- I received a couple of DMs this week from Emma and Louis
and I responded to one of them
(Jake laughing)
and I will respond to the other,
but I'm not a GoPro helpline.
I'm just giving you my opinion on ways
that I've been able to sort of square this circle.
So, yeah. So, today we're gonna be talking
about like beginner tips
for shooting and editing on your GoPro.
Thank you to Emma and Loui.
(upbeat music)
Emma is like,
"I just got a GoPro and I don't really know
what's considered good settings."
Let me just answer that straight up.
Emma, good settings,
or anyone else who just has a GoPro,
is whatever you make it.
There's no hard and fast rule to say
"This is how you must shoot on your GoPro."
There's none of that.
We all learn from making mistakes
and we all learn as to what suits us best
from just shooting.
So, I'm just encouraging you straightaway.
Thank you for reaching out,
but I'm encouraging you to just pick up the camera
and roll with it, girl.
Just get out there and just have fun.
20 more steps.
- 20 more steps.
(Jake exhaling)
I can do this.
(Jake exhaling)
- Go, go, go.
(Anna exhaling)
One in front, one in front, (Anna inhaling loudly)
push it, push.
- Yeah, okay.
- Moving on, you're like,
"I want to use my GoPro for vlogging and just regular shots,
and I'm not really going for cinematic."
(Jake laughing)
It's funny that you say this,
"I'm not going for cinematic,"
because you're like,
and you also follows up with,
"I can't find any videos online about settings
other than cinematic."
That's 'cause everyone makes videos like
How To Make Cinematic GoPro Videos.
So, let's just get rid of that.
We ain't doing that.
(Jake laughing)
We're not putting the little black bars at the top.
We're not color grading the content.
We're just making some videos.
Just having fun with it.
Yeah, you're going, that's so Australian.
Just continuing on,
I'm having a look at Loui's question.
You said you don't have a laptop, you're like,
"I don't have a laptop
and I don't know how to upload my photos
and videos to my phone
or any mobile editing software."
You want to shoot and edit content on your GoPro
and then edit it on your mobile.
That's what I'm extracting from the DM.
And then Loui is like,
"I have recorded some footage in 2.7K, 120 frames a second.
I've downloaded to the GoPro app on my phone.
However, it won't actually save my footage
to my camera roll.
As I presume, it's too high quality
for my iPhone 11.
Possibly.
Both these DMs are like
(Jake mouth popping)
meeting in the middle here.
It's about like aspect ratio
and about just getting over that hurdle
of a few tech settings.
- Ahh.
(upbeat music drowns out speaker)
(upbeat music)
- Finally made it to the top.
We started our hike, started at 10.
So, I think it's taken us two hours to walk up this mountain
and roughly nine and a half thousand steps
but it's been so worth it.
(sigh)
So nice up here.
I'm gonna get the long lens out
and just take photos of every single peak
that I can possibly see.
- We have a little sandwich with some
Conte - Conte.
- Actually, I think it's the Beaufort.
Some Beaufort, some salad and some bread.
That's right,
that's the lunch that we're having today
(Anna whooping)
and that's the view.
- To quickly answer Loui's question,
I don't think it's the fact that it's 2.7K
that it's not saving to your smartphone.
Okay, so I just recorded a 128 frames a second clip
on the GoPro.
Some files can't be previewed from your GoPro.
Download the file to iPhone to view it.
Download.
Calculating.
View media.
Okay, it's in 2.7K.
Testing, testing out the 2.7K 120 fps for Loui.
Save to photos.
Preparing clip.
Media saved. Got it.
What I recommend as good settings for people
that are shooting and editing on mobile
is shooting in 1080 60 wide.
That's it.
To set this up, it is super simple.
Just tap when you're in Video mode
in the bottom big fat icon, to create a new preset.
So, scroll all the way down to the bottom
and if you've gotta GoPro Hero9, hit that plus icon.
Once you hit the plus icon,
select Video cause we're creating a video preset
and literally, just leave the settings as they are,
as the default factory settings 1080 60 wide, you can see.
Just click that top right tick
and that will be your preset.
Then, start editing your footage
in one of these three recommended mobile editing apps.
Straight into the GoPro app,
I recommend you editing in Adobe Rush.
Yes, that's a subscription model.
You can get like three free exports if you're new to it
and you can trial it to see if it's good for you.
You could edit in iMovie if you've got an iPhone.
You could edit in Splice which I think is also.
I've made videos on all these editing suites
or you could edit in KineMaster
or you could edit it in like LumaFusion,
I think is another editing suite.
