| 1 | Hi All, I am hopeful that some guru who uploads footage to YouTube all the time can help. TIA addj4 - 2021-01-11 20:31:00 |
| 2 | Ignore uploading it to the phone entirely. GoPro -> Laptop -> edit using your chosen software -> YouTube. sw20 - 2021-01-11 20:51:00 |
| 3 | You can download editing software from GoPro, see: Or as above, any other editor. gyrogearloose - 2021-01-11 21:03:00 |

How would I get the footage from the GoPro (footage on SD Card) to the laptop? addj4 - 2021-01-11 21:17:00 |

Surely it has something like mini usb to usb to transfer data? sw20 - 2021-01-11 21:21:00 |

Looks like I will need to buy a Micro SD to USB adaptor? addj4 - 2021-01-11 21:28:00 |

Would the charge cable that I charge the GoPro with be able to be used by plugging into the USB on the laptop? addj4 - 2021-01-11 21:30:00 |
| 9 | Yeah just a SD card reader that you plug into USB would be the easiest. sw20 - 2021-01-11 21:32:00 |

Ok, did that and it transferred all the video across to the laptop. Only problem is that when I play the video it glitches and skips etc right through.

| 13 | How many minutes is the video ? nice_lady - 2021-01-13 10:01:00 |
| 14 | No, it shouldn't be, computers have been able to play 1080p video for almost 20 years. It will be a software issue if it won't play it properly. tygertung - 2021-01-13 10:04:00 |
| 15 | Yeah, it's not as simple as that. I have seen Go Pro footage skip on playback using a desktop i7 6700k CPU, so it would not surprise me to see skipping on an A8-7410, which performs nowhere near how a desktop i7 could. cube_guy - 2021-01-13 10:28:00 |

| 17 | What player program are you using to play it on the laptop? muppet_slayer - 2021-01-13 20:56:00 |
| 18 | Found this. Might help... https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/p/gopro-player/9mw2bvrcg0b2? Notice the requirements to use the gopro player is quite high. Edited by muppet_slayer at 9:11 pm, Wed 13 Jan muppet_slayer - 2021-01-13 21:09:00 |

| 20 | A 5min video @3GB is very high quality. Hmmmm.... Then again if I've calculated the correctly Not that high as pictures go Edited by nice_lady at 8:55 am, Thu 14 Jan nice_lady - 2021-01-14 08:51:00 |
| 21 | I calculated it at 16 mb a second, so that is a fairly high data rate for the HD to read, would need a bit of buffering. Maybe my calculation is wrong. tygertung - 2021-01-14 10:02:00 |
| 22 | Depends on the hdd. A mechanical drive runs at about 80MB/s, but there can be other choke points of course. nice_lady - 2021-01-14 10:24:00 |
| 23 | When I bought my first GoPro in 2013 it only took a day to realise that if I came back from the surf with 100 videos than it would take me 2-3 days of work to edit these to make one 3-minute YouTube video. But I wanted to go to the beach every day. Using the software I had, the workflow was too slow, and as you noted the computer glitched and skipped. The software that GoPro provide free actually plays well (post #3) but I didn't like it, so started writing my own editor in C#. The functionality I wanted was to be able to come home with full SD cards from any kind of camera, pour it in the front end and walk away to do something else, come back later and have it all ready to edit using smaller proxies with time and frame stamps. And once I've specified the edits using the proxies, press go and walk away while it churns through the original videos and makes my video. And then, if I want to make a change (like an extra second, or an extra video frame) I just change the edit instructions and press go again. Forums said you couldn't make frame-accurate edits in MP4 files, but I disagree. I've learnt a lot about parallel processing in background tasks, I'm using a 12-thread i7 and it can be absolutely pegged at 100%, and yet at the same time in the foreground YouTube will play perfectly, no indication the processor is busy aside from the fan running.

I have seen that, isnt that only for GoPro Max? addj4 - 2021-01-14 11:14:00 |
| 25 | If you have a GoPro - why not use the official GoPro app - just pair your camera to the phone to easily transfer clips... then edit, export and upload! The GoPro app is actually quite good in my opinion... take the time to figure out how it works. It is very good at creating some fast moving highlight reel type wee videos. Your ability to select "highlights" (small sections of a clip) to feature is done well. Very easy to trim clips, duplicate or split etc. And... you don't have to use it's highlight system. You can have complete manual control of each clip you've shot... you can shorten them, make them slower and faster, select whether audio is used or not etc... and you can add filters to change things like brightness etc. It has a fantastic range of transitions too to boost your creativity... and you can create titles and add text to clips if you need to. Having spent many thousand hours on desktop editing softwares I find it way more powerful than people give it credit for. In addition - you have access to some very very good music which of course will not give you any copyright strikes on Youtube... and that alone is a huge benefit. Once you've created your video - you just export it to your phone's camera roll and from there upload to youtube. DISCLAIMER: I create my GoPro videos generally with a specific high energy video - shortish with constant changes of clips to hold interest... I film in short bursts of interesting pans and shots and string them all together to tell a story. In summary, I would advise that you learn the GoPro app to create a video... once done, so easy to export for upload! Hope that helps... thebuzzyone - 2021-01-17 18:59:00 |

Thanks very much for the detailed explanation. I am new to posting on Youtube. I did hear that GoPro had stopped their editing program? I will have a look again. addj4 - 2021-01-17 19:22:00 |
| 27 | I could do a long post on this, but while GoPro hardware is good, the desktop software is really bad. I have 128GB SD Card which fills up quickly with 4k footage. Trying to edit on my phone using the app seemed clunky. They had some buggy and outdated but working software called GoPro Studio which they abandoned and replaced with Quik. It had some nice features.. but so buggy that I ended up complaining at length to GoPro support. Then they abandoned that software as well. Last time I checked they were working on some replacement but otherwise had no functioning PC software. I find it shocking that a large company like this can't even provide any working editing software. gblack - 2021-01-18 06:50:00 |
