What software is everyone using to edit their helmet cam footage? Especially interested to hear from GoPro Hero 4 users and people with macs.
I've been using iMovie (10.0.9) but struggling to get the results I want.
I watched this
and this
and just thought, my footage isn't half as sharp and clear as that - yeah I know, NYC sunlight versus Scottish winter cloud cover etc - so I shot a lot of footage today on the 4k setting but realise now that the max res for an iMovie export is 1080 so not much point shooting at 4k.
Another problem I'm having with iMovie is that playback in iMovie is very choppy. Both for clips I've shot at 1080 and at 4k.
My machine is a late 2008 iMac with 4gb ram, Apple says this is the max I can fit but there seems to be some reports of being able to fit 6gb. Anyone know if the extra 2gb is worth it or am I just asking too much of an aging machine?
I tried GoPro studio when I got my camera at first but the GoPro Studio Importer thing drove me crazy, that said, the iMovie library thing isn't great either, I'd really rather be able to see my clips than have them hidden away and only accessible through iMovie.
I guess I need to be realistic and realise that given my end result is generally going to be upload to youtube, I don't really need super duper quality.
