Gopro Extra Files? In Case You Didn't Know...

GOPRO camera Hero3: files .thm and .lrv

How to take advantage of the files generated by the camera GOPRO Hero3?

First you copy all the files on your computer (.mp4, .thm, .lrv). Then:
 

• You take your .thm and you change the extension to .jpg (or simply you add .jpg).
• You take your .lrv and you change the extension to .mp4 (or simply you add .mp4).

What's the point?

• File (.thm).jpg shows your sequence. You can you use it as thumbnail in example.
• File (.lrv).mp4 is a low resolution version of your video. Useless? No, rather clever. This low resolution version allows you to do your editing on your old laptop. And only before starting the final export HD videos you replace the low res file by the original .mp4 HD using the same file name.

Conclusion: keep all original files generated by your GOPRO Hero3.

Cool, no?

Info was taken from a website I found but I did test it and it does work! I was doing some swimming with the family today. Here are some fun pics from the day just messing around.

Poor guy. Didn't quite fit.
