Adding geotag to Images

[Phanindra]

Hello,

I have few questions and I am struggling last few days for geotag the images.
1. Is there any command you have extract frames from Video file? If its there how can use it?
2. I have used 3rd party tool (ffmpeg) for extracting images from videos. Now I want to geotag those images.

Can you suggest me what are the steps I have to take for geotag to Image. And I have gpx file to which consists of the following data.
And I have used your geotag but I am getting warning like "no writable tags set from xxx.jpg"

Could you guide me in right direction.

Thank you,

1. Is there any command you have extract frames from Video file?

No, sorry.  ExifTool does not process video data.

Can you suggest me what are the steps I have to take for geotag to Image.

This page should explain all you need to know.

And I have used your geotag but I am getting warning like "no writable tags set from xxx.jpg"

See troubleshooting tip number 2 on the page referenced above.

Thank you for your replay Phil.

As you suggested I have tried still I am getting some errors.
I have followed the below steps for tagging to my images and I have gpx data yet end below since I am preparing gpx data from csv file. currently I have added sample gpx file data.

Please let me know whats wrong?

Stepe1: Showing my picture metadata CMD is nothing but command prompt.

Step 2: Checking the times as you mentioned in trouble shooting in point 2.

Step3:I ran command for geotag to image still I am getting an issues with v2 and without v2
Hope you will get more clarity on my issues.

You forgot the dash on the -v2 option of your -geotag command.  With this option, you will get more information about the timestamps.  It is likely a time zone problem.  See troubleshooting point number 3 for help.

Thank you phil,

Finally I am able to geoTag the Images but it's updating same Geotag information to all the images 
I am thinking might be the issue with Geotime in gpx file. Am I right? Or do you have any suggestions?

I have question for you, Is there any way for create our own tags to images using Exiftool?

[Phil Harvey]

Take a look at the timestamps for your images and then check these times in the GPX file.  It could be that the GPS wasn't updating during the period when the images were taken.  (Using the -v4 option in the command will show you all of the points extracted from the GPX log, so you can also check it this way.)

Edit: You can create custom user-defined tags in the config file.
