We all know how important imagery can be for spatial analysis, and a video is a simply a series of images (frames) captured at a specific rate, such as 30 frames per second. While video data contains important visual information, the application of this information in a GIS is limited unless you know when<\/strong> and where<\/strong> the video was collected.<\/p>\n

High-performance, sophisticated systems provide video data that comes with this “when and where” metadata already embedded in the video, but lower-cost sensor systems with a GPS and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) are often deployed without embedded metadata. In order to use video data with Full Motion Video capabilities in ArcGIS, the video stream and metadata must be combined into a single compliant video file (compliant with a standard known as MISB<\/a>). This can be done using the Video Multiplexer geoprocessing tool<\/a>, available with the Image Analyst extension<\/a>.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2309472,"id":2309472,"title":"FMV_PreMUX1","filename":"FMV_PreMUX1.png","filesize":1049520,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/FMV_PreMUX1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/imagery\/video-multiplexer-tips-tricks\/fmv_premux1","alt":"Video

You can play a video in the Full Motion Video<\/a> (FMV) player without any metadata.\u00a0 However, if your video has the proper metadata, you can display the video footprint, sensor location and track, and look angle on your map as you play the video. You can also add features directly in your video and see them displayed on your map, or vice versa. The Video Multiplexer tool embeds geospatial information from a metadata file into a video to produce a geo-enabled video file, which can be visualized and used for data capture in the FMV player.<\/p>\n

You can get oriented with Video Multiplexer tool with the video multiplexer tutorial<\/a>. Tutorials can be great teaching mechanisms, but in order to learn all about a workflow we sometimes need a little more than a perfect sample dataset that works like a charm. In this blog, we’ll go over some tips and tricks for working with the Video Multiplexer tool to make sure you can be successful with your own data.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Minimum Metadata Requirements<\/h1>\n

Below you will see the minimum metadata requirements to use with the Video Multiplexer tool. With this metadata, the Video Multiplexer can calculate the video frame corners, and thus the size, shape, and position of the video frame outline that can be displayed on a map. Without this data, a video frame footprint cannot be calculated.<\/p>\n

The Precision Time stamp field<\/h1>\n

Assuming you have all the required metadata, one of the most important steps in formatting your metadata for the Multiplexer tool is making sure the Precision Time stamp is in UNIX Coordinated Universal Time<\/strong> (UTC), in microseconds<\/strong>, with 16 digits with no decimal places<\/strong>.\u00a0If your time stamp is currently in human-readable format (e.g. 3\/13\/2018 4:15:03 PM) and you need to convert it to UNIX, you can use an online tool or an Excel formula.<\/p>\n

For accurate results, your existing timestamps should include date and time with seconds (dd\/mm\/yyyy hh:mm:ss).<\/p>\n

…using an online tool<\/h2>\n

The Epoch Converter<\/a>\u00a0converts human-readable timestamps to UNIX timestamps individually or in batches. Copy\/paste your timestamp rows from your Excel sheet into the batch converter and choose to export the UNIX results to a CSV file. You can then simply copy\/paste the new UNIX timestamps back into your metadata file.<\/p>\n

* Note that the Epoch Converter generates results in milliseconds rather than microseconds. You must multiply the results by 1,000 to convert to microseconds, a requirement for the Multiplexer tool.<\/p>\n

…using an Excel formula<\/h2>\n

If you don’t want to do a batch conversion or your video is too long to fit into the batch converter, you can manually calculate the UNIX timestamp in your Excel document using a simple formula. This is great if you have video frames with distinct time stamps.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In your document, select a blank cell where you want to begin entering the UNIX timestamps.<\/li>\n
  2. Type the following formula and hit\u00a0Enter<\/strong>:
    \n=(A2-DATE(1970,1,1))*86400000000<\/li>\n
  3. Be sure to modify the formula for the cell location of your first timestamp and the date you typed in.<\/li>\n
  4. Then drag the autofill handle to the bottom of your range of timestamps or simply double-click the autofill handle to fill in the remaining values.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2309662,"id":2309662,"title":"PrecisionTimeStamp1","filename":"PrecisionTimeStamp1-1.png","filesize":29858,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp1-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/imagery\/video-multiplexer-tips-tricks\/precisiontimestamp1-2","alt":"Use an Excel formula to convert timestamps to UTC","author":"5991","description":"","caption":"Use an Excel formula to convert time stamps to UTC","name":"precisiontimestamp1-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":436912,"date":"2024-04-16 23:17:23","modified":"2024-04-16 23:18:36","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":519,"height":344,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp1-1-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp1-1.png","medium-width":394,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp1-1.png","medium_large-width":519,"medium_large-height":344,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp1-1.png","large-width":519,"large-height":344,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp1-1.png","1536x1536-width":519,"1536x1536-height":344,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp1-1.png","2048x2048-width":519,"2048x2048-height":344,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp1-1.png","card_image-width":519,"card_image-height":344,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp1-1.png","wide_image-width":519,"wide_image-height":344}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2309672,"id":2309672,"title":"PrecisionTimeStamp2","filename":"PrecisionTimeStamp2.png","filesize":37359,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp2.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/imagery\/video-multiplexer-tips-tricks\/precisiontimestamp2","alt":"Drag the autofill box down to automatically convert the remaining values","author":"5991","description":"","caption":"Drag the autofill box down to automatically convert the remaining values","name":"precisiontimestamp2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":436912,"date":"2024-04-16 23:25:58","modified":"2024-04-16 23:26:24","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":546,"height":363,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp2-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp2.png","medium-width":393,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp2.png","medium_large-width":546,"medium_large-height":363,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp2.png","large-width":546,"large-height":363,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp2.png","1536x1536-width":546,"1536x1536-height":363,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp2.png","2048x2048-width":546,"2048x2048-height":363,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp2.png","card_image-width":546,"card_image-height":363,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2019\/03\/PrecisionTimeStamp2.png","wide_image-width":546,"wide_image-height":363}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

    … using interpolation in Excel<\/h2>\n

    If you can’t use the Excel formula method because you have multiple frames with the same time stamp, you can use an interpolation method to get a smoother, slicker video output.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Create a new column in your document called “Precision Time stamp”.\u00a0 Use the Epoch Converter<\/a> to convert the first and last timestamps in your document, then paste these values into the new column next to their respective records (the first and last).<\/li>\n
    2. Subtract the first timestamp (smaller value) from the last timestamp (larger value) to get the timestamp range.<\/li>\n
    3. Divide the timestamp range by the total number of records minus 1. For example, if there are 1000 records, divide the timestamp range by 999. This is the timestamp increment. Paste this value in a blank cell in your document. As an example, let’s say you put it in cell C2.<\/li>\n
    4. In the Precision Time stamp column, click to select the second record in the column, which should be blank. Assuming your increment value is in cell C2, and your Precision Time stamp column is column B, type in the following formula for cell B3 (the blank cell):
      \n=B2+$C$2
