One of the huge benefits to 4K, that you can do a lot to the image and retain detail for a beautiful 1080p finish. For those who wanna play and edit GoPro Hero 4K videos on old computer (playing a 4K video requires more computing power and it could be more time consuming), we suggest you to convert all GoPro Hero 4K videos to 1080p then play in 1080p and smart-render.

Import GoPro Hero 4K Video to Sony Movie Studio

Summary: How to import GoPro Hero 4K video to Sony Movie Studio? Here is a simple tutorial teaching you to convert GoPro Hero 4K video to Sony Movie Studio editing-friendly format with ease. Move on and find something useful to you.


Hot search: GoPro Hero 4K video to DropBox | GoPro video to DVD Player | MTS to Sony Movie Studio | MP4 to Sony Movie Studio

The GoPro HD cameras like Hero2, Hero3, Hero4, etc. are familiar with everyone whoever has passion for sports and other outdoor activities. GoPro HD is the world's first true HD and best selling wearable camera to record sporting and other activities. The latest GoPro Hero4 Black allows you to record at up to 4K resolution at 30 frames per second.

“Got a GoPro Hero4 for days and I'm having some problems editing the footage. When I bring the GoPro video into Sony Movie Studio 13, they play choppy and really slow, let alone for editing. I’m seeking for the solution to the GoPro to Sony Movie Studio importing & editing issues.”

A little searching turns up the solution. Actually, Sony Movie Studio 13 has no ingest transcoder, nor timeline rendering. What does this mean? Since we were using footage from a GoPro camera (notorious among the editing community for stuttering due to its high compression), we had to use another program to transcode the footage into a usable format. You can refer to detailed Sony Movie Studio supported formats below:

Import: AAC, AA3, AIFF, AVI, BMP, CDA, FLAC, GIF, JPEG, MP3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, OGG, PCA, PNG, QuickTime, SND, SFA, W64, WAV, WDP, WMA, WMV

Export: AAC, AIFF, AVC, AVI, BMP, FLAC, JPEG, LPEC, MP3, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, OGG, PCA, PNG, TIFF, QuickTime, W64, WAV, WDP, WMA, WMV

Since Sony Movie Studio might not work with some GoPro Hero 4K videos due to the codec issue, to get rid of the trouble, we need to convert GoPro Hero 4K video to Sony Movie Studio preferred codec and then transfer the converted videos to Sony Movie Studio for editing. To achieve the goal, you can use Pavtube Video Converter, the best app that can help you convert 4K video to Sony Movie Studio compatible video with original quality. The equivalent version- Pavtube Video Converter for Mac (review) is also available.

Steps to convert GoPro Hero 4K video to Sony Movie Studio acceptable format:

Step 1: Download and install the program. Click “Add video” on the main interface to load your GoPro Hero 4K videos to the program. You can also drag the files to the program’s window list directly. This program can also support the batch video clips.



Step 2: Select the right formats for editing in Sony Movie Studio. Here we suggest you to go to the “Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas” list, you will get the “MPEG-2 (*.mpg)” as the best output.



Step 3: In the “Settings” button, you can adjust video and audio settings, including codec, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, and audio channel.

Step 4: After all the settings, you can preview the final result of movie. If you are happy with the effect, you can then press the big “Convert” button on the lower right to launch the conversion.

Conclusion: This program is highly efficient because it’s boosted with CPU and GPU (30X faster). And a neat process bar will show the percentage and remaining time. When all conversions completed, you’ll get a pop-up notice. Just click “Open Folder”, you can fast find where your converted files are saved.
