GOPRO Hero 2 720 60 FPS, settings/presets and export settings.

I use a gopro hero 2 to make some short films.   I made this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwWU83oGGx0  video with DSLR 720 60 FPS preset, and let the program choose export. I don't like the black bars on the side of the video. How do I get rid of that? I want it full screen like all the other GOPRO videos. Anyone help me with this, thanks.

  • FCP preset and Exporting movie codec setup?

    Hello all,
    I am using Canon 5D mark II to take the video clips, and editing them by FCP. The original video format from 5D2 is H.264, fps 30, .mov format. At the begining, I transfer it to ProRes422 format, and then edit it in FCP.
    I am not familiar with the codecs, Can anyone teach how to setup the FCP Video/Audio Setting, the Sequence Preset and Capture Preset for my 5D Mark II video?
    On the other hand, when I finish editing, I don't know what kind of codec and file format is better to make the file size smaller and also has good quility for exporting, please give me some advices! thanks!

    Make a new sequence. Drag one of your converted ProRes clips into the timeline before you do anything else. You should get the option to change the sequence to match the clips. Do it.
    As far as exporting goes there's no way to answer that without knowing where you're trying to get to when you export.

  • Best Presets and Export Settings for GoPro and Iphone Footage?

    Is there a good preset that will handle Iphone 4/4s/5 video footage (720P on the 4 and 1080P on the 4S/5), and My GoPro HD Hero2? I typically record on the GoPro in 1080 30FPs, or 720P 60FPS. I generally produce videos with both types of footage.
    What about exporting the footage? I prefer max quality. I store files on PC, and typically upload to youtube ( I have no restrictions to length or size on YT)
    Using Adobe Premiere Elements 10 W7 64bit, 8GB RAM, I7, NVS4200M, etc.

  • GoPro Hero Black 4k Project/Import Settings?

    I've tried to import GoPro Hero3 Black MP4 footage into PP5.5 but only the audio imports so I'm assuming PP5.5 can't handle MP4's.  So, I'm having Cineform, a GoPro product, convert to AVI which is easily imported.
    However, I'm not clear on how to set up a project for GoPro 4K footage.  Indeed, I'm not clear on the implications of the many choices one has when setting up a project.  If I choose the wrong one the project won't work?
    Thank you!

    With this mixed bag of assets, you are going to have to compromise.
    At first blush, I might want to start with a 3K sequence... up-scaling
    the 1080, and downscaling the 4K.
    If this ends up not working out, you can create a new Sequence with
    different settings and copy / paste the clips into the new Sequence.
    Your mix of frame rates is another issue.
    I would pick the frame rate of the primary media source (hopefully
    the 3K), and work in a Sequence that matches that frame rate.
    If I set it to 1080 do I only get a small portion of the 3K and 4K footage?  Conversely, if I set it for 4K, are there huge black borders around the 3k and 2K footage?
    No.
    You will use 'Scale to Frame Size' in the timeline
    or a Motion Effect > Scale / Position to fill the frame.

  • Why do I get usb draws too much power with GoPro Hero?

    I just bought a GoPro Hero 3 Black and it works fine.  First time I connected to a USB port it worked jsut fine.  Later, when I tried to connect it again, I got a message that the USB port is drawing too much power.  I tried a diferent port and it gave same mesage.  Disconnected, tried again and it worked fine.
    I'm wondering if it's a matter of the camera battery drawing too much power when charging?  E.g. first time connected it was fully charged.  I haven't tried it yet again with a full charge.
    Any ideas?

    Which GoPro Hero Camera?
    I use both my GoPro Hero 2 cameras with the same MacBook and have no problems.
    Try charging the camera batteries before you connect to the MacBook.
    I am interested to see if that works for you.

  • Problem reading GoPro Hero Black 4 files (1080p 120 fps) on my iMac with Adobe Premiere Elements

    Hello,
    I have a problem reading GoPro Hero Black 4 files (1080p 120 fps) on my iMac with Adobe Premiere Elements : the file is read but the quality is quite bad. When I watch it with other software like VLC or MPC, the quality is perfect but the video is sometimes slowed or there are some jumps in the reading.
    What is the issue with this ?
    thakns for your help !
    Olivier.

