Action cam

I finally got to use my action cam this weekend. I didn't realize it was on 3 minute intervals, going back and watching some of the footage of how you work a bait is awesome. I missed a good bit of footage due to the battery died. When I plugged the card into the computer it popped up and recommended a app to get for editing. My question is the app worth it or is there another way?

Are you talking about the GoPro app? If so, I wouldn't bother. Its a okay app for the beginner, but, as you figure it out, you will start to wonder why the GoPro app cannot do what you want. I use Adobe Elements - Photoshop and Premier comes with it for $100 - $200 I think it was. Those versions of the software are the cut back versions, but, for me its plenty. To be honest though, I wish I never would of purchased my GoPro - It is now back being repaired due to over heating and locking up. If I was to do it over - I would look at Sony stuff.

Side note - Once you get all that figured out - You will start looking at a faster computer. I just built a video editing computer with 16 gigs of ram, 32 gig video card.
