It's pretty annoying when you shoot some sweet footage (either photo or video) on your GoPro action camera, then, when you go to import, export, or upload it to you sites like YouTube, Instagram or Facebook, they lose quality!

In this video, I take you through some simple tips and tricks that you can use to import AND export your GoPro footage WITHOUT losing ANY quality whatsoever.

Let me know in the comments below if you've got any specific GoPro questions and I'll make sure I get them answered - or make a video to answer them!

I think it is really dumb how Gopro doesn't provide a competent editing software that allows you to stitch 4k videos back together again without needing 3rd party software. lol

Everyone : wow this helped so posting high 4K resolution videos then when it’s posted it looks like it was recorded on a potato because I’m on mobile

What about longer videos? I play volleyball and I need to upload full game videos for scouting purposes. For some reason, the GoPro that I have only saves 8 minute video segments and I can't figure out how to put them together. I have tried lowering the resolution, among other settings and nothing seems to work. Any tips?

For 4K GoPro videos for YouTube your laptop or pc needs to be a minimum i7 or better with a good editor…that’s why I need to upgrade my desktop from i5 to i7. GoPro actually tells you what is needed for 4k

thanks for this, I will keep on watching this until I get familiar. I am suffering uploading video to youtube using my go pro 10 shots

Question if you have a Acer what app do you use to edit it at the time 8:20 in the video?

[NathanMannin]

Hi! I used iMovie maker using my hero 6 1080p 60fps for my car reviews. But they also turn out grainy and a bit laggy/choppy and generally bad quality. But when I watch the video on my photo album it’s crystal clear. But as soon as I upload it to YouTube it becomes really bad. I do upload the video from my iPad to my YouTube after editing on iMovie. Do you know why the quality becomes so bad when it’s on YouTube?

[Shmoodoggy]

You save the file in imovie. Then do you upload it with the youtube button in iMovie or go to youtube directly and upload it directly through youtube?

[ThueBros]

What do I do if there is an Exlemation point on the video and i cant actually view it on my phone?
Also Great vid.

Hey dude.. thanks for the video, real good info.. straight to the point 👌🏼
One question.. I’m looking at buying a MacBook.. what model is yours? Is it powerful enough? Many thanks 🤙🏻

Hey dude could you explain best 4k video setting for Gopro hero 10?
I am trying to take virtual Walking Tour video but I can't get proper sharpness in that video

[allenjan]

bro i have a quick question, is it possible to upload straight from the goproapp to youtube and making it 4k?(the vid i recorded was in 4k 30fps) or do i have to go through another editor like premiere to export it to 4k to youtube?

[campingdogz]

thanks for that video. I have been using go pro quik and iMovie then uploading straight to youtube from iMovie and have thought quality didn't seem as good as the original footage. I do like go pro quik for grabbing photo snaps from video footage as there is an icon for this, but as you say can be annoying to have to download whole lot. Being a bit of a non-tech, once you have saved the edited film to your external mac hard drive, how do you upload it onto youtube, is it on you tube studio. Thanks, probably a really obvious question.

Hi, I have some gopro video that looks mint on my phone, camera settings taken from the loam ranger but no matter what i do (upload directly to youtube from gopro app, or through youtube app or instagram app they look rubbish! They are shot in 1080P and look amazing in my camera roll. How do people upload such clear footage? My footage is clear but once uploaded it's rubbish.

[Grace-ujib]

question- so ive got footage to make into a travel vid (just lots of short clips) but only half wont fit on my use which means i probably cant upload to social media either im guessing. yet people make and upload 5 min travel vids- high quality too- and im just not sure how to compress it all.

[chriscasey]

how do i reduce size of video to put on messenger on facebook, because it tells me file size to big

[SuperAnnaK]

But that's the thing.. when I upload to social media like insta/facebook from phone, the quality is not good and I've actually lost the good quality.

[allandroner]

Thank you! I just have a quick question- I recently just got my GoPro and since I don’t really have another microphone I was wondering if it was possible to put just audio from the GoPro over a video. Sorry if my question is stupid I am new to this stuff.

[deerhunter]

Thanks Man U helped me get started best guide yet!!
