GoPro Quik for Desktop

You might be familiar with GoPro’s Quik app for iPhone and Android, and now they’ve come out with a desktop version. Quik App for Desktop works on a Mac or PC, and it’s a free download.

Basically, what it does is allow you to import your GoPro clips, select your favorite clips using a “Highlight” tag, and then it edits your video for you–including adding music. It’s pretty neat, and, as the name suggests, the process is pretty quick.

Pros for Quik App

As quick and easy as it is, there are a few drawbacks. But first, let me say: this is awesome and perfect for any first-time GoPro video editor. It’s SO easy to become frustrated and overwhelmed with video editing software, so for those who are new to it, it’s awesome. Just get your footage off your memory card, and out there into a watchable, shareable video. Done.

Cons for Quik App

You can only use GoPro content in the Quik App – you can’t import footage from your phone or DSLR and edit within Quik App for Desktop. Not a big deal, after all… this is a GoPro app. Of course, they want you to utilize it with GoPro content!

You have 10 songs available to you for free and have to enroll in GoPro Plus in order to access their additional song library. Also, you can’t import your own music to use.

You are also limited to the number of Highlights you can make. For a 30 second video, you can only tag 10 Highlights.

There are more details and “how to’s” in this video that goes along with the blog post. Leave me any questions or comments below!
