So I just got my first GoPro, and this would bring on the inevitable question, I would like to be able to do much more editing.  This is my first time doing editing at all, and I used the go pro studio.  Can the hive offer some suggestions?  

This was the first video I made, so go easy on me!  I was just messing around



And because I can't seem to fix the white box, regular link below

The last 3 minutes sucked.

Music is garbage as well.


Keep it up bro.

I only wanted that song for the first 8 seconds or so, but can't figure out how to cut in multiple audio clips

OP are you looking for a Windows or Mac solution?

Sign up on Lynda.com (no affiliate, yada yada) and take some courses on there. They are excellent and equal to what people paid big money for just a few years ago.

Thank you!  I have a Macbook Pro at the house I am currently using, so something that would work for it would be great.  I need something relatively easy to use until I get my feet wet with this stuff.  I am going to take the camera with my white water rafting this weekend so I should have some good video to edit when I get back.

SONY Vegas Movie works well.

In before youtube pulls your video or disables audio over music...enjoy.

download the Adobe Premier trial and see if you want to pay $10 a month for it. It's easy to use and has a lot of options for your videos.

I just use windows movie maker.



I thought Macs had good video editing software already on them?

Lightworks is free (one version), works great, and is easy. Download it and play around.

Just saw you have a Mac. Use iMovie. SIMPLE as hell.

Starting out, I'd recommend sticking with Gopro Studio.  When you outgrow it you will know, then start looking for other NLEs, I'd personally recommend Premiere Pro over just about anything Apple has released in the last couple versions.

Even though it is limited in some of the features, I use the windows movie maker for all my GoPro editing and making of movies with music, stills, graphs, etc..

It is every simple.
