Insta360 GO 3 notes

EXIF tag limitations and fixes

The original files do not have model information.

The raw files include Make=Insta360 but lack a Model tag.

Solution:

1. Use exiftool to add these tags.

   exiftool -Make="Insta360" -Model="GO 3" PRO_VID_000.mp4

The iOS app does not export any metadata.

Solution:

1. Copy EXIF tags from the original file to the new file.

   exiftool -TagsFromFile PRO_VID_000.mp4 -all:all exported.mp4

The camera saves local timestamps without a timezone so it gets interpreted as UTC.

Solution:

1. Add a shortcut for all video date tags (AllDates is insufficient).

   %Image::ExifTool::UserDefined::Shortcuts = (
       VideoDates => [
           'Quicktime:CreateDate',
           'Quicktime:ModifyDate',
           'Quicktime:TrackCreateDate',
           'Quicktime:TrackModifyDate',
           'Quicktime:MediaCreateDate',
           'Quicktime:MediaModifyDate',
       ],
   );

2. Use the shortcut to adjust timezone. I'm in UTC-7 time zone, I use +=7. Adjust accordingly.

   exiftool -AllDates+=7 -VideoDates+=7 PRO_VID_000.mp4
