro naming convention.

Download the repository and start using it

git clone https://github.com/ponchoblesa/GoPro-Studio-for-linux.git

Import

Total unattended and customizable. Organize your files in your computer by date and type (video, chaptered video, timelapse photos and normal photos), like the GoPro Studio does. For each day, the script will create a folder and inside, will classify the files by type, including organizing the timelapses in different folders.

Usage

Open the script and customize the vars:

CAMERA_DIR="/media/user/MyCard" // The root folder where the memory card with the files is
DEST_DIR="~/GoPro"                 // The path where to import the files

OVERWRITE_FILES=false              // Clear what it does right?

DATE="*" 						   // Date pattern yyyy-mm-dd.
									     Example1: 2015-10-15 (Only files of that day).
									     Example2: 2015-11-* (All the files of November).
									     Example3: * (All the files regardless the date)

GET_TIMELAPSE=true                  // Set to false if you do not want to import a specific type of file
GET_PHOTOS=true
GET_VIDEOS=true

Then save it and execute it from terminal

bash gopro_import.sh

Process

Also total unattended and customizable. It will process you local GoPro files with some common features. It will process folder by folder, but creating threads of processing. So depending on the amount of files and the feature, the process will take advantage of all the capabilities of your computer in order to perform all the features as faster as possible. For this reason, my advice is to not to run any other thing while running this script.

In the case of wanting to kill the process, press ctrl+c as many time as needed until all threads are killed properly.

Requirements

ImageMagick: sudo apt-get install imagemagick
MenCoder: sudo apt-get install mencoder
Ffmpeg: Follow instructions in the website to install

HandBrake CLI: Download/Upgrade it from this repository:

  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots
  sudo apt-get update
  apt-get install --only-upgrade handbrake-cli

Usage

Open the script and customize the vars:

MEDIA_DIR="~/GoPro/2015-*"  // The folder that you want to process with date pattern yyyy-mm-dd.
							    Example1: ~/GoPro/2015-10-15 (Only files of that day).
								Example2: ~/GoPro/2015-11-* (All the files of November).
								Example3: ~/GoPro/* (All the files regardless the date)

COLLAGE=true				// Set to false if you do not want to run a particular feature
FISHEYE=true
VIDEO=true

VIDEO_DEVICE_OPTIMIZED=true

TIMELAPSE=true
DEFAULT_FPS=true			// Set it to false if you want to customize the frames per second
FPS_SLOW=0						of the timelapse video. Then change the zero value for the two desired
FPS_FAST=0						fps values for the videos.

Then save it and execute it from terminal

bash gopro_process.sh

Included Features

Timelapse

TIMELAPSE=true

By default it will create two videos of two different speeds. If the timelapse is bigger than a hundred of photos, the speeds are 20fps and 10fps. Otherwise it will be 5fps and 3fps. If you want to change these values, you have to unlock the default fps var. For example, for a configuration of 13fps and 17fps, the initial variables are:

DEFAULT_FPS=false
FPS_SLOW=13
FPS_FAST=17

Collage

COLLAGE=true

With the pictures of the timelapse, it will create 4 collages of two different configuration, 2 of them big if there are many pictures.

Fish Eye Removing

FISHEYE=true

It will create a folder inside the photos path with the edited pictures. The script is optimized for GoPro Hero3+. If you want to change these parameters, edit the line of the script with the desire parameters:

mogrify -distort barrel "0 0 -0.3" *.JPG

Video merger and compression

VIDEO=true

It will merge in one all the videos of each day. The result will be a single file [date].mp4 with all the videos of these day in chronological order.

VIDEO_DEVICE_OPTIMIZED=true

This video is compressed in order to get a lighter file with almost the same video quality. If the variable "VIDEO_DEVICE_OPTIMIZED" is true, it will also crop its resolution optimized for device, giving as a result an even lighter video which display perfectly in every device. Otherwise, the resolution will be bigger and optimized for big screens.

For compression is used a preset of Handbrake a bit modified. If you want to change this default behaviour, take a look to the documentation of Handbrake CLI and edit the variable $handbrake_opts of the script.

In the case of interrupting this process abruptly, a temp folder inside the video folder could remain. Delete from this temp folder all the files which have a creation date of the same day of execution of the script, and run the script again. If you are not quite sure of which files should be deleted, remove the entire folder manually and run it again.

Merge mixing videos and timelapse

This feature allows to include in the final video the desires timelapse videos. It will work only if the timelapse where created also with this script and following the naming convention. In order to use that, just copy to the "Videos" folder the timelapse videos you would like to include in your merged video.

Example of content in the video folder:

	~/GoPro/2015-10-16/Videos$ ls -lrt

	oct 16 00:59 GOPR5342.MP4
	oct 16 11:53 GOPR6872.MP4
	oct 16 12:42 003_FPS5.mp4
	oct 16 13:27 GOPR9689.MP4
	oct 16 13:48 012_FPS20.mp4
	oct 16 17:20 028_FPS10.mp4
	oct 16 22:20 GOPR4544.MP4
	oct 16 22:24 005_FPS3.mp4

Running the script with these files will give you a video named 2015-10-16.mp4 with all these videos merged in chronological order.
