# Imported GoPro Hero4 time-lapse from bike ride does not sync with GPS data in VIRB Edit

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-02-18)

I have imported a time-lapse (1 frame/sec resolution) video from my GoPro Hero4 into VIRB Edit. It's from a 96 minute bike ride, which shows up as a 4 minute video.

When I import GPS/GPX data from my Garmin Fenix 5, it does not align with the video. It sees it as a 4 minute bike ride. (VIRB Edit use this data to make route overlays on the video.)

How to make VIRB Edit properly recognize the video as a time-lapse? Or how do I "compress" the GPX so that it matches the video?

A way to solve this is to first losslessly change the frame rate of the GoPro video to 1 frame/sec, which changes it from 4 minutes to real time (96 minutes).
This answer explains how to extract the raw bitstream from the GoPro video using ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -y -i gopro.mp4 -c copy -f h264 gopro_raw.h264

.. and then remux it with a 1 frame/sec frame rate:
ffmpeg -y -r 1 -i gopro_raw.h264 -c copy gopro_remuxed.mp4

Import the remuxed file into VIRB Edit [VE], add the GPX file and add some G-Metrix gauges.  Finally speed it up again in VE.
VE can only speed up 800%, so the video has to be re-imported* after the initial export.  Speed it up and export again to come back to the original 4 minute length.  Not ideal, but it works.
* I actually had to use iMovie in the second step, since VE kept crashing
