Extract GPS from Sony A7iii MP4 & add Quicktime GPS tags & Adobe XMP GPS tags?

[lukemp4gps]

The Sony A7iii camera can take videos and if pared with a cell phone via bluetooth it will record static GPS information in the file and in a separate xml file.  Adobe Bridge and Google Photos do not read this information.

I can manually add GPS data in Bridge but that is a pain and Google Photos does not read Adobe GPS.

I understand that Google Photos reads the quicktime tags GPS info.

I would like to figure out how to have a command that reads the embedded GPS info from the MP4 and then adds it to both the Adobe Bridge GPS location and the Quicktime GPS location.

Is this possible?

If I type

exiftool -a -u -g C0001.MP4

I get this output from the camera's mp4 files.

Ah, that looks like a tough thing to fix.  The data is in NAME:VALUE pairs.  Any chance of a small example file?

[StarGeek]

Ok, I have an idea I want to try.  Give me a day or so.

[StarGeek]

Hmm... I'm not getting my idea to work out.

Phil, is it possible to get all the duplicates of a tag in a user defined config?  I was thinking about getting all the AcquisitionRecordGroupItemValue and AcquisitionRecordGroupItemName and making a hash out of them, returning only the specific pair if it exists.  I can't seem to get all the duplicate entries.

[lukemp4gps]

Thanks for checking this out.

Do I need to get the GPS info out as plain text and then convert it and then place it back in to the quicktime gps tags?

[Phil Harvey]

Phil, is it possible to get all the duplicates of a tag in a user defined config?

Yes, using the API calls.  You can either call GetValue() with tag names like Copy1:AcquisitionRecordGroupItemName, etc, or call GetInfo() to get them all and search through them using GetGroup().

- Phil

Edit: Or, with some insider knowledge, the fastest way would be to generate the tag keys yourself for the call to GetValue().  The attached config file will create new tags for all of the AcquisitionRecordGroupItem tags.  For the sample file, it will generate these additional tags:

And I've generalized the join_tags.config file somewhat to allow this to be used for any XML name/value pairs by just changing these two lines at the start of the file to whatever you want:

Code Select Expand

my $nameTag = 'AcquisitionRecordGroupItemName';
my $valueTag = 'AcquisitionRecordGroupItemValue';

[StarGeek]

And that did what I had in mind.

@lukemp4gps, download the config file attached to Phil's post.  You would then use it to copy the data to the appropriate places.

Thank you both for the help.  I tried on multiple files, including the example file that I uploaded but I keep getting errors.

I type the following into terminal on a mac.  The config file and the video file are in the same directory.

I type the following into terminal on a mac. 

Just realized that I needed single quotes on the mac terminal. It worked after that change.

But it does not add the GPS tags in the XMP location that Adobe Bridge can recognize and I uploaded the sample video to Google Photos after running the command and it also does not show GPS information.

Do I need to manually copy the GPS to the other locations? IS it possible to do this in a single command?

It also seems to strip out any existing exif data from the video file.

But it does not add the GPS tags in the XMP location that Adobe Bridge can recognize and I uploaded the sample video to Google Photos after running the command and it also does not show GPS information.

For Bridge you have to copy the values to the XMP GPSLatitude/GPSLongitude tags.

Google Photos is picky with regards to the GPS coordinates.  Try Keys:GPSCoordinates.  If not Keys, try UserData or ItemList.  At least one of them works, can't remember which atm.

Do I need to manually copy the GPS to the other locations? IS it possible to do this in a single command?

You can add other locations the same way.

It also seems to strip out any existing exif data from the video file.

It shouldn't.  What does it seem to be stripping.  Are you using exiftool to see stripped data or something else? 

[Phil Harvey]

Google Photos is picky with regards to the GPS coordinates.  Try Keys:GPSCoordinates.  If not Keys, try UserData or ItemList.  At least one of them works, can't remember which atm.

Google recognizes UserData:GPSCoordinates, but there may still be an unresolved incompatibility since the trailing "/" was added in version 12.09.  I'll do something about this in 12.11, but until then you should use 12.08 or earlier when writing GPSCoordinates for compatibility with Google Photos.

- Phil

Edit: the incompatiblity wasn't due to the trailing "/" as changed in 12.09.  Instead, Google Photos is picky about the number of digits after the decimal place, and requires at least 3 digits or it doesn't recognize the position.  ExifTool 12.11 will pad to 3 digits if necessary. (read here.)

Thank you both again. This is my attempt to make all the tag changes happen with one command.

When I do this, the original C0001.MP4 file then does not have exif data (as seen in Bridge) was visible before.

It also creates a new file called C0001.MP4_original. If I rename this extension to MP4 it also does not have exif data visible in Bridge.

The correct date/time shows up in Google Photos but no GPS, at least with my command below.

exiftool -config join_tags.config '-GPSCoordinates<$XML:Latitude $XML:LatitudeRef, $XML:Longitude $XML:LongitudeRef -GPSLatitude<$XML:Latitude $XML:LatitudeRef -GPSLongitute<$XML:Longitude $XML:LongitudeRef -UserData:GPSGoordinates<$XML:Latitude $XML:LatitudeRef, $XML:Longitude $XML:LongitudeRef' C0001.MP4
It looks like it added the GPSCoordinates, but Google Photos doesn't seem to recognize it, or did I add it wrong?

GPS Coordinates                 : 41 deg 29' 19.67" N, 81 deg 33' 34.31" E, 81 m Above Sea Level

If I type exiftool -a -u -g C0001.MP4
The data is in the file but not showing up in Bridge, the dateTimeOriginal and all meta data stops showing up.

[Phil Harvey]

There is something else going on because the "_original" file is the renamed file before it was edited by ExifTool.  If the EXIF came from this file before renaming, then it should still be there.

I edited my post above to show the exif data that is is the file after running the command.

I guess I something is wrong in the command on my end.

It has this weird entry

Code Select Expand

Unknown edts                    : (Binary data 28 bytes, use -b option to extract)

as well as these:

Could that be the problem?
