PalleNygren 0 #1 July 9, 2016 Looking for PC software to trim GoPro footage. The smaller and simpler the better. I used to use Mpeg Streamclip for doing quick and simple trimming of GoPro footage (trimming away stuff at the beginning and at the ned), but am looking for an alternative since Streamclip requires that bug ridden Quicktime. Suggestions anyone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowlerk 1,902 #2 July 10, 2016 Quotehttps://gopro.com/support/articles/gopro-studio-available-now I found it pretty simple. And free.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PalleNygren 0 #3 July 10, 2016 GoPro Studio does a conversion of the media files and doesn't let you edit the original, which I'm after. /Patrik Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Divalent 89 #5 July 11, 2016 An excellent free software program for this is "Format Factory", at least for personal use. It will allow you to trim front and back, change video resolution, and output to just about any video format known to man. I don't know how it might fare in a working environment, so YMMV. http://www.pcfreetime.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlanS 1 #6 July 11, 2016 I've not owned a PC in a while. If you ever get a Mac... I'd go with the following. GoPro Studio, iMovie, and ImageMagick (fir file type conversions). All are free-ish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PalleNygren 0 #7 July 12, 2016 Thanks! It was a bit slower than StremClip but not too bad and has a lot of other interesting features. Will go with this one for trimming! /P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PalleNygren 0 #9 July 14, 2016 That sucks, because you have to play the video at normal speed and "record" the bit you want to keep. Not exactly quick nor simple... /P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pchapman 261 #10 July 18, 2016 Although I use avidemux sometimes, but I personally find the interface clunky. I've been using "Free Video Editor by DVDVideoSoft" v 1.4.4. That freeware has a nice clean editing interface to clip out any sections one wants. I have seen good things about it on the web, eg at Videohelp. Real trimming with instant saves, without having to render / re-encode or whatever. Works great with GoPro footage although it choked on Sony CX series .mts files. (Which avidemux handled) Caveats for the DVDVideoSoft product: - be careful when installing to not miss the options to avoid installing bundled crapware! Don't click through too quickly. - I've also seen some comments online (eg at Download.com) saying that the newest versions don't work as well and have some very hard to remove crapware that one can't avoid. So it may be more of a pain than it is worth. But if you can dig up an old version it can be nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
