The GoPro HD cameras like Hero2, Hero3, Hero4, etc. are familiar with everyone whoever has passion for sports and other outdoor activities. GoPro HD is the world's first true HD and best selling wearable camera to record sporting and other activities. The latest GoPro Hero4 Black allows you to record at up to 4K resolution at 30 frames per second.

“Got a GoPro Hero4 for days and I'm having some problems editing the footage. When I bring the GoPro video into Sony Movie Studio 13, they play choppy and really slow, let alone for editing. I’m seeking for the solution to the GoPro to Sony Movie Studio importing & editing issues.”

A little searching turns up the solution. Actually, Sony Movie Studio 13 has no ingest transcoder, nor timeline rendering. What does this mean? Since we were using footage from a GoPro camera (notorious among the editing community for stuttering due to its high compression), we had to use another program to transcode the footage into a usable format. You can refer to detailed Sony Movie Studio supported formats below:

Import: AAC, AA3, AIFF, AVI, BMP, CDA, FLAC, GIF, JPEG, MP3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, OGG, PCA, PNG, QuickTime, SND, SFA, W64, WAV, WDP, WMA, WMV

Export: AAC, AIFF, AVC, AVI, BMP, FLAC, JPEG, LPEC, MP3, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, OGG, PCA, PNG, TIFF, QuickTime, W64, WAV, WDP, WMA, WMV

Since Sony Movie Studio might not work with some GoPro Hero 4K videos due to the codec issue, to get rid of the trouble, we need to convert GoPro Hero 4K video to Sony Movie Studio preferred codec and then transfer the converted videos to Sony Movie Studio for editing. To achieve the goal, you can use Pavtube Video Converter, the best app that can help you convert 4K video to Sony Movie Studio compatible video with original quality.
