Capturing & Processing Game Video
Full field videos are large. The raw videos can be 60GB per game and processed game videos are about 5GB. It takes hours to process the videos for each game even with high end CPUs.
Capturing Video
Camera Operation
The following steps work and avoid camera crash/hang issues.
- Turn on both Cameras
- Plug them into the battery
- Power on and pair remote control
- Start recording using remote
- Verify the red light is blinking on both cameras
- Stop recording using remote
If the red light is not blinking the camera is likely hung. To resolve this:
- Stop recording using remote
- Power off remote
- Manually stop recording on non-crashed camera if the remote didn't work
- On crashed camera, unplug external battery, then remove & replace internal battery
- Follow original steps
Managing Heat
Action cameras are designed for short format video. Heat can be an issue when the cameras run for long periods. Using an external battery and filming at 4k instead of 5k help keep the heat under control.
If you are filming outside, devise a shade for the camera.
Both the battery and shade can be attached to the mount using the extra threaded holes.

Processing Video
Transfer the raw video files to your computer from the SD card directly (no need to use GoPro's service). Load videos (GoPro makes a set of videos, select the set) into Action Stitch and use this calibration file. It is normal for stitching to take 3-8 hours depending on CPU speed.
