Re: Tutorial: How to convert GoPro HD footage for editing in FCP (Final Cut Pro)

I will need to double-check with GoPro on that. I would set it to OFF too (my initial setting) but the GoPro website actually says it should be on. Probably a typo on their site. I will see what I can find out.

I'm also wondering about why the 'Interlaced scaling' is set to on, because several other tutorials out there have specifically put it to OFF.

Just thought I would mention that I ended up using Premiere Pro CS 5.5 and you can dump raw 1080p HD GoPro footage in there without any pre-processing! So Premiere will be my platform of choice for GoPro video now. Sorry FCP :(

I've got Final Cut Pro 5 so the ProRes 422 codec isn't available and Im not upgrading just to get it either. I don't do video work anymore so am wondering what other options exist out there that don't involve the prores422 codec?

Thanks Gustav for pointing that out. I corrected the number. The sentence didn't actually make any sense as it was.

"As 4GB drive it should be about 3.9 GB not 3.8 GB formatted. This indicates in low level formatting a lot of bad sectors had to be locked out"

This is incorrect. A 4gb drive should be around 3,8gb..
4000000/1024/1024=3,81 GB

Very helpfull thanks! But this seems aimed at Mac users? Which settings would one use for PC using Adobe Premier?
Thanks, Jez

If you want to edit in Final Cut without having to render the clips
while editing, all the frame sizes must be the same as the sequence
settings.

You also need to be careful about mixing Go Pro movies recorded in different sizes: e.g. if you a editing a mix of 960, 720, 1080 sequences. In that case you need to adjust them to the same format in MPEG streamclip when doing the export by using the cropping setting.

I got my gopro files converted to .MOV but they still need to be rendered when I drop them on the timeline. Is there anyway to avoid rendering?

Thanks for this! This is really quite useful. I had an under-performing card before and thrashed it... in hindsight it was probably a fake one.

@Zach
As far as I know, the Pro Res 422 codecs will only show up in MPEG Streamclip if you have FCP installed (since they come with FCP). The file size will be superior yes, even with the ProRes 422 LT. But that will be for the editing process only. Once you export the file in its delivery format your file size will decrease again.

@Ron
Assuming you converted your files properly you might be dealing with a timeline (sequence) setting issue.
Since your Canon HD files and your GoPro files don&#39t use the same settings, one of them probably doesn&#39t match the settings of your sequence.
Try to open your converted GoPro files in a new project and add them to the timeline. Say yes to the popup asking if you want to match your sequence to your footage and see if they are still red.
That should tell us if you converted them properly and if the issue is sequence settings related.
Let me know
Cheers
Jan

This is great info, but my FCP still requires me to render the GoPro files. I sent the file through MPEG Streamclip and changed it to apple 422.. and it didn&#39t work. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I setup my new Canon EOS 7D according to your "Custom Mode C1" and saved it. Yes, first I cleared all settings. I used canon EF 50mm F1.8 MK1 and also Canon EF 17-40mm F4L lenses but both times I get very dark photos in a good bright light room. However, if I pop up the bulit in flash then I get good images. I thought Canon EF 50mm f1.8 prime lens should give good quality photos even without flash. Any advice? ISO is set to 100 as per your instruction.

Hi Amanda
Have you tried resetting your camera? I don&#39t have my camera with me right now but it&#39s somewhere in the last tabs of the menus. It should be labeled &#39Clear all settings&#39 or something like that. Maybe the previous owner has saved some special settings although I can&#39t image which one would actually remove the RAW setting.
Anyway, just a thought, maybe that reset will restore that function.

MaxiMaxi you are right, that seemed strange to me too (I initially didn&#39t select it myself) but this is as per GoPro&#39s own website recommendation.

can you explain why you have "interlaced scaling" on?

thanks!

hi there. i just bought an used canon 7d, was using nikon d70s the past five years. Anyway, i have been searching for answers through google search but there&#39s any question similar to solve my current problem. i&#39ve no idea why i couldn&#39t set to RAW mode after i click in the &#39QUALITY&#39, it shows RAW (-) and i realized i only can change the bottom part, JPEG btw L to S, even i click the (-) at the JPEG&#39s, it still will change back to L(the previous setting that i set) once i click set.
I tried to set as what you stated above, step by step, but at your STEP 2, QUALITY part i already facing problem. So, what exactly it&#39s happening or actually this used unit is faulty or something..?

Please advise. really appreciate your comment and suggestion if there&#39s any. Thank you very much.
