Installing and Using Simple Video Cutter 0.26.0

If you encounter any issues with this software, please report them as I don't have a large test dataset to draw from. The Simple Video Cutter 0.26.0 is designed to process a single file from a sequence of files, joining all the files together seamlessly. Additionally, the software comes equipped with several built-in dashboards that can be highly customized using an XML file.

For more information on configuring the dashboard layout, please refer to the 'docs/xml' and numerous examples provided. If you're interested in converting GPX files, you can use the `venv/bin/gopro-to-gpx.py` command.

Another key feature of Simple Video Cutter 0.26.0 is its ability to join a sequence of MP4 files together. For example, you can use the following command:

```

venv/bin/gopro-dashboard.py -gpx ~/Downloads/Morning_Ride.gpx -privacy 52.000,-0.40000,0.50 ~/gopro/GH020073.MP4 GH020073-dashboard.MP4

```

This will render the files and display them in a customized dashboard layout. The format of the Dashboard Configuration file is also worth noting.

On Linux systems, you can use the `TZ` variable to change the timezone used by the renderer. However, this may produce unexpected results if you travel to a different timezone. To avoid this issue, you can set your local timezone using the `TZ` variable.

The Simple Video Cutter 0.26.0 also allows you to set a privacy zone, which will override the GPS data in the GoPro video. Additionally, if you provide a GPX file from a Garmin or other device, the software will use this file for the GPS track.

It's worth noting that the Hero 9 (at least) seems to have poor GPS tracking. To overcome this issue, you can overlay a dashboard onto your GoPro MP4 files using the `venv/bin/gopro-dashboard.py` command.

Overall, Simple Video Cutter 0.26.0 is a powerful tool for processing and customizing GoPro video files. With its ability to join multiple files together, cut sections from movies, and convert metadata to GPX or CSV files, it's an essential tool for anyone working with GoPro footage.
