GoPro File Transporter

Installation

Requirements

• OS: Windows (not tested on other distros)
• Python: 3.10 tested (should work with other versions)
• Env: Conda (or another virtual environment)

Install dependencies

Create a conda environment from environment.yml

conda env create -f environment.yml

Usage

Using python

python GoProTransporter.py

1. Opens UI in with two directory selection buttons and proxy format options
2. Select which proxy format you want to use (DaVinci: Proxy/, Adobe: Proxies/)
3. Select directory with GoPro files (Example: D:\DCIM\100GOPRO)
4. Select the target directory in which you want to copy the files. (Example: E:\2024_Q1_Skitrip)
   • This script will create proxy files based on the .LRV files on the GoPro.
5. Press Copy
6. Wait until complete! (Or cancel)
   • Already copied files will be skipped

Proxy files

Proxy files will be generated in a format that Davinci Resolve expects.
The .LRV files on the GoPro will be renamed from GLxxxxxx.LRV to GXxxxxxx.mov and they will be stored in a proxies that will be created inside the target directory.

Building executable

The executable is generated using pyinstaller which is already included in the conda environment, using the folling command:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --additional-hooks-dir=./hooks GoProTransporter.py 

Alternatively you can use the bundle.sh shell script to do this for you

./bundle.sh

Then you can run script using the GoProTransporter.exe executable which is generated in dist/. You can place it anywhere and open the UI.

TODO's