    This is easy. I do it all the time. FCPX ingests GoPro footage just fine. Optimize, and you're good to go.
    BTW: A common hiccup occurs when dealing with over-cranked footage. (60fps or 120fps.) Be sure to "conform speed" to actuate the slo-mo. 'Tis also important to designate your project / timeline at 24fps or 30fps to realize the speed difference.
    I've gotten burned in the past. I'll drag my over-cranked GoPro footage to the timeline. As it is the "first" clip layed into the timeline, the project assumes THAT speed as a default. (As per my preferences.) Thus, when I "conform speed," nothing seems to happen. That's because my project is displaying at the higher rate. A 60fps timeline showing footage shot at 60fps looks "normal speed."
    FYI. (And disregard if you know all this.)

  • Export Settings for GoPro Hero 3?

    I have some footage from GoPro Hero 3 Black. It's 1080p 60fps wide. When I export it from Adobe Premier Pro CS6 the quality is not the same as the original clip. What settings and format are you guys using? Could someone please provide the details as far as the exact format you are using and your settings? I would really appreciate it. I've tried several, e.g. windows media and played around with various options, still the output is crappy.
    This is what I get btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2IP2aBKiBs You can see that the quality even in 1080p is subpar.

    It certainly isn't the cleanest video I have ever seen.
    First of all, did you put it into a sequence by dropping the video on to the "New Item" button so that the sequence is the correct size and number of frames per second?
    Second, try exporting to H.264 and use the "Match Source High Bitrate" and then increase the bit rate even more. And maybe use a two pass VBR.

  • Premiere CC for Mac - How do I fix fisheye from a GoPro Hero 3+ video?

    Hi all,
    First up, I'm very new to Premiere - my experience is probably less than 2 hours at this point.  To disspell any concern over whether or not I'm using a licensed copy of Pr - yes, I am.  I subscribe to Creative Cloud because of my need for Lr, Ps and Ai. 
    Anyway, I've got a GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition camera and would like to learn how to remove the fisheye effect caused by the crazy wide video that produces.  In 1920x1080 "SuperView" I think it's some like 170+ degrees of view vs 127 degrees in "normal" wide mode.  Those figures might not be 100% correct but they're close.
    With SuperView there's some insane fisheye going on - as you'd expect, I guess.  Using the GoPro software there's an option to remove it but that produces video with an aspect ratio that looks squashed.  People are super tall and I lose some of the captured video at the top & bottom when watching.
    In Premiere for Windows, I believe there's a video effect calls Lens Distortion - it's not there on my Mac version of Premiere CC.  The tutorial I watched set the Lens Distortion to -27 and I'd like to try it.  Can't though - that effect isn't there.
    Is it possible to remove fisheye using Premiere CC for Mac only i.e. completely bypass the GoPro software?  If anyone's wondering why I want to bypass the GoPro software - the answer is "just coz." 
    Thanks

    The 2014 release of Premiere Pro CC now has presets for specific GoPro models. This is true in PPro for Mac, too. Check out the Effects tab in the Project panel: Presets > Lens Distortion Removal > GoPro > [your specific model] > [your specific GoPro footage's mode]. Drag the effect to your clip and watch the barrel distortion go away.

  • GoPro Hero 3 Black .mp4 footage import--current best way?

