There are hundreds of Gopro "best settings" videos on youtube and every single one uses different settings !!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have had my GoPro for a year and just now am able to use it more effectively because of this video! I use iMovie to edit my stuff. As someone very electronically challenged I really appreciate all the step by step instruction and explanation!

thanks a lot, I want to film probably my last vacation with my grandpa. he is getting old and I want to remember it, with your help i can capture all the greatest mmoments

At last....Been watching tons of KZread videos to get this subject explained to me without success. You are a star, I now understand the settings. Thanks a bunch

Very useful info, actually explaining what settings you prefer and the reasons, rather than a lot of youtubers who just say what each thing does.

Thanks for this explanation vid! I bought my HERO5 two months ago and I never realized I could change all those ProTune settings on the GoPro itself.. I still thought this had to be done in some GoPro software. Stupid me :) Oh and I am using Sony Vegas to edit my footage, love this piece of software! :D I used to work a lot with Premiere but I always found it too complicated to work with. Now, comparing Vegas to Premiere, I do realize they are both as powerful but I prefer to work with Vegas.

Dude, I am 58 and I wish my kids were still near me because any piece of tech stuff I used to just give it to them and they would hand it back in 10 min. and tell me more than i could drink in at one time. But....they are all grown and gone so I am glad your here! :) I am just beginning. I work in the fitness industry as Club Ambassador and that just means I connect with clients and keep them involved and appreciated and have fun. I started a "book of heroes" (name of brand is Heroes Fitness) ... it's just the stories of whoever will participate. But we found people would rather do a 30 sec clip than to sit down and type out a few paragraphs. I just need to learn how to use this thing and the only thing I can see is, turn it on, play with it and keep watching your videos lol....I don't see a place for an external mic but I am also needing the most simple editor. I have the gopro program on my ios phone so unless you say otherwise...I think I will try it first since I am just beginning anyway. Wish me luck! lol Any advise is so welcome!!!!

Hey, this is 10 months ago, but if you haven't got your hands on some good editing software, get Davinci Resolve, it's the best free editing and color-grading software out there. Then pop into youtube 'basic DaVinci resolve editing' and away you go ;) Good luck!

Yup, that's aperture/depth of field etc.. get a camera with interchangeable lenses, is the most basic way to answer that. In basic terms, there's a lower number on lenses such as 1.4, 2.8 or higher at 16.. it's sometimes marked with a letter f, like f1.4 etc.. the lower the number, the more blur. Basically that number tells you the amount of length that is in focus.. say your focus is tight at 2 feet in front of you, the f number is at 2 feet and up to the f number is how far past 2 ft it is still in focus. Please note that I am using simplified examples and not the actual measurements. A 28mm f1.4 lens is not measured in feet. Hope this helps

Thanks from France Ryan. Your video is perfect for a good understanding and use of the Hero 5 settings. I do use Gopro Studio for editing.

This was very helpful! I am now subscribing. Thanks for the information.

This was very helpful! Thank you!

Thanks for the in depth look at the GoPro Hero 5 settings. I just recently purchased a Hero 5 Black and was looking for some more info on the different settings. I really don't have an editing preference yet. I'd love to hear more about the different options that are available. Anyway, keep up with the great content.

will definitely follow these tips

Excellent advise! Thank you so much. Very informative and useful. Appreciate.

Thank you ! I bought the hero 5 and started filming - no clue what i was doing. :-) What happens is that the footage in the cutting progress is just not as i wanted it to be. So now, trying to get deeper into the settings, to have a good end product, your video really helped. I believe that this is a really good camera for all kinds of filming. Its just all about the settings and the handling. I subed. You tutorials are very understandable for beginners like me. i subed :-) All the best !

Using Final Cut Pro 10 and have been very happy with the results. I did some videos of a vintage drum event combined with a slider and it worked very well. Appreciate your knowledge and videos. Cheers, Pete

Awesome and very clear explanation. Thanks!

Thanks for the informative vid, I learnt some good stuff like how to save power consumption, and shooting in 4K for a better 1080p product. 👍

Very helpful video! Thanks! I've recently upgraded to FCPX and am working my way up the learning curve with all the cool editing tricks I can do. I'm glad you recommend GoPro color mode. Most pro users recommend flat mode which requires color correction to make it look right, and I can never make the color look natural.

awesome video, by far the best on gopro settings! thanks for the good explanation

Seriously an awesome video. Thanks for all the information!

