This project facilitates taking dashcam video from compatible dashcams and producing timelapse summary videos from the source content, with a GPS map overlay. This is primarily intended for my own personal use, and as such, may not be compatible with any given environment other than my own.
The following external software packages are used:
- ExifTool
- FFmpeg
- VapourSynth
In addition, the following VapourSynth plugins are required:
- ffmpegsource
- fmtconv
- havsfunc
- mvtools
There are several Python dependencies, so it is recommended to create a virtualenv using poetry and to run any commands from within that virtualenv.
In addition, access to an OpenStreetMap tile server is required to generate the GPS overlay map. Information about potential providers or instructions to run your own tile server can be found at https://switch2osm.org/.