    I've read a lot in these forums about importing .mp4 footage into FCPX.  It seems that it used to be the case (and maybe still is?) that FCPX either wouldn't import .mp4 files, or wouldn't do a good or reliable job if it did.
    I've been shooting some footage with a GoPro Hero 3 Black.  FCPX seems to import it just fine.  But I'm not sure if that's the best way to do it?  Should I be using another program (like GoPro's Cineform software) to first convert the Hero 3 .mp4 files to .mov files?  Or should I just let FCPX do it?
    Also, I noticed something that seems odd when I'm importing these .mp4 files:  If I import them directly from the SD card that the GoPro stores them on, I can select in and out points in the .mp4 clips I'm importing.  But if I first copy the .mp4 files from the SD card to one of my hard drives, I cannot select in and out points when importing (I have to import the entire clip).  Why is this? 
    (I should mention, in case it is relevant, that the clips I cannot select in and out points for [the ones that I first copied to my hard drive] are 1080p 60 fps, and the ones that I can select in and out points for [the ones I'm importing directly from the card] are 720p 120 fps.)

    This is easy. I do it all the time. FCPX ingests GoPro footage just fine. Optimize, and you're good to go.

  • Mixing D3100 1080p 24fps with Gopro hero 1080p30fps

    Hey all,
    I want to shoot constant POV Video with my Gopro hero hd, and then capture some unique stuff with my Nikon
    D3100 and combine them in one project using Premiere Elements 9.  If I set them both to 1080p, then the Gopro is 30fps, and the Nikon 24fps.  I can match them both up at 720p 30fps, but the Gopro has a field of view that is too wide for my taste at that setting, and I hate giving up the quality.  Not sure about how to handle audio yet, but will eventually use a separate audio recorder at some point.
    gspot screenshots:
    Gopro:
    Nikon:
    I hope to share these videos on Vimeo HD. I am a novice, and I am not sure what effect converting a clip to a differant fps would have, and I am not sure is this is necessary. Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thom

    You guys must be pulling your hair out, because I am obviously not doing a good job stating my problem.  Please bear with me!
    You are both trying hard to explain why I am having trouble dealing with the video captured with my two cameras, but that is not my problem.  I have successfully imported 720p 30fps video from each camera into their own project in PE9, edited it, and outputted them to Vimeo with no real issues.  I am also confident that I can figure out how to combine the video from both cameras as long as I set them both to 720p 30fps, although I might be a little naive.  My problem, as I see it, is that the 1080p setting on the Hero records only at 30fps, and the 1080p setting on my Nikon records only at 24fps.
    Should I:
    a.)  leave both cameras at 720fps 30fps, accept the quality hit, be happy, and stop bugging you guys.
    b.)  convert one or the other to a matching frame rate.  Not sure if it is best, or possible, to go up to 30, or down to 24?
    c.)  some other option that I am not seeing because I don't know what I am talking about.
    Thanks for your patience,
    Thom

  • Record timelapse with Gopro Hero 4, editing using iMovie on iOS.

    Hi,
    i would like to see and edit my timelapse video made with Gopro Hero 4, how can I do it with iMovie on iOS - iPad Air.
    Thanks

    Use MpegStreamclip (free) to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
    You must record in or convert the files to 30 fps mode as FCE only works in that frame rate.

  • Export GoPro Hero 4 2.7K video as 1080p leaves black bar on rendered video

    Hi,
    I want to downscale and export some videos I shot with my Go Pro Hero4 Black at 2.7K resolution (2704x1520) to 1920x1080 with premier Pro CC. Every time I do (I have tried different render settings and codecs) I always end up with a thin black line across the very bottom bottom of the video. Anyone know how I can scale the video to fit 1920x1080 without this thin black line appearing?

    Even if you shoot at 2.7K or 4K and put it in a timeline, render it out at 1080p you will see better results than shooting at 1080p.  I shoot in 4K with the goPro Hero 4 black and the GH4.  4K is great.
    I thought apple would allow us to export 4K from iMovie 10.0.06 but you can only share a 4K clip in the browser not the entire project.  hopefully this is just an update away.
    FCPX is the way to go with 4K.

  • Frame rate issues with GoPro Hero

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 on a Windows XP machine.
    I'm very new to the world of editing so please bear with me.
    I have a GoPro Hero 1080p camera and I'm filming motorsport.
    I have been recording in 1080p but after doing some research most people seem to be recording in 720p which utilises 60fps in the NTSC setting.
    When I come to edit in Adobe the imported clips are shown as 59.96fps not 60fps! The closest I can get is 59.94fps. The outputed footage looks awful.
    These are the project settings I have used:
    It might be worth explaing that the fottage is stored on the memory card as a .avi. My method of importing the clips is to change the file extention to .mov and then Adobe excepts them. Is this the best method?
    Sorry for the all the long winded questions but all help would be greatly receieved.
    Thanks in advance.
    Nick

    Thanks everyone for your help. I think I am alot closer to being able to finally edit my video.
    Bill, your article was just what I needed, so thank you.
    This link seems to have a good amount of info plus this one from Bill has pointed me in the right direction.
    I believe the below settings are right for my 720P 60fps (well 59.94 after converting from MP4 to .MOV)
    I am now unsure whether to use DROP-FRAME TIMCODE, NON DROP-FRAME TIMECODE or FRAMES?
    Please bear with me, sorry for all the questions! The next bit is what file format and compressor to use.
    I am trying to make the footage for YouTube. I believe these 2 sections will make my project settings perfect for the footage.
    Thanks in advance.

  • What are the best sequence presets and settings to use in FCE for the best resolution with the least amount on strain on computer?

    Hello!
    Can someone please help me figure out the best settings to use in order to obtain the best resolution in FCE4 for a television show that is going to be sent out on full size Sony DVcam tapes, with 4:3 aspect ration and audio output at 48kHz? I am currently working with mixed media sources in Final Cut Express, and I am wondering what the best settings (presets and preferences) are, in order to provide the HIGHEST resolution possible, while putting the least amount of strain on my computer system?
    I am importing mini DV-standard definition footage and still photos (from Canon Rebel camera, HD CMOS Canon camcorder that records in 1440x1080 at 48 kHz, and cell phone photos). For voiceovers I use the tools in FCE.
    I use Voltaic (which I use thanks to recommendations from Apple discussion boards, love it!)  to convert the footage from the HD CMOS-Canon HD VIXIA (HG 20) camera, and then I am using print to video to output onto Sony DVcam tapes (full size). This is for delivery for a television network that broadcasts in Standard Definition, so I need to produce the highest resolution and best quality possible that also puts the least amount of stress on my computer system.
    If anyone has any recommendations, help, or sources that can help me answer this question I would be greatly appreciative.
    Thank you!
    Susan Kayne

    This is happening because your video clip properties do not match your sequence settings.  This is always a problem when you try to insert video from multiple camcorders/cameras (that use different video codecs, frame sizes & rates) in a single sequence. 
    It will help a lot if you provide more specifics - what FCE easy setup did you use to create your sequence?  For your DV footage, are you using standard 4:3 DV or anamorphic 16:9 DV clips?
    If you plan to export to standard def (DV/DVCAM) and are mixing DV from a miniDV camcorder, stills, cell phone images and AVCHD then I would suggest that you use the DV NTSC easy setup for your sequence.  Use MPEG Streamclip or similar utility to convert your non-DV video (your AVCHD video) to QuickTime/Apple DV-DVCPRO NTSC.   Then all your video will match your sequence settings.  Yes, you will have to crop the AVCHD footage to 4:3 and you can do that in MPEG Streamclip.

  • Does imovie support the GoPro Hero 2 camera?

    Any problems uploading GoPro Hero 2 MPEG4 files into a Macbook Pro?

    I am having huge problems with importing from my Hero 2 HD into iMovie 10.0.1.  It looks like the files import but then when I come back to iMovie I have a Missing Camera error over each file.  I find it hard to believe that Apple would not support the Hero 2.  I looked in the iMovie support area and searched for what GoPro iMovie does support and only the Hero 3 is listed.  Anyone else having trouble importing video or timelapse pictures from your Hero 2 or Hero 2 HD?  Very frustrating.  Fortunately, I did find that even after upgrading to Maverick, iMovie 9.0 is still in my applications folder under the iMovie folder.
