The new GoPro App for Desktop works with both PCs and Mac, and is designed to make it incredibly simple to offload, organize, highlight, and quickly edit/upload videos taken with any GoPro camera. A non-linear editor (like Adobe Premiere and Apple Final Cut X) will allow you far more control and the most options, but for those just getting started, or for super quick edits for family or friends, faster and easier can sometimes be the way to go. Here are more of the features:

  • Optimized for offloading, organizing and sharing GoPro photos and videos
  • Includes powerful features for viewing and editing burst and time-lapse photos
  • HiLight Tags help you quickly find your best moments
  • Simple video trimming tools make it easy to create and share short clips
  • Comes bundled with GoPro Studio for more advanced editing
  • Updates your GoPro with the latest features for optimal performance
