Go Pro

[andy2]

Hi i recently got a Go pro hero 3 from misses clause just wondering what editing software people use as ive taken a couple of clips but they play back a bit choppy/jumpy but are fine when playing on youtube unedited or do i just need to get a new/decent laptop

If the videos are choppy at all qualities then it's not your computers fault. It's possibly choppy because the setting is at a low frame rate.

Ive always used Sony Vegas Pro, done a bit on youtube and its definitely one of the best editing software out there (y)

its set to the 960 and at 30 frames per second as that what manual says for high action recordings i didnt know if its beacuse my laptops pretty full of pictures and music but i put it on my girlfriends laptop which is the same and it played fine as she has hardley anything on it.

30fps it shouldnt be jumpy, might be the size of the file on your computer vs current running programs. I bought a new comp a couple of years ago because of this.

 

Software wise a lot see to use either sony, windows movie maker or i movie.

 

I personally use final cut pro 10 but then again i use it 2-3 times a month on other projects so its worth the investment for me.

 

Dont assume the software min spec relates to the file size of the recording.

the clips are only about 10 to 20 seconds long but i didnt know if its worth getting an external hardrive so then i can empty the one on my laptop will make it run quicker ? but im a noob to computer terms all i know how to do is update my fb status haa

[AlexJones]

A way to improve it slightly would be to render the video to a different hard drive than the one your editing software is saved on, if your computer only has one hard drive then you could try recording to an external drive.

Hope this helps!

If your computer is a bit old (as mine is) download flv player (free) to smooth out stuttering when watching clips straight off the memory card.

 

There's an easy to use, free bit of editing software on the gopro website which does the job I think.

I have a mac so I use iMovie that was already installed.

It's extremely easy to use (although I struggle cos I'm a tech retard!)

There is an issue with playing back un rendered Hd gopro footage on older pc's. They look jumpy and glitchy but it's only the PC not buffering the file fast enough. When you edit them down to an AVI or MPEG etc they are fine
