FILE FORMAT
GoPro CineForm files can be saved as Windows AVI files or QuickTime MOV files. The
FILE FORMAT option in the Windows version of GoPro Studio lets you choose which of
these format ‘wrappers’ you would like to save your files into.
NOTE: QuickTime must be installed in order to create QuickTime MOV files.
TIP: If you’re not sure which format to choose, consider the fact that most Windows
applications use AVI files and most Mac applications use MOV files. So for most
Windows-based workflows, its best to leave this setting at the default AVI format, but if
you’re planning on using these files on a Mac, select the MOV format.
QUALITY
The QUALITY setting affects the data-rate used in the converted GoPro CineForm file.
The data-rates will always vary, based on the complexity (image detail) in the source file,
but you can choose whether to use Low, Medium or High.
The default is Medium which will be a very high-quality video file. You can choose High
quality, which may or may not end up creating a significant visual quality difference in
the image. If you know you need to make significant changes to color in a clip, the extra
quality might be beneficial but it will create a larger file and may take longer to process
when you choose to convert. Even the Low quality setting is a relatively high-quality
video file yet takes up less space on your hard drive.
REMOVE FISHEYE
GoPro cameras are famous for their wide-angle look. This is beneficial if you want your
image to have a large field of view (FOV). However, in some situations you might want to
reduce the FOV that you get when shooting in one of the camera’s wide modes.
Checking the REMOVE FISHEYE option applies a “lens adjustment” to the converted
GoPro CineForm file giving it a smaller FOV.
REMEMBER SETTINGS
To process future clips in your Import Bin with the same settings, check the REMEMBER
SETTINGS box before closing the Advanced Settings window.
