Basic on Videos Shot by GoPro Cameras
Videos recorded by GoPro cameras are in MP4 H.264 format. However, the latest GoPro Hero 6 capture 4K footages in HEVC, which means that some GoPro video editor will be unable to work with GoPro files. If so, convert the video formats or switch to another video edditor for your gopro footage.
Videos recorded by GoPros are split into segments. For example, Hero 4 will cut the recording every 4GB, and earlier models support smaller sizes. How long is a video in 4GB? For instance, a 9-minute HD recording will fill up 4GB. In other words, to create your own film, your GoPro video editing tool should merge the 4-GB pieces together, while try to limit the file size for easier acceptance on mobiles or web sites.
GoPro is able to shoot videos in high quality and high resolutions (up to 4K). But, those crisp images can be extremely large in size. Take the shooting times for Hero 4 cameras with 64GB SD card as an example, 2hr 56m recording in 4K resolution will occupy the 64GB storage. When you edit GoPro videos on Mac/PC, don't forget to reduce the video size to make GoPro allowable for YouTube, FaceBook or Instagram etc.
