Choosing Advanced Conversion Settings
When you select a file for conversion, GoPro Studio chooses default conversion settings
based on the file’s original format. You can keep the default settings or customize them to
meet specialized needs. This section will provide information about the various advanced
conversion settings and explain why they are useful in certain situations.
Click on the ADVANCED SETTINGS button to open the Advanced Settings shade panel.
IMAGE SIZE
Use the IMAGE SIZE setting to adjust the resolution of the converted clip. The source
file’s resolution is identified by the word “Source” next to it (as shown in the screenshot to
the left). You can keep the source setting or change it to a different resolution. Some
reasons to change the resolution are as follows:
• You shot at a higher resolution than your desired output format (e.g. source was
2.7K but your output format is 1080p)
• You shot at a lower resolution and want to upscale it to a resolution that matches
your desired output format (source was 720p 120fps but your output is 1080p
30fps)
• You shot in a format that uses a 4:3 aspect ratio but your desired output format is
16:9
NOTE: In GoPro Studio’s EDIT Room, you can mix and match resolutions on a single
storyboard so it is not crucial that you change the image size in the conversion process.
However, if you are planning on taking your converted clips into other applications that
don’t let you mix resolutions, it’s a good idea to convert to the resolution that you’ll be
using in those applications.
MAKE 16:9
The MAKE 16:9 option appears as a checkbox when you select a new IMAGE SIZE of
1080p or smaller and the source video has a 4:3 aspect ratio. When checked, it scales
and stretches the 4:3 image to fill a 16:9 frame.
