GoPro HD2

[DrewB]

so ive finally got around to ordering it so should have it real soon along with the iphone controls (apparently).One thing i didn't like about the gopro was that you didn't know if you were filming 'til you checked later, this should hopefully of solved it. My question is which editing software works the best (apart from imovie which i don't like) on mac? its probably been asked a million times before but as tech moves so quick i thought id ask again. So Mr Flatters, i await your answer/help

Just remember to switch it off before you answer the call nature. Especially if you're gonna playback unedited stuff to an audience.

Hey Drew,

 

I use the LCD back so i can review my footage if i want. To be honest i use the LCD back to line the camera angle up then ignore it for the whole filming episode. On the plus side the Hero2 has a louder beep sound so you know when your filming 1 beep and when you stop that section of footage 3 beeps.

 

Anyway the best software i have found and by a long way is

 

Final Cut Pro 10 for editing. Cutting and balding is really easy, idiot proof hence why i can us it.

 

I use compressor 4 to make the files smaller but still 720p HD because i hate waiting hours for footage to upload.

 

Im learning how to use Motion 5 which allows me to create my own graphics and transitions.

 

Although i am hopefully getting my hands on the WiFi controller soon too

I thought final cut, cheers Ian. Let the projects begin:)
