Personal Tips From Tilman Herberger; Gopro Action Cam Settings - MAGIX Fastcut Manual Manual

Personal tips from Tilman Herberger

Hi, I´m Tilman Herberger, chief developer at MAGIX Software GmbH.
For many years i´ve been using GoPro action cams for my hobbies such as skiing,
biking and aerial photography using my quadrocopter. That's why I´m very proud to
introduce MAGIX Fastcut for super high speed editing and improving GoPro clips.
I´d like to give you – especially the action cam beginner – some tips based on
my experience in this area. This will help you to achieve good results in a very short
time using the right GoPro settings and the best tools in MAGIX Fastcut.

Video format
State-of-the-art action cams support many different video formats. If you have lots of
time, try them all and find out which meet your needs best.
My tip: Use the full HD format. That means 1080 lines. For really fast movement in
your videos, use 50 or 60 frames, but in most cases also 25 or 30 frames per
second are enough.
Advantage over higher resolutions: These settings keep editing slick and fluid and
the resulting file sizes are moderate. A typical HD TV shows the same format –
1080 lines.
