How to Convert Hero 3 MP4 to Premiere Pro for Editing

GoPro Hero 3 could be the world’s best and most versatile camcorder as capturing fabulous full HD footages in ultra-wide 1440p 48fps, 1080p 60 fps and 720p 120 fps. It comes out with a much smaller body size than its predecessors, while producing ever better video quality than others. However, some users complain that they’ve met problems as they wanted to edit Hero 3 1080p 60fps footages on Premiere, Premiere Pro CS6 included. It seems that Adobe Premiere Pro is not compatible with GoPro Hero 3 footages.

In order to check and find out the problems, Doremisoft R&D team has done some tests. They played GoPro 1080p .mp4 movies on some media players like Windows Media Player and QuickTime and found that the videos were played smoothly without any problem, but they failed to handle the footages on Premiere. After several attempts, eventually, Doremisoft drew a conclusion that once the video is captured in over 30 frames per second, Premiere will not recognize it. Users will need to convert Hero 3 1080p MP4 to Premiere Pro MPEG-4 with 30fps if they want to edit the footages on it.

Doremisoft recommends users to use a professional GoPro to Premiere Video Converter (Video Converter for Mac) for help.
