Geotagged Media Tools

Turn field media
into GIS data.

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.

Geotagged Media Tools / ArcGIS Pro

Spend less time preparing media.

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.

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.

Transcribe Audio to Points

Turn spoken observations
into map features.

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.

Built around your GIS

Fits your existing GIS workflow.

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.

Plan your workflow

Start with your media
and location data.

Can we process many files?

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.
