Editing GoPro Videos
I know a bunch of you guys mess around with these. I took some video in OBX with my new Gopro and want to edit it. I've heard you need to convert the GoPro's videos in order to edit them?
What do you guys use?
Thanks!

I don't understand. I thought the GoPro Hero only recorded in "Video Format: H.264 compression, saved as Windows- & Mac-compatible MPEG4 (.mp4) file" You can edit that using just about any software. I like Premier Pro, for Windows and Kdenlive for Linux. Always edit in the captured format (if your hardware can handle it) and export it how ever you need it. If it is AVCHD or something you may want to batch convert it to some other loss less encoding before you edit if you have slower hardware. But this is not going to be the case with the Hero.
