Got GoPro, now what do I use to edit?

Sony has a special on until January 31, 2011 on their "Imagination Studio Suite" for $99 instead of $179. It includes Vegas Movie Studio Platinum, Sound Forge Audio Studio, DVD Architect Studio, Acid Music Studio, Photo Go and more. Really everything that you would require to get started at a great price.

I have found DaVinci Resolve to be incredibly useful and capable, even in the free version - the premium may well be worth it for the extensions, effects and cleanup capability, but, as is, it works very well.
One that I was very surprised by for an inexpensive "color corrector" is Aqua Color Fix. Works on video and photos, and does a bang up job restoring reds to images - for $30, it was definitely worth it to me, and, apparently there is an upgradecoming that will let you process in bulk.

LumaFusion on an iPad works very very well and is inexpensive.

This thread is 14 years old, but still relevant.

I use ShotCut, which is a Free and Open Source editor and find it works just fine. Had to watch a couple toutorials to get started, but find it to be very capable.

On a Mac, iMovie is no cost and simple to use. I started with that and moved to DaVinci Resolve. Took a couple of their free classes and found the Intro class most useful as a beginner.

If you're on linux, Kdenlive works well.

I am glad you mention ShotCut. I like it very much. You can edit color, white balance, zoom, slo mo, etc., like with those expensive video editors for great price, FREE!

I learned how to edit my GoPro MP4 by watching ShotCut YouTube tutorials.

Here’s an example of my video editing using ShotCut:

I use Dive+ for color correction and iMovie for editing. I also have Davinci Resolve but its much more complex in my opinion.

I've been using Cyberlink PowerDirector and ColorDirector for years and got used to it.
