 A lot of people are buying these GoPro cameras and have a lot of fun recording video, but they get home and they've got all this content and they don't know how to use Final Cut and iMovies annoying as all get out. Luckily the people at GoPro have a solution to this and I'm with Craig Davidson who's going to tell us about GoPro Studio. Okay yeah, we've developed GoPro Studio to address some of the issues that people with GoPro cameras have. Primarily people record, a lot of times they just turn the camera on and just let it record forever. So you end up with clips that are hours long. Nobody wants to watch that. Nobody wants to watch that. You have a couple of minutes in there that you want to find. Oh I'm going to interrupt you with one other thing I want to make sure people know up front. This is for Mac Windows and it's a grand price of free. So now I've got your interest. Okay yeah it is free and it's available on the website. Anybody can download it and play with it. And when you first start you start in step one. Interestingly enough which is view and trim. You bring your GoPro footage into here and it all appears in a bin on the left and you can import from GoPro. You can import either MP4s or JPEGs. And if you did a time lapse it'll turn the JPEG sequence into a time lapse video for you automatically. Oh nice. The new Hero 4 has a new feature which is highlight tag and you can tag video either with a remote with the iPhone app or by pressing a button on the side of the camera and then it inserts a tag into the video. And in view and trim we actually show the clips that have tags and we'll show a tag on the timeline so you can say oh that's the interesting point I'll look there first. So for that two hour mountain bike down Haleakala then you can find the one spot where you crashed it was interesting. That's correct. Or you're on the racetrack in that 20 minute session you get to part where someone hits you. Okay so view and trim is pretty much what you said you can scrub through it, you can trim it and then what do you do next? Okay then you set it in an out point. You can rotate the image and do a couple of other advanced settings such as change speed. The rotate image is good for when you've mounted it upside down on your dog. Correct either upside down on your dog or I've mounted upside down on my bike. Just hanging it from the hand. So it doesn't have to be a dog good to know. Right that's right. So if you've mounted upside down and didn't flip it in the camera you can flip it here. And then once you've done the trim it will create an intermediate file which then you use in the edit room. The edit room has a similar setup you have. So this bin on the left is not the same bin these are the ones that have been edited? These are the ones that have been trimmed. These are the trimmed. And this is actually a media bin for your edit. You have video, you can have titles and you can also pull in music from your iTunes folder. You know if you want to put music on your video. We have what looks to be more of a traditional timeline. You call it a storyboard down here at the bottom? That's correct. We call it a storyboard. It looks like a timeline. But the difference is that the each time you drag clip down there it takes the same amount of space on the storyboard. And it just changes the speed in which it plays. So if you have a long clip it'll play slowly through the thumbnail. If you have a short clip it plays pretty quickly. I see why you don't call it a timeline now. I got it, I got you. It's speeding up there. And the editor actually has some couple really nice features. In addition to the normal adjusting the view, adjusting the speed, it doesn't really depend. You don't have to set the resolution of your timeline or of your movie when you start editing. So if you bring in two different clips from two different resolutions, what happens? It will actually set the timeline resolution to the most common by time, the most common resolution. So if I've got a whole bunch of clips that are 4K and then one clip that's 1080p, it'll do what to the 1080p? It'll scale up the 1080p to 4K. And vice versa, right? Yeah, and vice versa. If you have a lot of 1080p and you're bringing a 4K it will scale that down. That's really cool. It does that intelligently. Yeah, and it does that intelligently so you don't have to worry about it. And then when you export you can decide to export it 4K or 1080 or whatever. It will actually tell you the maximum for your timeline. It also has a speed change ability. And in this clip here, we have a snowboard are going over the edge of a pipe. And so we've stopped right as the snowboard's at the top of the pipe. We split the clip and then go over to where it's coming back down, split the clip again, and then take the middle clip and we can change the speed and it can slow down the speed. So you can actively make slow-mo video right in the middle of the clip? That's correct. So you make a slow-mo video and then as it plays, when you're in the editor viewing it it just plays the frame slower. So it's a little bit, it stutters, stutters a little bit. But when you export it it uses a feature we call flux to generate the frames in between. So you get a nice smooth slow motion of it. I think you can do that in Final Cut, can you? Steve's shaking his head, so it's not easily. Not easily, that usually takes a plug-in to do that. But we built it in here because that slow motion effect is one of the things people really like about GoPro videos. That is really, really slick. I'm watching you do this and this looks completely intuitive to me. Yeah, we hoped it is. We spent some time designing it. We're always working on things to try to make it easier to use. So, go ahead. We also have these presets. So what we can do with presets we can actually change the color very easily. There's like filters I can Instagram kind of thing. Correct, yeah, like Instagram filters. Yeah, I hate those. These kids today, they like them. Yeah, they like them. But there are a number of them so day for night and 1970s look so your film's all old. And you can also create your own if you want. Oh cool. Also, on the right hand side, he's got things where he can change the white balance temperature tint, exposure, contrast, saturation, sharpness, keyframes, whole lot of other controls there. This is really, really slick. I still can't believe this is free. I mean, you're sure it's free. Yep, it is free. There's no trick. Now the final step is export. Anything interesting on step three? With an export you have a number of choices. For instance, if you've actually done a speed change that's where it gives you the option to apply flux, to smooth it out. So the flux capacitor you do that, right? The flux capacitor is speed changing. It does take a lot of CPU and so it takes a lot of time to export with flux so we warn you. It's doing a lot of math. It's interpolating between the frames, right? That's correct. Give it a minute. Yeah, yeah. So there are just some presets for the modes and you can always do a custom mode. The custom mode you can choose between H.264 or the GoPro Cineform codec frame rate quality. Wow, Craig, this is fantastic. I especially appreciate the fact that Craig actually did this entire interview twice. I want to thank you for your time. This is fantastic. Where does somebody find this? Okay, the software is found on the GoPro website under products software. Alright, fantastic. And what was it called again? It's called GoPro Studio. Alright, thanks again, Craig. Okay, thank you.
