First the highlights is probably the worst part. But with the new quik integration it’s weak compared to the separate quick app.
Up until the recent update making videos was easy and flawless. GoPro might have the name recognition, but that’s where it stops.
Beyond that, their solution for organizing and editing video is subpar and definitely not meant for a pro or anyone who does more than upload a few vacation pics here and there. The auto upload feature is a great idea, where it automatically uploads your clips to the cloud when it connects to your home WiFi (or whatever WiFi you set), but in practice it never does it automatically. It also constantly loses connectivity randomly, so don’t expect to rely on it for a live view experience. If you’re hoping to be able to start the camera remotely to quickly catch action, don’t count on it. Closing out of the app and restarting is usually fixes the problem (not always), but it’s very frustrating to never know if it will work or not. It connects successfully maybe 25% of the time. I tried two different cameras and two different phones with the same results.
The problem is that the connectivity between app and camera is terrible. The app isn’t all that user-friendly, but I can live with that. GoPro (and the app) have some great features, and the video quality of their cameras makes gopro one of the best choices out there (although I understand others are quickly catching up).
No way to tell that it’s on your device so you have to look in two different locations for the same media, and you can make many copy’s that will just be scattered around in random creation order on the iPhone photos side, huge fail from a marketing idea which keeps you trapped using there branding style editing software which is terrible, if it was good enough to work well it wouldn’t be such a big deal and would welcome the sandboxed media, but I have to burn it through there firewall to unlock it and basically after I sort out my few projects on this iPhone I’m just going strait to the pc from here forward! Please don’t make this harder than it should be GoPro! Can’t even share albums inside your app, don’t try to limit us in your corner we know the grass is greener on the other side. A little search shows it “does not double your data” but uses some kind of image shortcut hack, doubtful! You can export the same pic/vid many times and it just adds more complexity duplicating itself. Gets very disorganized because it does not tell you that you sent it over you just get one in the app and now one in the photos section. Finally, the grab saves as a JPEG, which means the same or better resolution but in a smaller file size.Love the H7 hate this app, ok so the media pulled from the GoPro saves to its sand boxed library and you have to then export it again from there to your local files, older version did not act this way.
And it'll match the source video's aspect ratio, so you won't need to crop out the clock at the top, or whatever. An easy-to-use scrubber enables you to locate the precise moment you want, to the exact frame. While a screengrab will only capture the resolution of the phone's screen size, a Frame Grab grab saves the image at the same quality the video was captured at. But the upgraded Frame Grab feature is designed to be better in a whole bunch of ways. Typically, if you wanted a still from a phone video, you'd pause and screengrab.
The full 8.8 update is iOS only, but Android users will have access to Frame Grab as of now. While it's designed as the solution for whipping your GoPro-captured footage into shape, it'll also happily work with any photos or video captured on your Android or Apple device. GoPro – the maker of today's best action cameras – launched Quik, its photo and video editing app, earlier this year, and it already includes a bunch of features that we're quite taken with.
