I want to extract the (manually set) highlights from my GoPro-footage (HERO6-Black). I want to do this to mark the highlights on vacation and can use them to edit in Premiere Pro later.
I found that the Highlights are stored in the mp4-file. So a simple parser that extracts all highlights with a timestamp would be the goal (preferably in python).
The answer to this Question
"https://superuser.com/questions/881661/how-where-does-a-gopro-camera-store-hilight-tags"
suggests they are stored in the mp4-header (udta
box).
I used a HEX-Editor to find the suggested box but couldn't find anything. Having said this I'm not super familiar doing this!
As the other Question is more than 5 years old they mybe changed something?
I'm also aware of the GPMF
(https://github.com/gopro/gpmf-parser) but I could not find anything about the highlights, just the sensordata.
I also foud this: https://community.gopro.com/t5/GoPro-Apps-for-Desktop/Where-are-highlight-tags-stored/m-p/525607/highlight/true#/M25010 but I think it refers to the highlights set in the GoPro-Quick software which don't get saved in the mp4-file.
I would appreciate if anyone has an answer or an idea on what I could test. Thank you :)
