You then are advised to convert the GoPro MP4 videos to MOV ProRes format to be editable in FCPX. For example, you try to import some MP4 video clips from your GoPro camera into Final Cut Pro X for editing, but you realize the GoPro MP4 files is not a Final Cut Pro X editable format. Even though MP4 is the current industry standard and widely used for video distributing, it's not always popular in every occasion, especially if you are in Apple ecosystem.
Normally, GoPro HD Hero sports camera shoots the footage at MP4 (*.mp4) format with H.264 codec. Typical of its durability and waterproof performance, GoPro is easy to use whether you are climbing mountains, snorkeling or riding rollercoaster. The Mac used was a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013).For outdoor expedition, GoPro (GoPro Hero Session, Hero5 Session, Hero5 Black) is a must to capture the footage of epic experience on the run. The GoPro Quik Application was also unable to find and download any GoPro content stored on an external SD card inserted into the Mac or saved on a drive. After connecting the GoPro HERO5 Black to the Mac, it got stuck while trying to download the GoPro video content from the SD card.
Unfortunately, the Quik Application failed us in other ways as well.
We were able to download the UPDATE.zip file to save it into the SD card and successfully update the firmware although it would have been a lot easier using the Quik Application to do this if it actually worked. After contacting GoPro support, they recommended that we save the firmware update into the SD card and manually perform the update as per the instructions below. Unfortunately, we were unable to complete this update despite multiple attempts. We first had to make sure the camera's battery was charged and an SD card was inserted. Once you open the Quik Application, you can create or log in using your GoPro account.Īfter logging in, we received notification that an update was available for the GoPro HERO5 Black. We downloaded the GoPro Quik Desktop version from the GoPro webpage.Īfter download was complete, we installed the Quik.pkg application. Unfortunately, we were unable to get the Mac version of the GoPro Quik to work with the GoPro HERO5 Black or SD cards that had been used by the camera.
You can also use GoPro Quik to perform the latest firmware updates to your GoPro HERO5 Black. The GoPro HERO5 Black divides a long video recording into separate 4GB files ( see related review) so you need to use software like the GoPro Quik Desktop to stitch all videos files together and edit them.
