Hey,

 

You can do all the basic editing on the software already available on your PC (Windows Movie Maker or iMovie) or if you would like to do more professional editing then you can purchase a program like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premier.

 

Here at Action Cameras we do our editing on Windows Movie Maker and learnt to use it by watching a few tutorials on YouTube. It really does allow you to do all the stuff you'll probably want to do with your video.

 

One thing to keep in mind is that you will need a fairly new computer to do any editing on, preferably with a minimum of 2Gbs of ram available for speedy playback and editing of videos - especially the HD videos produced by your GoPro.

 

Good luck!

Yup, Windows Movie Maker works pretty well. Just make sure you do an upgrade to the latest version.

I battled with slow motion and fast forwarding for a fair while ... until I upgraded to the latest version, problems solved.

 

There are also some nice tutorials on www.vimeo.com and the quality of uploads is better there than on youtube.

slight hi-jack...

 

what resolution recording setting do you guys used mostly???

 

full 1080 with a 16gig class 10 card your battery runs out just as you run out of storage. Then once i edit them i make hi def ones for the library, and compressed to crap ones for the youtube.

I prefer to use 720p at 60fps so it is smoother with less chance of "jello-wobble"

It all depends on the quality of your SD card mate, if you buy a cheapy class 4 then tune your resolution down, if you buy class 10 or above you wont have any issues whatsoever.

I actually read on mtbr forum that the 10 isnt the way to go, for some or other tech reason, but hey... Also if the gopro can only save 30fps on 1080 res, what good does the 10 do or am I missing something. Most forums echo what patches and flowta says...720 @ 60fps seems to be the butter zone. Also it seems a 10 SD card is good if you do burst photos @ .5 seconds. Thanks for the input sofar.

Yeah your missing loads,,,,,, the human eye cannot process more than 25fps so there is no need to ever go higher than 30 :D
