5 months ago Hiya - thanks for your interest in the software! Yes the Hero 12 was a bit of an unexpected curveball, with no GPS.
- As long as the video times are synced to an external gpx file, the overlay using "--use-gpx-only" has been shown to be mostly ok. However, syncing the time is difficult!
- Significant work would have to be done I think to concatenate files from a hero 12 taking into consideration the lack of gps. perhaps there is an internal time signal that can be used to figure out the relative times of each clip...?
- unfortunately I don't have a hero 12, and i'm not planning on buying one - because it doesn't have gps, so is useless for me.
- given the amount of work involved, i'm not sure that i can promise special support for hero 12.
- that having been said - if you are able to share your above files with me, that would be useful to look at the data tracks, and see what there is... (please don't feel compelled! - you can email a link to them to gopro-overlay@time4tea.net - maybe from wetransfer or similar)

Thank you for developing and maintaining gopro-dashboard-overlay! It's a valuable tool for cyclists like me who use GoPros to capture rides.
I use a GoPro Hero 12 action camera and a Garmin Edge 1040 cycle computer for recording my ride activity. The Hero 12 lacks built-in GPS, but fortunately, detailed ride metrics are available from the Garmin.
gopro-dashboard-overlay seems like a perfect tool to create video overlays with cycling metrics. However, the software currently doesn't support the Hero 12. Would you consider adding support for this model in a future release please? It would be greatly appreciated.
If technical differences between the Hero 12 and previous models impact support, any information available would be happy to help.
gopro-join.py was briefly explored for file concatenation, but it wasn't compatible with the Hero 12's non-continuous recording style. Additionally, the --gpx option with the Garmin Edge file and video resulted in the GPX file being ignored.
Some success was achieved by creating a video using the GPX file and the --use-gpx-only option to overlay the data, a more integrated solution within gopro-dashboard-overlay would be ideal.
I have tried a few things, output below, which maybe be useful.:
Because of battery limitations I have been stopping and starting recordings creating multiple clips for the duration of my rides.
I have a folder with a list of files, here is an example:
gopro-join.py output

I created a join script in the short term. Here is the output from the script: I’ve only shown output from the first two files concatenation and also not the final output of the join because it takes a long time. ```shell mygopro2-join.py /infile/GX010002.MP4 /work/myoutput.mp4 Pattern: /infile/GX*MP4 Detected files: ['/infile/GX010002.MP4', '/infile/GX010003.MP4', '/infile/GX010004.MP4', '/infile/GX010005.MP4', '/infile/GX010006.
