This is a test of GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition Color and Clarity in my garden, direct from GoPro Studio. I shot this video in 2.7k wide angle 30fps in Protune mode. I imported it into GoPro Studio (free version from GoPro's website). I then converted it to Cineform format to obtain the highest possible quality. I edited in GoPro Studio to adjust color, brightness, contrast and sharpness - then exported to h.264 at 1080p. Normally I edit with Adobe Premiere Pro, but this time I wanted to do a full edit and export from GoPro Studio just to see how the resulting video would look on YouTube. I exported at 28 megs per second. The video played back on my computer screen look pristine - maybe some of the best quality I've ever shot with a Hero3 camera. The color grading was simple in GoPro Studio, but the results were very satisfying. You can break your video into short clips that allow you to set keyframes (up to 4 per clip) to adjust color and sharpness over time. If color is your main focus, then it might be a good workflow to do basic edits and color adjustment here, then edit and fine tune, adding titles and transitions with Adobe Premiere pro or other choice NLE.
