Trim/Cut and Convert Gopro MP4 files to AVI, WMV, MOV, etc

As the best "wearable" adventure video/photography camera, the new GoPro
Hero 3 continues the legendary line with three new models. Now the
entry-level White Edition supports 5MP still capture with 3 fps burst
and 30fps 1080p video, the middle-range Silver Edition spots 11MP stills
with 10fps burst, and the premiere model the Black Edition features a
12MP camera that can shoot 4K video at 12fps or 1080p video at up to 60
fps.

GoPro Hero 3 records video in H.264 and saves footage as .mp4, which is
a good streaming media format for sharing with iPad, Android devices and
posting to YouTube. There's a problem though. When you wear a Gopro
camera and let it roll for an hour, it results in enormous files with
only a few minutes of really good footage that you really want to keep,
so you may need to import the Gopro MP4 video to Windows Movie Maker or
other editing app for rough cutting and special effects, while the
editing app is likely to reject the Gopro .MP4 because it's not a
editing-friendly format.

Here I'd recommend Pavtube Media Magician, best Gopro Video Converter to
anyone that is seeking for an easy solution to keep only the good bits
and delete the rest from Gopro .mp4 video. This is not a substitute for
full-featured video editing software if your goal is professional
looking videos. If you're just doing home movies of summer vacation for
the family, and you want to take an hour's footage and extract only five
minutes' worth for fun, this makes it very quick and easy to do that. It
also does a "conversion" and lets you exports editing-friendly format
for Windows Movie Maker, Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, etc. Below is a
short guide showing you how to cut out junks from Gopro .mp4 and export
AVI, WMV, MOV, etc video.
