Go Pro video editing

[mrpbailey]

Hi guys, the search facility is down again (as it seems to be 95% of the time!), so maybe a common question.
I will start by saying i'm totally clueless on this kind of stuff. Basically I want to edit (cut sections out, remove sound etc) from my go-pro footage. It is recorded in Mpeg4 format. was wondering if there is a program (preferably downloadable free) commonly used, or any tips on a simpler method of editing?

Cheers
Paul

PCs don't like that format. If you are on a Mac, no prob.

If you ARE on a PC then a prog like CONVERTERLITE (free - google it) will convert to AVI and then you can use the Windoze MovieMaker (you have it already) to edit. It's piss easy.

Thanks Carter, yes im on PC so will give that one a try.

My Windows 7 machine copes with the output from my gopro without issue.. I just chuck it into Windows Live Movie maker and go from there (admittedly, I'd prefer a more capable editor, but don't have the hardware to support it)

You can get Sony Vegas software for next to nothing. Works a treat.

Ah yes so it does! I have just got a new laptop with windows 7, was trying before with vista and movie maker doesnt recognise them files.
