In fact, GoPro Studio is a free software makes it easier than ever to create professional-quality videos with your GoPro content. While, it’s still not a solid software for us to handle GoPro video clips. In this case, what you need is a GoPro Studio alternative that works on Windows or Mac.

I found iFastime Video Converter Ultimate is just suitable to your needs, which is an all-in-one video converter and editor. This video app is an all-in-one editor and even video player. With its built-in editing feature, it allows you to trim clips, crop videos, add effects, insert subtitles, etc as GoPro Studio does. What's more, this video app is also professionalized in converting videos in all formats, including GoPro (4K) MP4, MTS, MXF, AVI, MKV, FLV, MPG format and make them best compatible with YouTubeVimeoFinal Cut Pro, Galaxy Tab and more video sharing websites, professional editing programs and portable media devices. And and downsize 4K videos to 1080p with high quality kept and more. Overall, you can effortlessly find this program can be seen as the best GoPro Studio alternative and is even much better than it.

If you are running on Mac, iFastime Video Converter Ultimate for Mac is right for you.

How to use GoPro Studio Alternative to convert/edit videos

Step 1. Import video files

Launch the video converter first. To import the local videos you want, you can click the "Add video" button. A pop-up window will lead you to locate your local files. Or you can directly drag the videos you want to this program. Batch conversion is supported.



Step 2. Select output format you want 

Click the "Format" icon, and then find the video format you want. As you can see, various video formats like MOV, MKV, FLV, WMV, AVI, etc. are provided. You can also choose the icon of iPhone, iPad, iPod, Final Cut Pro, Samsung, Android, etc. to get videos with best settings for the selected device/software.



Tip: If you want to customize the output video quality, you can click the "Settings" button to open the Settings window and set video resolution, frame rate, bit rate, codec, etc.



Step 3. Edit videos files you own

Far more than a video conversion program, it provides some video editing functions: trim video into smaller segments; remove unwanted objects from video; brand your video by embedding a watermark; importing subtitle files in .srt or .sst format to video files.

  • Trim: You can use the “Trim” function to remove the unwanted segments by deciding where to start and where to end when converting the selected clip.
  • Crop: With the “Crop” function, you can remove the black edges around the image.
  • Text Watermark: Check “Enable”, you can add your desired text watermark to the selected video, you can also drag the text watermark on the preview screen to adjust its position, or set text font, color, size and style.
  • Image/Video Watermark: Tick off “Enable”, you can apply image or video watermark to the selected video. The location for the image/video watermark can also be set by dragging on the preview screen.
  • Effect: From effect drop-down option, you can select special effects like: Simple Gauss Blur, Flip Color, Invert, Aged Film to apply to your source video. In Color Control section, you can change color by adjusting brightness, contrast, saturation. You can also check “Deinterlacing” to keep good image quality.
  • Audio Editor: You can remove the original audio from video or replace the original video with another audio, you can also set audio fade in or fade out effects.
  • Subtitle: Check “Enable”, you can add *.srt or *.ass/*.ssa subtitle files to the video as hard subtitles.

You can now use your converted video files anywhere you want them. Wish the best alternative to GoPro Studio help you truly.

Additional Tips:

If you got some GoPro MP4 videos and you want to edit with a more professional option, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro are all the good choices. While, as we know these NLEs are not able to ingest GoPro videos in H.264 codec. In this case, the recommended GoPro Studio Alternative can be used to transcode GoPro videos to Adobe PP/FCP/iMovie compatible format.

How to open MXF in Sony Vegas Pro

Sony Vegas Pro is a professional image editing software, which now upgrade to Vegas Movie Studio. It is a professional, implified and efficient version. Many people will have issues while editing Canon, JVC, Panasonic, Sony, BlackMagic, Ikegami .mxf video files in Sony Vegas Pro. We know MXF (Material eXchange Format) is a container format for professional digital video and audio media defined by a set of SMPTE standards, why that happens. Look below to make it clear.  

First we need to know the Sony Vegas Pro supported formats, although Sony claims Vegas Pro can work with MXF format. Here is the list of Sony Vegas supported input formats:

MOV, WMV, H.264, AA3, AAF, AIF, ASF, AU, AVC, AVI, BMP, BWF, CDA, DIG, DLX, DPX, DV, EXR, FLAC, GIF, HDP, IVC, JPEG, AVCHD, M2T, M2TS, MVC, Sony MXF (XDCAM and HDCAM SR), MP3, MP4, M4A, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video, OGG, MPO, OMA, Panasonic MXF (DVCPRO, AVC-Intra) PCA, PSD, QT, R3D, PNG, SFA, SND, TIFF, TGA, XAVC S, W64, WAV, VOX, WDP, WMA, XAVC Intra MXF

Obviously, Sony Vegas Pro doesn't support MKV as an input format so it is impossible to import MXF files into Sony Vegas directly.

To fix the problem, the reliable workaround we've found so far is to transcode MXF to a fully compatible format with Sony Vegas Pro. Along with some help from third-party programs, you can achieve your goal smoothly. This will help you import the MXF file correctly and save the rendering time.

Where to find such third-party programs. Luckily, here is iFastime Video Converter Ultimate, which is able to complete this task efficiently. With this great converter, it will not be a problem to open any MXF files in Sony Vegas Pro by converting MXF files that you want to edit in Sony Vegas Pro to Sony Vegas Pro supported formats like AVI, MPEG-2, DV, MP4, etc. Not just MXF, it also enables you to convert almost all videos like MP4MOV, AVI, WMV, FLV, ASF, MKV, TOD, MOD, RM, RMVB, DV, etc to Sony Vegas Pro formats to let you import them to Sony Vegas Pro for editing.

Apart from video, this powerful converter also allows you to convert any audio files to Sony Vegas Pro compatible formats so that you can edit your audio clips in Sony Vegas Pro, at will.

Simple Steps to Convert MXF to Sony Vegas Pro Editing-Friendly Formats

Step 1. Install and launch the MXF to Sony Vegas Pro converter. Click the “Add video” button to import your MXF videos to the program. (Note: batch conversion is supported, so you can load more than one file to save time.)



Step 2. Select output format. Click the format column to choose output format. For Sony Vegas Pro 13/12/11/10 editing, you can choose "WMV (VC-1) (*.wmv)" under "Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas" option.



Step 3. Finally, click "Start conversion" button and your MXF files will be converted into WMV files ready to be imported into Sony Vegas Pro 13/12/11/10.

Note: While importing MXF clips into the program for conversion, please make sure you have the entire MXF file structure as it saved on your camcorder's P2 card. If you only have some loose .MXF clips, your files will have image only without audio. See MXF file structure on Panasonic's P2 card as below. (See how to solve .mxf files with no audio issue)
