I had a regular GoPro motorsports hero wide that I was having a blast with until a tree branch or something wiped it off my helmet this summer.![Face Icon Small Frown :face-icon-small-fro :face-icon-small-fro](https://www.snowest.com/forum/images/smilies/old/face-icon-small-frown.gif)
A few months ago I went out and dropped some $$ on a GoPro HD, 3 spare battery packs, and a 15 MB/S 32gig card.
Now when I bought it, I didn't have a clue what H264 was, or the complications it would bring me. I have since learned a little about what H264 is and how it works.
What I am looking for is help on how to go about editing my footage. From what I understand, I will need to convert the files down to AVI or MPG before I can use simple editing software to alter them. I'm not looking for anything extensive... just trimming, fades, adding music. I used to use Windows Movie Maker with the old GoPro.... something similar is all I need. Just looking to upload to Youtube for sharing, I'm not concerned with some quality loss.
I have spent countless hours researching, downloading software, and smashing my head on the keyboard trying to get something to work. Can anyone help? Obviously freeware is preferred, I'm almost $700 into this camera setup already and all I can really do is watch raw clips on my laptop.
Thanks in advance for any help!
