Process geotagged photos and video in ArcGIS Pro. Create mapped video routes, extract georeferenced photos, match media with GPS tracks, and turn recorded observations into GIS features.
Process one collection or build a repeatable workflow for the next.
Use the tools on their own, or chain them in ModelBuilder and scripts.
The tools behind each task.
Put video on the map
Create route features that connect recorded video to its geographic path.
Tool details
Geotagged Videos to Polylines creates route features using GPS information. Prepare the map context your team needs to find and review recordings.
Match video with GPS
Align video recordings with GPS tracks collected separately.
Tool details
Extract the relevant GPX track segment by start and end time, start time and duration, or video time. GPS Source to GPX helps prepare GPS sources for the workflow.
Extract photos from video
Extract georeferenced images at selected time or distance intervals.
Tool details
Geotagged Video to Photos turns a recording into a collection of located images for photo review and downstream GIS work.
Process video within ArcGIS Pro
Split videos, remove or extract audio, reduce voices, and rotate 360° footage without working directly with command-line video utilities.
Tool details
Handle video and audio preparation as part of your ArcGIS Pro workflow. When field recordings include unwanted speech or inappropriate language, reduce voices or remove the audio track during post-processing so useful visual footage can still be retained.
Turn spoken observations into features
Convert recorded field observations into mapped point features.
Tool details
Transcribe Audio to Points processes recorded audio and GPS information into point features. Configure trigger phrases to identify observations for later review.
Automate recurring processing
Build repeatable ArcGIS Pro workflows with ModelBuilder or scripts to process new media consistently.
Tool details
Run tools in batch, connect processing steps in ModelBuilder, or use scripts to automate repeated work. Build a process around your collection and delivery requirements.
The ArcGIS Pro toolkit for field media
Use the tools individually. Combine them into workflows.
Geotagged Media Tools is a collection of ArcGIS Pro tools for preparing field photos, video, GPS data, and recorded observations for use in ArcGIS.
Video→Mapped routes
Video→Georeferenced photos
GPS tracks→Aligned media
Spoken observations→Map points
Recurring steps→Automated workflows
Automate your field media workflow
Automate the journey from camera to ArcGIS.
Build the workflow once. Use it for the next collection. Prepare newly captured video for geographic review without manually processing every file, using Geotagged Media Tools within a processing and publishing workflow.
Prepare the recording
Transcode video for streaming, adjust 360° orientation, and align recordings with GPS information, including external GPS data.
Connect it to the map
Create route features from GPS tracks and associate recordings with their geographic locations.
Publish for review
Upload processed video for access through Vidgeo.

Say what you see. Review it on the map. Recorded field observations can be transcribed and associated with geographic locations to create mapped point features.

Choose the tools that fit your workflow
Prepare it. Map it. Review it.
Geotagged Media Tools turns media into geographic data. Use the results in your GIS workflow, or choose a viewer for photos or video.
Geotagged Media Tools
Prepare field media and create geographic data in ArcGIS Pro.
Open the results in the viewer that fits your media
Connect media processing and review through familiar feature layers, attributes, and hosting.
Work with familiar GIS data
Use point and polyline feature layers to connect media, locations, and observations.
Keep your existing media storage
Connect your GIS workflows to web, cloud, or intranet-hosted media.
Fit your existing ArcGIS environment
Use Geotagged Media Tools in ArcGIS Pro and connect the resulting GIS data to Experience Builder workflows and your existing ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise infrastructure.
Yes. Use tools individually or incorporate them into batch-processing workflows using ArcGIS Pro ModelBuilder or scripts.
What if the GPS track was recorded separately?
Geotagged Media Tools can align video recordings with separately collected GPS information. Use GPX extraction tools to select the track segment corresponding to your recording.
Is transcription live?
Transcribe Audio to Points is a post-processing workflow. It uses recorded audio and GPS information to create point features, with configurable trigger phrases.
Do we need Vidgeo or Site Viewer 360?
No. Geotagged Media Tools can be used independently to prepare media and GIS data in ArcGIS Pro. Vidgeo and Site Viewer 360 provide additional ways to review the resulting video and imagery in Experience Builder.
