“I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and I got some experience with it. I started with importing the video material(1280×720 60FPS) from my GoPro HD Hero2 Camera. While editing I obviously used the video preview window to see the result of my editing and the video quality was fine! Time to render. After the rendering process was done the video quality turned out really bad! I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong! “
“I have several hours of footage taken with a GoPro HD Hero3 at 720p 60fps (mp4) and am trying to create my first movie, but frustratingly they show up only as the sound but no vision when I import these MP4 files to Adobe Premier Pro CS6?”
Born from a passion to capture your love of sport from your perspective, the Gopro cameras like the hot GoPro HD HERO 4, GoPro HD HERO3+, Gopro HD Hero 3, Gopro HD Hero2, Gopro HD Hero are all the feat of engineering. Gopro records in MP4 files, using H.264 video (AVC) and AAC audio and has many different resolutions, which gives you the ability to capture and share life’s most passionate experiences.
As you know GoPro records MP4 videos, but it seems Adobe Premiere Pro(including the recent Premier Pro CC7) does not like the way. The file type is a compressed output format, but not ideal for editing in NLE system. To solve those problems, the quick workaround is to transcode MP4 files to Premiere Pro natively supported formats (MPG/WMV/MOV are highly recommended). Along with some help from third-party software, it can be done effortlessly. Here I share a simple guide on how to convert GoPro HD MP4 files for Adobe Premiere Pro editing smoothly.
