Create a custom layout for this frame size

[shahargli]

Hello,

Trying to work with files created by gopro10 with max resolution, I get the error:

How would I go about adding a custom layout?

Hi. There are built in layouts for some resolutions, but not for all - new resolutions keep being added!

I should document this a bit better perhaps.

You can take one of the builtin layouts, e.g. the 4k one - and modify it.

Here is a link: https://github.com/time4tea/gopro-dashboard-overlay/blob/main/gopro_overlay/layouts/default-3840x2160.xml

You can use the gopro-layout command to preview the layout. It will redraw the overlay whenever the file is changed, so you can use it for "live" editing.

Once you are happy, use the --layout-xml parameter to specify the location of the file.

In a docker container, you'll need to use the container path. If you're not sure, It's easiest to put the layout file in the same directory as the mp4 file, and just use the filename.

Please let me know how you get on!

Thanks.
Looking at the default-3840x2160.xml file, it is quite complex for me. I cannot find what should I change there.
Will the gopro-layout command be able to examine a gopro video file and extract the layout that can be later used by gopro-dashboard-overlay?
Can you recommend how can I use the gopro-layout command in such manner pls?

thanks
