Learn how to transfer, organize, edit, and share GoPro footage. Find out how to use built-in GoPro trimming tools, transcode footage to formats optimized for editing, and more.
- Hi, my name's Rich Harrington, and in today's course we're gonna explore how to get footage off of a GoPro camera and get it ready to edit. Now, this process can be done several different ways. We're gonna explore built-in tools that are included with GoPro, such as GoPro Studio, which is a full-featured editing tool as well as a transcoding solution to optimize your media, and GoPro Quik, which is a consumer-friendly tool for quickly creating small projects that are ready to share. But besides using the software tools from GoPro, we'll also take a look at what you need to do in order to make footage compatible with systems like those from Apple, Avid, or Adobe.
I'll walk you through options like using the GoPro CineForm codec to ensure that the files are ready to edit using any popular, non-linear editing tool. Now, the actual act of editing can be a lot of fun. This is where you remove the content that's not needed and you actually put it together to tell a story or to get to just the good parts. In this course, we're really gonna explore three distinct workflows. First, we'll talk about getting all of the material off of the card and onto an edit-ready drive.
This'll include how to mount the camera, how to remove the memory card, and how to transfer it to a drive that's ready to edit from. Then, we'll explore how to actually import and convert your footage. This'll include basic conversions of just trimming away the unwanted parts of the clip and getting it in the right codec, as well as advanced conversions for doing things like removing wide-angle distortion or, if you shot in something like SuperView, reconforming the frame to a standard video size.
These geometric conversions are sometimes needed if you use some of the wider angle features available in a GoPro. And once we've got that done, we also take a look at working with time lapse sequence material. Time lapse is a great opportunity for shooting on the GoPro, and I'll show you how to assemble the files and turn them into finished videos. Beyond this, we'll talk about some of the different ways that you can edit. We'll edit with GoPro Studio and GoPro Quik, as well as talk about making sure that the files are ready to hand off if you're going to be editing video or working with a professional video editor.
All right, we've got a lot of ground to cover, so let's get started.
