Zijn hier mensen die bezig zijn met editen van filmpjes? Ik heb reeds final cut pro gedownload omdat ik op imovie 09 een beetje uitgekeken was. Nu begrijp ik nog geen ster van final cut pro, het begint al met het invoegen van mijn gopro HDbestandjes. Ik krijg al meteen een error. Gaat dit me heel veel tijd kosten om onder te knie te krijgen? Heeft iemand tips voor me?

Ok, here we go. I will try to make this as easy as i can! :D
Formats:
Most cameras today record HD material in a viewing/distribution friendly format. Its great to watch on tv, computer etc, but not to edit. If you try to play heavy full def material, the computer will choke. I will not talk about editing this material since its even worse. What we need to do to be able to work with the material is to convert this material to an edit friendly format.
The mostly used format for editing on Mac is Apple Prores 422, but Apple Intermediate Codec also works good. If you dont see the Apple Prores 422 codec on your mac, its because of you not having Final Cut Pro installed, and if you use the express version, you most probably only have the intermediate codec. What we need to do now is convert the footage.
To do that, you can go to squared5.com, download a program called MPEG STREAMCLIP and install that program.
Run the program and either drag a clip from your video clip folder to the main window of streamclip, or open a clip from the file menu. You should now see your video file in the mail window. Now you can play and press "i" to chose IN POINT or "o" to chose OUT POINT. Thats what start and end points of the video you want to convert. When you are done, chose export. Under the options tab, chose the following settings:
Codec: Apple Prores 422 or 422 (LT) Unless you want super quality (HUGE)
(if someone wants to know, i can go through this more)
QUality: 100%
Res: well, whatever you want. I dont suggest you should upscale tho....
Uncheck the "interlaced scaling" check box.
You can also flip clips and crop clips here, but i will not go through that now....
If you want to, you can batch convert loads of clips by chosing "Batch List" under the list menu option.
Import the material into Premiere or final cut pro. Remember, Final Cut Pro is SUPER picky on formats. For instance, if your music is in MP3 format, you also have to convert that to wav or AIFF to hear it.
Btw, the unconverted files are 100% importable to premiere pro. You dont have to convert them or anything. Just drag them in there and start editing. It WILL however be easier to edit the converted clips, even tho premiere works with the files pretty good even though their not converted.
Also, i think its unfair to blame gopro for this. Someone said in this thread that it was bad of them to do this. Its not their fault, its the codecs that are too heavy to work with. So this is the exact same thing you would have to do with a canon eos 5d, 7d, t2i or whatever. GoPro cant do anything about this unless they start shipping out super duper computers to people to handle the cpu heavy files OR create their own codecs which i believe would upset more people when it comes to compatabillity....
If you want to work with timelapses, please check out the mac software called: "Time Lapse Assembler". Its a free software that is pretty good and easy to work with.
Hope all this helps.. if you have any questions, check out my youtube channel where i have loads of gopro related material such as tips, tricks and stuff about workflow but also gopro films. You can also send me questions there or friend me here..... youtube.com/ryanshitlipz
