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.

• 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.

After all the settings are OK, click the "Start conversion" button to start converting videos with ultra fast speed. After the conversion, just click Open button to locate the output files. 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.
