Video editing software
« on: March 26, 2014, 12:43:08 PM »
Any recommendations?  I got a GoPro last week and suction cupped it to the windshield of the RS.  Despite the vibration it worked very well.
In the past I have used Window Movie Maker.  The GoPro editor seems ok, but I am not used to its layout, also seems to do a lot of unnecessary conversion (kind of like this run on sentence).
Here's a short video I took of the tunnel north of Santa Barbara on US101.

Thanks.

Premiere Elements is inexpensive, easy to learn, and probably has everything you'll need.

Premiere pro is a great system, it's the new one for professionals, rapidly replacing final cut and making a dent in AVID. I used it to produce an educational video on vaccines, far easier than final cut, and much more responsive. For your uses, premiere elements is plenty.

Too many to count.
I've had my GoPro 3 Silver for a year and still looking for software that "I" like.
A lot depends on the model you have and the speed of your Micro SD card that you use.
The faster the SD card writes the smoother your video.
It also helps to have a fast PC with lots of RAMM to speed up the processing and keep from getting hard drive read/writes that slow everything down.
There is really good information at the GoPro Support site, also checkout YouTube for information videos and tips.
Also if you have a smart phone, get the GoPro App. You can control the cam, the setting, and view pictures and videos on it. The App also works on Android Tables.

Can't wait to see your results......