AE for post (levels/curves/auto contrast), thanks, your more knowledgeable than most

This is a big help for us! thanks! very informative!

Very Helpful.. thanks for the info!

Just bought an old Hero Black 5 , just suscribed and this video is really helpful, thanks for your effort in giving out this helpful info, saves tons of hours.

thank you so much for this video. I am new to gopro, even though I have had the thing for nearly a year! There are so many people with so many different ideas on what to do I was so confused. I have now bought an external mic because i realised after making a video the sound quality was totally awful, no matter how and what i did, so with that fixed ,now I am able to go forward .. thanks so much for the hints and recommendations, I am going to be trying them out this week.

GREAT video! Keep this Go Pro series going! Show us how to shoot great video in lots of different scenarios.

Hi, great explanation of settings. I'm editing my home videos with sony vegas 13 version.

Excellent info and clearly explained. Oh! and use FCPX

this was so so so helpful!!! thank you!!

Great product!!! Would buy again.

thanks bro.. will try this settings on our outdoor training.

definitely subscribing. you know ur stuff and u somehow keep me calm :p im struggling to get my settings right

Thanks for the video. I just got into the video editing realm. I have several different gun channels on here and I usually just let my knowledge and skill draw the intrest but I have recently decided to invest some money and time into learning how to edit to take my channel to that next level. I'm just editing in iMovie, using the GoPro to get first hand shooting footage and voicing over, also adding in segments that were filmed on a different camera until I get my mic for the GoPro.

Thanks man for this video 😊

Thank you for the very informative video. I just got my Hero5 this morning and now have it set up. I will start playing with it tomorrow. Previously I used my Hero3 White. To answer your question about editing, I have used GoPro Studio and Adobe Premiere Elements 8.

Great advice thanks man!

I am just now learning how to edit videos and use Premier Pro. I have taken tons of video up skiing and have only published a couple, mainly from my iPhone. Learn, learn, learn. Thanks you helped out a lot.

thanks for your tutorial Ryan. I just got my Gopro 5 Hero Black and am playing around with it. The settings you recommend do look pretty good. I use Cyberlink Powerdirector 15 for my editing. I actually want to use the GoPro to shoot the coming total eclipse. I will be using my Canon Camera (with Baader solar filter) for the photographs but also wanted to record a video sequence of it as well using the GoPro. Going to have to try a number of settings to see what works out best for the changing conditions of the eclipse.Thanks again!

Any recommendations on setting for low light/night? Love to understand and thanks, this was a great video.

I'm a motovlogger from India .. I was using the Sj cam but recently upgraded to go pro hero 5 black ; This video was really helpful specially the color part.

Very helpful! Thank you so much bro :)

Great video, thanks for this.

A co-worker found a GoPro Karma in his neighbor's tree. The neighbor let him have it and he brought it to work and I eventually bought the drone AND the Hero 5 that was still in it. I don't have a controller for the drone so I am focusing on the camera itself for now. It works great so far. I haven't put it to a real outdoor test though. I have been using Cyberlink Powerdirector for all my previous videos regardless of what camera. I am still learning about resolution and your explanation was very helpful. I hope Cyberlink will be good with this because I really like it. Thanks

Hello. Tks for great information. I am still newish in learning about go pro. Had a hero 3 silver and just bought a gopro hero 5 black. ......love it. I am using Premier Pro. Lots to learn but getting their. :) Going to search for you video that shows how you mounted your better mic. Hope you have a video on that. Cheers!

Great video, This actually helps a lot hearing information from someone who knows what they are talking about lol

I use Video Studio X10. Works great for me. Never touched the standard protune settings but I will tryout your settings to see what it does. Thx

Thank you for your grrat video! Subscribed!

Great tips man. Im editin my gopro footages on sony vegas.

Dear Ryan this is a very nice movie, thank you

Excellent video

Really enjoyed this video you covered everything and Explained why you use the settings. but can you pretty please make an video on using the Time lapse settings on the Hero5.☺ great Video 2 thumbs up.

I'm using adobe premiere elements 15, thanks for the tip.

Good tips👍🏾

I’m all a bit new to GoPro & only done a few short family holiday videos. But I really want to get back into capturing more footage. I’ve watched a ton of videos today on tips of shooting and settings, but found this video super useful on the settings side to have my hero5 on. It would be great to see what you would edit on or would suggest to invest in for the occasional GoPro user, some basic skills or guide to what software to use & any tutorials would be so helpful. It’s one thing filming, but another editing, which takes forever. I’ve only used windows movie maker, which done a nice and simple job, but seemed pretty basic, once I got the hang of it. But thanks for the tips on this video, really knowledgable and explained so well.

