Three cameras, one trip
Somebody had the GoPro on the boat. Somebody else had their phone out at dinner. There is a proper camera with a card in it that nobody has looked at since. Left alone they become three separate records of the same week, and the good version — the one where the jump off the boat and the dinner afterwards are in the same film — never gets made.
Why the clips do not line up by themselves
Every camera writes the time into each file as it records, and the film is put in order from those times. Phones set their own clocks. A GoPro sets its clock when you tell it to, and if you never did, every clip carries a date from the year the camera was made. Set it before the trip and the ordering is automatic; forget, and the clips have to be placed by hand.
Getting the files off the camera at full quality
Put the card in a computer and copy the files as they are. Do not export them through an app that converts or trims them — that is where resolution goes and where the recording time can be replaced by the export time. Then add them through the same link everyone else is using; it works on a laptop exactly as it does on a phone.
Photos between the clips
A film made only of action footage is exhausting. The photographs — the harbour before the boat went out, the table before the food arrived — are the breaths between the clips. Add them to the same trip and they take their place in the order by their own dates.
Length, aspect ratio and the vertical phone problem
GoPro clips are wide. Phone clips are often tall. A film has one shape, chosen before it is built, and each clip is fitted to it. If you want a wide film for a television and a tall one for phones, they are two versions from the same trip.
One film from all of it
Everyone's clips and photographs, in the order they happened, trimmed to the parts worth watching and cut to the music you chose. You watch the whole film before you decide whether to keep it.
What Videmory does with it
One person starts the trip and shares a private link. Everybody who was there adds their own photos and video from their own phone — no account, nothing to install. Videmory reads the date and time your camera wrote into each file, puts the whole trip in the order it happened, trims the clips, and edits it to a soundtrack you choose. You watch the finished film before you decide to buy it.
Introductory launch offer: AU$49 for your first finished film and AU$15 for each additional version — another length, another aspect ratio, or both. No subscription, and nothing to pay in advance. Introductory pricing is available for a limited time and may increase in the future. See how it works · Pricing
Your questions, answered
Can I mix GoPro footage with phone video in one film?
Yes. Add the GoPro clips from the card through a computer and the phone clips from the phone, and they go into the same trip. The film is built from all of it, in the order each clip was recorded, so a GoPro clip from the morning sits before a phone clip from the afternoon whoever shot which.
Does the GoPro’s clock need to match my phone’s?
It helps enormously, and the moment to set it is before you leave. The film is put in order from the time each camera wrote into its files, and a camera whose clock was never set stamps every clip with a date from years ago. No software can know when those really were. Set the clock, and everything else takes care of itself.
What files should I upload?
The ones the camera made. Copy them off the card as they are rather than through an app that converts them, and add them through the link from a computer. The same goes for phone video: send the clip itself, not a screen recording of it.
Will high-resolution footage be scaled down?
Every clip is rendered to the size of the finished film, so footage larger than the film is scaled to fit it. What you get back is one MP4 at one size, with every clip in it matched to that.
Can other people add their own GoPro clips to the same trip?
Yes. The link is the same for everybody, and anyone can add from a phone or a computer. Two cameras' worth of the same jump from two angles, in order, is the kind of thing a group film is for.
