Hey!

Been playing around with exiftool, mapillary\_tools (v0.14.0b1 and v0.13.3) and the Mapillary uploader (v4.7.2), but have had no luck with getting my video working 😢

Shot on a Insta360 x4, timelapse with 2 sec between shots. Used my phone to start/end recording and made sure to always be unlocked so it could use GPS from it.

When I add the video (folder with just the .insv and .mp4) to Mapillary uploader, it looks great. The entire GPS path is mapped, so I upload.

My issue is that once the upload completes the “Processing 1 capture from Aug 3” at [https://www.mapillary.com/](https://www.mapillary.com/), the trip ends up way to short at only 263 images and images are at the completely wrong location. (Uploaded sequence on 3 Aug 2025 12:38 [Mapillary](https://www.mapillary.com/app/user/Johand?pKey=935366848748785), I’ll delete it soon since it is completely wrong)

I got the raw files if someone from the mapillary team wants it 🙂

_Possible useful info:_

For fun I did export the .gpx file from Insta360 studio, and it is way to short. So seems that isn’t getting the full trip. Matches the length that is incorrectly assumed by [mapillary.com](http://mapillary.com) processing.

So I did a desperate attempt to create a export myself: `exiftool -m -ee -api largefilesupport -progress -p gpx.fmt KrokeroyVest/VID_20250803_124029_00_005.insv > ./tool_export.gpx` and that did create a full GPS route

Very strange, would you mind sharing the original files in a Google Drive or other method for us to take a look? cc: @tao

Same issue here, it looked great on Desktop Uploader map but once uploaded, the sequence appeared squeezed on 95% of the actual GPX track. Started at the right spot but ended a couple hundred meters before the end, as if camera time was slower than real time. Will upload and send you.

@Johand thank you for your patience 🙂

This issue should be fixed now, could you check again ?
