New feature: Cut videos by start/end time
Background
As an contributor, I typically try to upload GoPro timelapse videos. The segmentation of large videos is discussed in https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary_tools/issues/636. Independently, there are cases where an existing video has to be cut and uploaded (e.g. to cut out maneuvering on a parking lot). It would be convenient to do this via the Mapillary command line tool. Also, cutting using the Mapillary toolchain can make certain that video/time/telemetry data is consistent and meets Mapillary's own expectations.
New Feature Proposal
- By default, the Mapillary command line tool should upload the specified video completely (behavior as of today).
- If an optional start_time argument is passed, then the video is uploaded from the start_time.
- If an optional end_time argument is passed, then the video is uploaded until the end_time.
I'd like this feature, too. I have several .360 videos captured with a GoPro Max which need the start or end cut out to remove irrelevant footage. I tried extracting the images from the video locally to then manually exclude the undesired snapshots prior to uploading, but the resulting images are not treated as 360º panoramas (due to #336, I believe).
This capability would be greatly appreciated.
This can be done by geotag with a external GPX. The final clip is the overlap between the GPX and the video, so cut your GPX should solve the issue:
mapillary_tools process --geotag_source=gpx --geotag_source_path=my_gpx.gpx
