From GoPro to YouTube

[snowrider]

I finally got some time to work with the videos that I shot the past winter. I am wondering if anyone can tell me how I can edit my video files and then post to YouTube. I have tried to upload some small video clip to YouTube with no problem. However, most video files are very big. I want to work (trim/edit/cut) with them before uploading to YouTube. Does anyone happen to know an easy way to handle this problem?

did you export the video in the iPhone format and/or lower res. That will shrink down the files quickly.

I don't know how to export from GoPro to some other formats. The file format is MP4. The thing is that I want to edit/cut/trim them.

You can download MovieMaker from Microsoft. It is free. It will take a long time to import if the file is large.

轉檔的話，你可以考慮下面這個轉檔程式，很好用。轉成WMV檔就小很多了，你要用用看才知道。

另外 YouTube上傳一定的影片數量後，他們會開放給你可以一次上傳更大的檔案資格。

My Vista and Win7 both come with MovieMaker, but it does not take MP4 format.

弱慢兄你是用這程式來轉成WMV檔之後再用MovieMaker來編輯嗎?

我用的新版的威力導演可以編輯mp4，不過這個要花錢買。

我通常轉成mpeg2後，再用威力導演編輯。我不喜歡用MovieMaker，難用到爆了。

終於發現這 Win7 的 Windows Live Movie Maker 工作!

Maybe you'd be interested on this clip; in the footage, the producer has described the materials and software used to produce this video clip.

Well, the problem with gopro and contour kind of "Point of View" (POV) cameras is their format (mp4) is good for "display" on electronic devices such as iphone, ipad, and TV, etc., but it is terrible in editing (video and audio not matched, skip frames, and etc., so you need to convert the clips to wmv, mpeg, or quicktime .mov (the best) format before you do the editing. When editing, there are quite a bit envolved, but if you only want to "cut" clips, try mpeg streamclip from "Square 5," easier.

Have not gone to the post office, yet, will check; on Monday it wasn't in. Thanks for sending.

And making a completed segment of "movie" to tell a story is fun too, these two clips were made with "Final Touch" for IMAC.

There should not be any difference in quality between mp4,mpeg and.mov because they all are H.264. You can read up the difference between codec and container.

Snowrider, received the DVD you sent, thanks. Comparing your Gopro's images and Jack's Contour's, Contour has much darker images and skippy; I think that the Gopro has better qualities and much smoother. Need helps to put some of the clips on youtube? Let me know, I can put them up for you.

Remenbering the good time,

taichiskiing - What a wonderful finale! You really enjoy this life style - skiing half year and fishing the other half. Jack and I both agree that we should join you at Tahoe when we retire. About editing videos, I can use Win7's Windows Live Movie Maker to handle MP4 file format. I'll take time to play with it. Here is one that I uploaded the other day:
