We’ve written in regards to the GoPro Quik app prior to now, and talked in regards to the options and capabilities of the platform; but additionally complaining noting that some options are solely accessible to paying customers.
This upgraded subscription provides two key options, whereas additionally having all of the options of the decrease tier:
- 500 GB (25GB on the usual account) Cloud Storage for Non-GoPro Footage
- HyperSmooth Professional® Video Stabilization
You possibly can try a aspect by aspect comparision between the 2 subscription choices on the GoPro Web site.
Added to the improved subscription choices, the Quik desktop app is now accessible to customers on Mac in addition to the present cell shoppers. This brings to a extra handy (for any detailed enhancing) type issue, the capability to test your footage, your routinely created spotlight movies and additional enhancing choices.
For me, the very best characteristic of the subscription is the automated add of video when plugged in and on Wi-Fi that your digicam is aware of. This add area for footage captured out of your GoPro is — on the time of publishing — limitless.
However the truth that the desktop app brings the total characteristic set of the cell app may be very welcome. GoPro Founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman spoke of this within the launch as we speak:
Quik’s auto-editing expertise represents a handy start line for brand new creators, and our extra superior enhancing instruments and ongoing developments in AI and pc imaginative and prescient guarantee pro-minded customers will take pleasure in enhanced functionality as we proceed to replace our apps.
The desktop app additionally implies that you’re in a position to get at your footage sooner. You don’t want to attend for Wi-Fi add, then downloading once more to the app and the hand off (by way of USB-C) is much faster than it has been prior to now.
Home windows customers, don’t fret; you’ll get your personal app later this 12 months.
Is a desktop app the final piece of the puzzle for GoPro to seize additional market share?