Jamie cheers Jamie. For PC users look into Sony Vegas for editing. Or Sony movie studio. Its been a long time since I’ve edited on a PC. I’ve been using adobe creative cloud for a long time but it’s a pretty steep Pay Wall for a casual user. Maybe adobe premiere elements? Again really unsure cost with all of these.

Yeah I’ll look into those options then, thanks a lot. I did start using the GoPro editor, but found any footage I have from my iPhone (videos) I couldn’t seem to use in addition to my hero5 footage, so assumed GoPro was there own footage only. So why I moved onto Windows movie maker, which I could use all on, but like I say, was very basic. This is definitely one area I want to improve, especially the filming on GoPro. I guess one thing I have also struggled with is using at night and low light, but I believe this is GoPros down side generally. Appreciate the reply. Thanks

Nice video, good informations for me. Appreciated, thank you.

Thank you. Very helpful video. Any video editor you can recommend for easy editing?

Hey Ryan, thanks a lot for the amazing video, and great explanation . Could you please give me tips about what settings to use on GoPro 5 black to shoot kind of action video about a car [camera be placed inside] and what external microphone to use to record high decibels of exhaust sound [ mic will be mount next to exhaust pipes ] .thank you so much , have a wonderful day

Hey mate, grate tutorial. I will subscribe. I'm using AE for my edits. Kip it up mate!!!!

thanks for share

Great tips in your video. Im still using iMovie for my video editing. It's maybe time to look at up grading to a more advanced program, just not sure which way to go with those options.

Oh thank youuuuuuuuu❤

I'm late to the show but... I plan to use my GoPro Hero 5 Black simply for outdoor recording of my hikes, canoeing, camping etc so all I'm looking for is simple clean video and good sound. I have opted for an external mic with the GoPro mic adapter. My editing software, which I've used for years now is CyberLink PowerDirector. Mostly straight out of camera with a few tweaks here and there. Nothing overly complicated...

Thanks for the video! What beginners video editing software do you recommend??

I Really liked the video, I am trying to learn my GoPro Hero 5. I can be confusing. Thank you

Thanks for the info and the explanation ! I am amateur on this, and I'd like to to interviews to my sons with my Go Pro 5, any sugestions for a mic ? Thanks again

nice video....great content

Good info. I use LumaFusion app on iPad Pro to edit.

I have the Hero 4 Silver & the Hero 5 Black! Editing with Premiere Pro. The Auto White Balance is really accurate and versatile nowadays! 4.7 with 60fps works well as an acquisition setup! The Hero 4 silver has that connector where you just plug a little dongle in and I can use a hardwired shotgun, lavalier or wireless mic with no problem! The Hero 5 Black there's a modification once you put it in Stereo that you can surgically drill three holes in the case which will let the microphones here much better! So switching back and forth berween both cams gives me great interesting and closely matched Audio & Video!

Thanks for tutorial Gopro is good

Nice! 👏

Nice video!! Currently paused my channel because waiting for my audio gear. I used gopro too for my channel as it is small & the easy to manage. Currently edited my videos using hitfilm, just a free software & still saving to upgrade to premiere pro

this totally helped me, but right now im struggling to find the right settings for lowlight on my hero5, what settings (ISO,fps, etc) can you recomend? thank you (new sub)

Hi Ryan, great video. I have tried out your settings and it has transformed the look of my own recordings. My question to you, what would you change and to what, for recording a fireworks show, and recording on a roller coaster?

@RyanTimms

7 жыл бұрын

Someone else recently asked me about fireworks via email. I have never tried, but I'd imagine taking shots of fireworks with a gopro is extremely difficult. That being said I would recommend a low ISO and a high shutter speed. for fireworks. As for rollercoaster, the settings above should work just fine for that. Just always think about your end product and how you will "deliver" or post the video. if youre going to end in 1080 try filming in 2.7 or 4k and downsizing in post.

I can’t thank you enough!

I’ve ordered Adobe premier elements, after watching a few reviews. Wish me luck 👍🏻

Thanks for the video! I'll definitely be trying out these settings. I have a question to answer your question. I've been using iMovie to edit my videos and when publishing to YOuTube the audio gets distorted and choppy. So I've stoped using my GoPro. But I just started with LumaFusion, so hopefully in conjunction with these settings the AV will be much better. Have you had or do you know the cause for the choppy audio? Thanks again!

