GoPro video editing software

[Titatom]

Just wondering if anyone has tried to edit video footage taken with GoPro camera using Adobe Premiere Elements? Do you need to convert the video using the Cineform program first before sending it to the Premiere Elements program for further editing?
Thank you.

I haven't used Elements for editing but if Elements will accept your Raw camera footage and run smoothly then go for it.

I'd recommend going with Adobe Premiere Pro. It is very powerful and will take some learning (and $ at $699 or so), but it you'll be happy in the long run to be with one of the best SW packages out there.

How is that different than Adobe after effects?

Not to derail the thread, but what do people think of iMovie?

Premiere Pro is a video editing solution.

After Effects is a video compositing solution.

Adobe Premiere Pro is good stuff. Very powerful but a more advanced learning curve and pricey. Depending on you editing needs you may be able to settle on cheaper solutions which are a dime a dozen.

I use iMovie and it works just fine

Back to the OP's question...

Yes, I open GoPro video directly in Adobe Premiere Elements. Easy peasy.



All the best, James

I think the issue was that if you use Cineform first to do some color editing or whatever, then export that file from Cinefirm, the resultant file couldn't be brought into Premiere. At least that is what my experience was trying this earlier in the year.

But yes, directly opening the file and using only Premiere works.
