Connecting Your Gopro To Your Pc; From Gopro To Pc - MAGIX Fastcut Manual Manual

Connecting your GoPro to your PC

You can connect your GoPro to your PC using a USB cable, then switch it on and
access the clips.
But my tip is: If your PC or notebook has an SD- or micro-SD card slot: Take the small
micro SD card out of your GoPro and attach it to this slot.
Advantage: Much faster data access compared to a USB cable.
This lets you edit your clips more fluidly! This way you can create small editing
projects with MAGIX Fastcut directly from your SD card without the need of copying
large files to your PC, which can easily take 15 minutes or more. A unique MAGIX
Fastcut advantage!

From GoPro to PC

Should I use Direct Import or Copy to hard drive?
MAGIX Fastcut offers two ways to access your GoPro clips:
• Import: The large clips stay on your SD card, they are accessed directly via USB,
or better, via an SD card reader.
Advantage: No time is lost to time consuming copy processes, and editing can
start immediately. This way you can show template-based results in less than
three minutes, while users of other tools still have to wait to finish the Import
procedure.
• Copy: Using the Copy mode all video data is copied from your GoPro to the PCs
hard drive. This takes time and space.
