GoPro Studio 2 5 User Manual Global Playback Settings in the EDIT Room While in the EDIT Room please take notice of the GLOBAL PLAYBACK SETTINGS panel found in the upper right hand corner of GoPro Studio s EDIT Room You can expand the size of this panel by clicking and dragging on the grey line that separates this panel from the VIDEO CONTROLS panel just beneath it Its important to recognize that the Global Playback Settings are not the same as the clip based Video and Audio Playback Controls or the clip based Color Correction and Framing Controls which appear just below the Global Playback Settings panel They are different in that the Global Playback Settings affect how ALL GoPro CineForm files are played back or decoded while the clip based controls only affect individual clips We will now look at each of the options in the Global Playback Settings PLAYBACK The PLAYBACK option determines the decode resolution used to playback GoPro CineForm files within the GoPro Studio application and offers the following choices e AUTO e BEST FULL RES e DEFAULT HALF RES e DRAFT QUARTER RES Choose the option that provides the best playback performance for your computer If the files are playing back choppy in the Preview Window change to one of the lower settings or use the AUTO setting to allow GoPro Studio to choose the best option for your computer NOTE When you export your storyboard explained later you will b
2. Before you begin replacing the GoPro Edit Template content with your own video clips it s a good idea to playback the Storyboard a few times to get a feel for the flow of the Edit Template e Click on a clip in the Storyboard and then drag the Storyboard Time Indicator to the beginning of the Storyboard and press the PLAY button in the Playback Controls or the SPACEBAR on your keyboard to see the all clips played back sequentially e The Decrease Speed and Increase Speed buttons can be used to play the video faster or slower e Use the Step Forward and Step Backwards buttons to step through the Storyboard one frame at a time e Press the LOOP button to cause playback to start over from the beginning when the Play head reaches the end of the Storyboard Tip As you play through the GoPro Edit Template pay particular attention to its use of slow paced scenes and high action scenes This is important because when replacing these Target Areas with your own video clips you ll want to match the energy level of the content you re replacing This will ensure that your edits line up with the existing musical cues in the Edit Template s soundtrack Once you have a good feel for the flow of the GoPro Edit Template you re ready move on to the next section where you ll learn how to replace the Target Areas with your own video clips 36 2D iF on p GOPRO009 AVI 00 01 60 71 2292 s Se 1 GOPROO10 AMI i e 20 E 00 09

There are two ways of using GoPro Studio The first way is as a stand alone start to finish video editing application The second way is to use GoPro Studio in tandem with other 3 party video editing applications such as Adobe After Effects Adobe Premiere Pro Apple Final Cut Pro and others This User Manual will discuss each of these workflows in separate chapters The two workflows are as follows Using GoPro Studio as a Stand Alone Application In this workflow you trim and convert your camera source files into GoPro CineForm files then use GoPro Studio to combine clips add color effects and speed changes music and titles all using the built in storyboard editor the built in Edit Templates make this a quick and easy process Then you export your movie to various formats YouTube Vimeo or a high quality Master file for archival purposes With this workflow all you need is a compatible computer and GoPro Studio Using GoPro Studio with 3 Party Applications In this advanced workflow you convert your camera source files into GoPro CineForm files use GoPro Studio to add color effects adjust framing and other settings then use those same GoPro CineForm files in other 3 party applications for further editing or processing This workflow requires another video editing or compositing application to be installed on your computer Some of the popular professional applications are Adobe After Effects Adobe Premiere Pro Apple Final Cut Pro
