OK i have a couple quistions and i know there is a thread out there for them but i have looked and have not found....

1. While i was looking for a good free editing software that was recomended for gopro footage i came a cross about 10 people saying "use MPEG_streamclip_1.2 for all the editing then export in to your movie editing software......"

So i have a quistion about that, why does every one recomend it? does it export it in to a friendly file instead of mpeg_4?

2.From experence from other gopro users, What editing software have u used that has a good bit of perks, can edit mpeg_4 videos, semi simply to use, and free.

I know its hard to find a good editing software that is free but if there is one at staples or some thing that is semi cheep(30-50 dollers) i would love to hear about it.

P.S since it was so hard for me to find a thread about this does ns think i just keep it up if i get some good answers or just delete it after i get the answers?

if you're comfortable pirating software / your machine could run it get adobe premiere pro cs5. no conversion of the files needed like in final cut pro 7 for mac where youd have to use something like mpeg streamclip and put them to apple pro res 422 lt or something like that. or imovie works with gopro pretty well i just hate using that program.

pirate, but it sounds like you might be better of with a cheap version of sony vegas, much simpler, especially for beginners

The cheapest version is probably decent for what your looking for. The second cheapest one is a huge step up though in terms of features.

Download the Premier Pro CS5 free trial off Adobe's website- you get 30 days of usage before you have to use a keygen/patch to actually pirate it.
