Any GoPro experts out there? I’ve got a file on my camera that’s 12 ish minutes long but when I download it it’s only the last 4 minutes. I’ve tried the GoPro Quik app on my Mac and reading the file directly off the memory card and it’s the same both times but if I watch it on the camera it’s the full video.

Any ideas?

Haven't you got more than one video file created for this 12 minute video? Typically Gopro will create 4gb file segments.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.

On the memory card the previous file name is a different rider and trail and is sequentially 1 less than the offending file.

I just looked at one of mine as an example......

a 10' 03" video shot in 4K/30fps was broken into 2 files of 5' 19" and 4'44" with file numbering  and GH010704 and GH020704

It isn't the last digit that is sequential

Thanks, that's very helpful. I'll take another look after work.

Did that resolve the problem?
