Video editing with GoPro: which editor to choose and why?

About the application

Quik editor from GoPro - video from photos and music.
It's quite a fun idea to create video clips from photos with music overlay. And it doesn’t matter whether they are photographs from a vacation trip, or from all the important events for you over the past 20 years. Such videos always turn out very cute and touching. There is a certain “lamp-like” quality to them. Probably everyone has made such a clip at least once using a standard Windows editor. Today, you can easily succumb to inspiration and create a wonderful video, which you can then show to friends and acquaintances or watch in splendid isolation using your smartphone. The idea of such a program is actually logical and successful. After all, it is on the phone that, as a rule, all the photographs accumulate. Of course, there are those who carry a professional camera with them, but they are unlikely to be the vast majority. Just open the photo folder on your phone and make sure there is more than enough material there.

One of these programs is Quik. It was created by GoPro studio. And, I must say, they did a great job. A simple and intuitive interface, great capabilities, working not only with photos, but also short videos, numerous effects and transitions that will make the finished clip even more beautiful and vibrant. It can really help you create a video you'll be proud of.

To date, the compact and convenient editor has been downloaded by more than 50 million people. And the application is updated with enviable regularity. So it's definitely worth trying it out.

In the application itself, there are 22 designed and different styles of design, as well as several hundred transitions and effects. Also, you can install captions and comments on each image. The finished video clip is saved in 1080p and 720p quality, respectively.

The process of working with the application on a PC is as follows:

After loading a folder of files with photos, a window will open in front of the user in which you can write the name of the video and add a short description.
The next step is to select a suitable template. It should be noted that each of them has a number of its own visual effects and audio insert.
After choosing a template, the video is edited automatically, and you can send it to your friends at any time.

Important!

Each template is executed at a professional level and it is clear that GoPro specialists have done serious work.

As for manually setting up your own clip, in addition to effects and inserts, the user can independently adjust the volume and insert soundtracks. There are several video formats – “square”, “cinema”, etc.

If you think about it, you can safely say that this video editor is an advertisement for GoPro, who apparently decided to expand the scope of their “influence” in the market.