Link here, link there to check those videos out.
I use Adobe Premiere Pro.
I also like to edit on desktop
and if you ever wanted to take those projects
that you've edited on your mobile to your desktop,
then I recommend something like Adobe Rush.
Here's a quick little example of Adobe Rush on mobile.
My phone is totally struggling to edit this.
So this is the 2.7K clip that I tested out for Loui.
(Jake chuckling)
That's crazy.
And as you can see, it really struggles to edit 2.7K.
We're now gonna 1080 cont. The 1080 cont.
So, this is the 1080 clip that I filmed.
I've saved it from the GoPro app
and I have uploaded it into Adobe Premiere Rush.
I recommend using 1080 content
because it's so much more mobile friendly.
Also, I recommend using the 60 frames a second
because if you do wanna do any slow motion,
like I'm showing you here and changing the speed,
it's gonna give you much buttery, silkier, smooth,
slow-motion content.
(upbeat music)
However, caveat, this comes with a price tag.
When people are like
"Oh, is it free?"
No, it's not and it sucks
because they will hook you in if you do enjoy it
or you can just create a whole heap of emails
and get around it that way.
Keep signing up and getting emails but whatever.
So, that's what I would recommend.
Shooting in 1080 60 frames a second
and then editing videos in like Splice or Adobe Rush.
- I decided to take off my helmet
cause we're almost there.
(upbeat music)
- So much warmer down here.
I can feel my hands.
(upbeat music)
- Was it worth three hours hiking up?
I think it was, honestly.
- It def-
- I think I have more appreciation of it, in a way.
- Now for photos, you have the option
when you're shooting photos on your GoPro,
to shoot with a timer, to shoot in burst,
to shoot time-lapse photos.
There's lots of different ways that you can take photos.
However, I recommend this.
For selfies, anything on the selfie stick,
just go to the Photo mode
and use a countdown timer of three seconds.
So, on the GoPro Hero9,
just click the big button at the bottom there
to select your Photo mode
and at the very top, you can choose Individual Photo mode.
Now over on the right, you can select your output.
It's, at the moment, it's on Standard,
but if we scroll up or down,
we can change the photo to be HDR,
we can change the photo to be SuperPhoto
or right down the bottom, we can select RAW.
As a beginner, I recommend just leaving it on Standard
which means it's outputting in a JPEG format
which is perfect for mobile.
Now over on the left, if you tap on that button,
that's gonna be your timer.
So you can select 3 seconds, 10 seconds
and that's it.
If you're holding the camera pretty close,
then maybe three seconds is perfect,
and then we smile for the camera.
(Jake laughing)
It's that simple.
Now, if you're setting it up on a tripod, like this,
and you just want to take the single photo
because again,
(sighs)
you might not have a lot of space
on whatever device you're editing it on
because you got heaps of social media content on there,
then just take a single photo,
do the 10 second timer
and pow, pow, pow.
See that's counting down.
Three, two, one.
That's what I would do.
It's literally so simple.
It's just use the countdown timer.
If you want to capture any action,
any kind of action shot, use Burst.
It's just an extra click of a button.
This vlog up here,
literally explains how to use Burst mode through
pretty fun video.
I think myself, it's pretty good.
So, watch that video
if you want to understand how to use Burst mode
but literally, if we're just taking photos,
just use Photo, super simple.
Don't change any of the photo settings, just use Auto.
That's how I started.
So, start like that and then,
once you, again, go through the process
of connecting to your smartphone,
then taking the content of your smartphone,
putting it onto your app.
I would edit in Lightroom.
Again, you can get Lightroom Mobile for free
and you can also get some free presets,
which are from us, for not just color,
they're linked in the description.
We've got three free presets
so you can edit your GoPro photos
or your folksy images, whatever.
Use those presets, test them out.
You can just save them to your,
to like create a little preset folder on Lightroom.
And, you can just start learning how to tweak
and edit your photos to get a design aesthetic
that might suit your Instagram content.
I would start with Lightroom.
I would familiarize yourself with that.
If you don't want to download Lightroom
because you ain't got no more space on your phone,
just use the general phone app.
There's so much you can do in just,
if you have an Apple product, specifically,
just in the iPhone editing settings itself.
There's a video up here where I edit GoPro photos
just in the iPhone app.
So, check that video out if you're interested
and that would be it.
That would be the way that I would tackle this question.
Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did, give it a thumbs up.
- Subscribe.
- Like it and I'll see you guys in the next upload.
Oh yeah, that's it.