The best free video editing and colorgrading software, Da Vinci Resolve 15 is my favorite.

Question you may know. Are you able to export your videos from your GoPro 5 into an IPad PRO 2018 using the USB-C cable? My IPad doesn’t find the videos and cant fina a solution... Thanks for the great video - really learn a lot!

Great Video, I race slot cars and want to video all the races because i do some pretty big races, and im new to the GoPro 5 black, i need a link to a good editing service as well ?

thank you for video what do you recomend me for las vegas at night all settings at 4k please

great!

Ryan I am a photographer and I want to start doing vlogging in the field. What would you recommend regarding audio? Should I have an external lav mic and use an audio recorder and sync the audio in post?

I edit my videos on Photoshop ... and I love it!!

Love your video thanks but can I upside-down device like hang on my neck while I am running (?freehand) what video will be

Wondershare Filmora, thanks for your tips......

How’s it going Ryan how’s everything. I wanted to ask you without editing in post which is the best settings that come out best for cinematic look straight from the GoPro. My videos look grainy and not so clear whereas I have a friend with a older hero + and his video looks twice as clear.

Using Adobe Premier 15. Just getting started with this program. Also, do you know how to take out the noice when holding the camera? Sounds everytime you try to move hand och direction.

Subbed!

Hell yea. ♥️

hello and sorry they gave me a 5..even if old I find it fabulous ... I would like to ask you for the slow motion, is there a button on purpose? I don't understand how to do it .. thanks and best wishes

Regarding your inquiry on video editing, a good editor for the average person is Movavi. A one-time 50 dollar download from Amazon. I have used the big brands and have found Movai to be more reliable and practical. Enough features, such that it will take a couple of years to figure them all out.

Using my GoPro 5 Black to capture my road bike rides. Also using GoPro Quik to edit my clips.

In terms of the battery. Have you tried non-gro brand batteries? If so do you find them as good as gopro hero 5 and/or would you recommend for them or against.

Thank you so much for the video. I am mostly a audio post production guy, but I'm starting to do a lot of video post production in Adobe Premiere. I've been asked to shoot some interviews/presentations on a green screen and was considering buying some type of DSLR camera, but I have a Go Pro hero 5. Can I use a Go pro hero 5 for green screen presentation shoots? Can you recommend some settings? I will be recording the audio from lav mics to an external recorder and syncing it to the video in post. Thanks!

@RyanTimms

you CAN use the go pro, but consider using something like a DSLR. the GoPro uses a relatively weak codec, so keying out all of the green screen in premiere will be difficult. You want something with a much higher bitrate if possible.

Hi man! First of all, congratulations for your videos..they're helping me very much! Let me introduce myself...I'm an Italian youtuber and at the moment I'm using my gopro hero 5 for bike rides and motovlogging (I have already bought a Boya external microphone but pretty soon I guess I'll take the rode smartlav, which is absolutely better at all!). I have a question for you: right now I'm recording also vlogs in my garage but I was looking for another external mic (a directional one) for improving my video's audio quality...The choise is between the rode video micro and the rode videomic pro.. What do you recommend to me? I watched also other videos on youtube and I understood that actually the rode video micro has a better quality/price ratio compared to the video mic pro...and in my opinion the video mic pro costs 100€/$ plus but I don't see all this difference...what do you think about that? (Sorry for my not excellent english 😂) P.s. If you have time I was wondering if you want to talk on facebook because you're very brilliant in this field and I think you may help me :)

Emiliano Salino hi there. Thanks for the long comment. Unfortunately I am very ill at the moment so need a tiny bit of a break lol. But you can email me at ryanbtimms@gmail.com I haven't used the micro or smart lav but if you are concerned about budget I think the micro is a good option. Filming in the garage might be your issue with the sound. Try in a room with more stuff in it (bedroom or closet) just to test the sound. It's likely just lots of sound bouncing around the garage than a crummy mic. Hope this helps!

@EmilianoSalino

yeah you've been very helpful! In this moment my problem is exactly the budget so I think I'm gonna buy the video micro (also because about microphones and sounds I'm not so good so maybe starting with this microphone that is not the top and it has limited regulations could be easy for me) ... maybe in the future I'll buy the video mic pro :D I have already tested the gopro's on board mic in many places like you suggested me but my intention was to take a directional microphone to solve the sound boucing (and I hope I'll fix this problem)...thanks for all! Get well soon :)
