We have been shooting tons of video footage over the last few years, but it’s been wasting away on a hard drive, unseen and unedited. GoPro Studio is a quick and easy solution to the problem. We’ve gone through a few of our trips and used the GoPro Studio Templates to create short video reminders of the fun we’ve been having.
It’s a simple, three step process:
1. Go through video and photo clips and select the highlights you want to use. Set a in and out point and hit Convert Clip. It will be added to a queue. You can pull multiple highlights from the same clip or set the start and end point in a general area and make adjustments later. Once you’ve gone through all the footage and pulled out your favorite clips, you convert the whole queue at once.
You can use photo and video footage not taken with your GoPro in the program. If you have another camera used for vlogging on Youtube, a compact camera, or a DSLR, you can use that footage in the program as well.
2. Hit Templates and choose from a list of 4 preloaded templates or download 9 more options. They are templates for some of GoPro’s most popular videos so the options are awesome. Each video tells you how long the finished video will be and how many separate cuts go into it. Choose the one that best matches the amount of footage you have and the length you’d like. Once you’ve picked the template you want the editing process begins. The timeline is pre-populated with GoPro’s clips from the original video. Each of those clips has a bullseye on it, which means you can place one of your highlights onto that clip and replace it. Once it’s in there, you can drag the start point around within the clip, so you make sure the best part is included.
3. Once all of GoPro’s clips are replaced with yours, click Export. You’re now ready to upload it to wherever you want.
Here’s an example from our trip to St. Lucia. The entire video, from start to finish, took about 25 minutes.

It’s time we upgrade our GoPro to a newer version and I found an excellent review of the GoPro Hero 6 Camera. It’s on my wish list.

What a fortunate mini-jet-setter she is 😉 Don’t be surprised when she sets off on her own in about 17.2 years.. I’m sure you know that the travel bug is an inherited trait!

Yep, I think about it all the time. I’m going to have my hands full. It’s an addiction and I’m starting her young.

Hi Cheffie.. oops, it was meant to be funny and a rather clear reference to the movie, ie. Caps for a Title. Well, I hope that Lesley understood my joke (I’ve commented many times before on her blog, quite often in jest), and if not, thanks for alerting me to it… I’d never have fathomed that in reality Lesley – or other traveling parents – would leave Athena “home alone” 😉

Greetings to you healingpilgrim, I realize HOME ALONE was a movie (several sequels as well). Lesley knowing you probably felt you were speaking in jest; which I believe to be true. Hoping you are well and enjoy your day! Cheryl (Cheffie).

Oops forgot to ask, do you also use a GoPro camera and mount – to achieve all those arm-length clips?

We use the GoPro Hero 3+ and the XShot attachment for arm-length shots. Love them both. I could almost travel with just them and have all the footage I need.

Nice job! I have a Hero3, about 1 1/2 yrs old. All my vids seem to come out shaky, even after I’ve run them through GP Studio and YouTube software. Any ideas? With what resolution do you get best results? Thx.

This made me smile broadly and it was lovely to hear you voice and I wish I could hear more of you and your hubby speaking and having fun. Because I have made up my own version of your voice in my head. For me this was definately the best post of yours I have ever seen. You have become real Lesley. Sharing you vibrancy and energy – love and fun. By yourself and with your hubby. Beautiful!!!!! I’d like to see more… Come stay with me in England. 🙂

Thanks for all the info on the GoPro! I’m excited about it because we are purchasing a GoPro for our geek grandson for Christmas, & since I really can’t justify one for myself, I’m really excited for him. Oh wait, do I really need to justify something so fun? You made me realize I need my own GrPro also! Thank you for that.
