How To Use GoPro Quik App
Pros
Although it’s very easy, there are some drawbacks. Let me start by saying that this is an awesome tool and ideal for anyone who is the first GoPro video editor. Video editing software can be overwhelming and frustrating. This tutorial is great for anyone who’s just starting out. Simply take your footage and turn it into a shareable video.
Cons
Only GoPro content can be used in the Quik App. You cannot import footage from your smartphone or DSLR to edit within Quik App Desktop. This is not a major issue, as this app is GoPro. They want you to use it with GoPro content.
For ten songs, you can download them for free. To access the additional song collection, you will need to sign up for GoPro Plus. You can’t import any music.
There are also limitations on the number of Highlights that you can create. You can only tag 10 Highlights in a 30-second video.
