GoPro Masterclass: How to film and edit GoPro videos

Set up presets on your GoPro to quickly access settings like resolution and frame rate. Tap the screen to expose for the area you tap, brightening or darkening that spot.

Plan your shots using a target duration and a three-part template: intro, core action, and conclusion, for focused footage and efficient editing of GoPro videos.

Learn to tell a compelling story through video and filmmaking, as editing condenses a mass of clips into a cohesive narrative across formats.

Learn to craft cinematic GoPro sequences by stitching short, 2–3 second clips to a musical score. Differentiate cinematic storytelling from vlogs by conveying your story through visuals and concise edits.

Combine talking-to-camera segments with cinematic footage to create a vlog format that boosts viewer engagement, then edit by overlaying short, related B-roll and switching angles frequently.

Edit your videos with four recommended software options, from iMovie to Adobe Premiere Rush, Adobe Premiere Pro, and the GoPro app, applying transferable fundamentals for slicing, sequencing, and adding b-roll.

Master the timeline cut to shape your story, trim talking clips, assemble B-roll, set 1920x1080 at 23 fps, and use razor and ripple delete.

Master a Premiere Pro color correction workflow using an adjustment layer across GoPro footage, performing global tweaks and micro adjustments, then export the final cinematic or vlog video.

Learn to edit with Adobe Premiere Rush, a free cross-platform editor for Mac or PC; create projects, import clips, build a timeline, add transitions, adjust speed, and export.

Adjust sequence size and aspect ratios in Adobe Rush part 2, and trim and split clips with the snip tool, flip and crop b-roll, and refine talking segments.

Learn to edit GoPro footage in Adobe Rush part 3 by layering b-roll over talking clips, applying slow-motion speed ramps, and exporting with color, saturation, and sharpening adjustments.
