There are some free options out there for both Mac and PC users, So let’s start with free. However, if it’s not working for you, then you can always explore some other options!

You probably won’t get software updates or anything like that, so if it works for you, then you can go ahead and use it.

It should work as it worked before (if you’ve used GoPro Studio and had it not work properly, then you know what I mean). If you already have it, it should still work fine, at least. I also need to mention that GoPro also has (or used to have) a video editing platform called GoPro Studio, but as of August 2017, they have discontinued making this software available for download. I went over the Quik app back in video #25 of this GoPro Series, but you should know that Quik is totally free and it’s kind of an all-in-one “hub” where you can import footage from your GoPro to your computer, update your camera’s firmware, and you can do some other stuff, including a little bit of editing… It’s very, very limited in its video editing capabilities. There is a Quik app for editing on your phone, and there’s a Quik app for Mac and PC as well. So first of all, GoPro has its own editing software, which you may have heard of, called Quik for Desktop. So, let’s talk about your GoPro editing software options! Quik I do have a page on my site dedicated to GoPro Software, where I lay out (almost) all video software options, but in this post, I want to talk about GoPro editing software for beginners. I prefer and strongly advise you to use a computer and some real software, especially if you’re new to editing GoPro videos. We ARE talking about VIDEO EDITORS ON COMPUTERS, and not on mobile phones or tablets.

I created it for GoPro newbies when the Hero5 Black came out, and it’s way better than a user manual! So what I’m going to talk about in this blog are the GoPro editing software options for your laptop or desktop computer.
