How Long ?

[Mr fish]

hello one and all ....I'm having a nightmare with my gopro 3 and editing (but I am useless) and I've never done it before I'm trying to use imovies as an editor as when I use the go pro app it's limited ....it's seem to take ages to import for example a 13 minute clip is telling me 2 hours ...and question 2 how do I make the clip shorter before import (if possible) I can make it shorter on the go pro studio thingy but then can't seem to get it from there to imovies .....I'm probably just being a plonker but thought I would seek help before I send random files to random places

Cheers

Shouldn't take more than a few moments to drop it in to iMovie, I've dropped 30 minute 1080/30 files in to iMovie before (about 3.5GB), and off I went. See what settings you can get to, I deleted iMovie so I can't remember or check what's what in it.

As for making it shorter first, GoPro studio should allow you to export to a recognised file format, just look under share or export for MP4 or MOV.

There's a whole bunch of variables which can cause issues. What imovie are you working on? How much RAM do you have available and how many applications are opened simultaneously?

 

[Mr fish]

Cheers for the replies ....I may just have worked it out ...(with help from my daughter ) I've made a short clip with fades and writing etc and music ( which is not allowed without paying I suppose) ..... I need to work on intro and outro , name etc oh and a new YouTube channel ... But before that I may put a snippet on here to get reaction ...good or bad ....I will get there fingers crossed

How do you mean? Not paying for fades? You've lost me!

 

[Mr fish]

The music .. Not the fades

On your YT channel, click on Video Manager at the top, the click on CREATE at lower left, then click on Ad-Supported Music. There's a full list of music you can search on and use in you videos. Just follow the terms and conditions.

Thanks for the advice I will look into it ...or I might make some of my own on logic

 

[Mr fish]

Right it's finalizing on imovies as I type this ....so can I get it on here before I set up my you tube channel ? ...for feed back etc it's only short and has a mish mash texts (experimenting) and has no voice (no mic yet) ....

The name I'm going for is
