2. Create the data folder

Go2Kin stores all projects, sessions and trial videos under a single data root folder.

Lots of data

Multi-camera video accumulates fast. Put the data root on a drive with plenty of free space (ideally an SSD), and avoid a small system (C:) drive.

🚧 TODO: rough storage figures — GB per minute of 4-camera recording at common Resolution/FPS settings — and a recommended minimum free space.

1. Create a folder on a large drive, e.g. D:/Markerless_Projects.

2. Copy the config template and set the data root:

   cp go2kin_config_template.json go2kin_config.json
   

   Edit go2kin_config.json and set data_root to your folder.

3. Leave last_project and last_session empty — these are managed by the app.

If you skip this step, Go2Kin will prompt you to select a data root folder on first launch.

See Data organisation for what ends up inside this folder.

🚧 TODO: backup / archiving policy for the data root.
