A great thing about GoPro Studio is that there are many of different ways you can use the application. One of these workflows is to use it as a third-party application. Author Richard Harrington demonstrates how you can use GoPro Studio in conjunction with another non-linear editor (NLE) that you might be using like Adobe Premiere Pro.
- While you can use GoPro Studio as a standalone piece of software, chances are you might already have a video editing tool. Maybe you've been dabbling with something like Final Cut Pro X or Premiere Pro. Or perhaps you use editing software all the time, and it's a regular part of your workflow. Well, GoPro Studio is still a useful piece of software that's available for free. It's gonna allow you to bring in media clips and trim them down. A lot of times when shooting on a GoPro, the camera rolls for a very long time. Maybe it's left unattended and you're getting shots that need to be trimmed.
Or maybe it's in the hands of an athlete or a consumer, and they're capturing footage at an event. Well, chances are the shot ratio of good material to what was captured is gonna be pretty low, and you may not want to put all of that material into your editing projects. It's gonna consume disk space. Fortunately, you can load clips into GoPro Studio and easily mark in and out points, trimming them to just the good parts of the media. While you're there, you can also do things like remove any wide-angle distortion to get a clip to look better, and you can even optimize that media and transcode it to the GoPro CineForm codec.
This GoPro CineForm codec is cross-platform, working on both Macs and PCs, and offers data rates and quality that's very similar to things like Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD. This codec is free, and anybody working in your post-production pipeline can actually download GoPro Studio and it will install the GoPro CineForm codec. If you're using Premiere Pro, well, this codec is already built in and, in fact, is the native one that Premiere Pro favors, as it is a cross-platform codec.
This used to go by the name of just CineForm, but it is now owned by GoPro and is a very powerful tool. So feel free to download GoPro Studio, even if you don't intend to edit with it, and as you'll see shortly, it's a great tool for trimming and optimizing media to use in an additional application as well.
