Although the preferred way to contribute to Mapillary is to upload geotagged images, it is also possible to upload videos to Mapillary. In that case, the video will be turned into images during the process. This is useful for situations when you are capturing for more than Mapillary purposes—like when you are using a dashcam and want to upload dashcam videos.
You can use our Desktop Uploader and command line tools to upload videos. The Desktop Uploader currently supports only video files captured with the Mapillary Dashcam. The command line tools support more video types, including some video formats with embedded GPS as well as if you have an mp4 video and a separate .gpx file (see the documentation for command line tools for more details).

What is maximum supported video resolution and recommended framerate?
4Gb file size limit seems to be slightly too little compared to how Sony action cameras split videos as 4GB parts. Would it be possible to raise the limit?
Hi Jukka! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this!
The 4GB `web upload` limit is a function of computer hardware: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ieinternals/2011/03/10/file-upload-and-download-limits/
We actually do support these larger formats through our command line tools if this is something that you'd like to familiarize yourself with.
On the same note, I wanted to take the opportunity to vote for, if possible, taking sequences of images rather than video. When you upload videos to Mapillary we extract frames from the video, which affects the image resolution more or less depending on the camera.
Let us know if you have any more questions!
