Hello again guys - Lots of good videos are out here and on the internet.  Any recommendations on which one is easy to add audio to the silent movies I've been taking with my P2v+v3?  I know there are a lot out there but any experience on an easy one for PC and MAC?

Thanks

Easiest is probably  GoPro Studio  and it is free.  Just ignore the message to import from your cam when you open it.

GoPro Studio is pretty easy, but it won't let you trim clips that are not taken with a GoPro.  Or at least if there is a way I couldn't find it.  I have been using Cyberlink PowerDirector13.  Works pretty good.  A lot like the GoPro Studio, but not free.  

I'm a big Adobe fan for many years.  I always use Premiere Pro for my video editing.  I think you can also use Audition to add audio.  I use Audition exclusively for audio editing, but a few years back they added a lot of video capabilities (that I haven't used).

Thanks Friffy1.  I'll look into those.

It lets you trim clips.  I did it with movies from Phantom 2 Vision+ v3 no problem.  Full editing, no problems.

Once you import content, when you view there are two buttons that look like brackets.  The left one defines the start point of a 'clip' and the right one defines the 'end' point of a clip.  Once defined you have to 'convert' that.  Follow the tutorial and it will be clear.  Very easy to use.

Thanks for that Gary.  I used quicktime included in MAC to do the trimming but don't know what else I can do in these.  I usually never had any reason to play with video but now its been fun doing this.

Thanks.  I'll play with that tomorrow since I'm in here with snow anyway

And it is easy to add audio with GoPro Studio.

Tolanid,

You can use the free GoPro Studio software to trim, edit and add audio to dJI videos .... You don't need anything else .. Very simple software to use .... And free

Thanks TCMAC.  I got it downloaded so will stick to this.  

What kind of soundtracks do you usually add in?  Is there any legality concern that  you guys are aware of?

Thanks Oakspi.  What kind of sound do you usually put in and where do you get it from?  Any legality issues if you post it online.  It shouldn't matter if its for your personal use but I wonder if you post it online like FB or Youtube?

I can't remember exactly where I got it on the internet.  You might want to ask others as I am new to the music thing. That was my second edit of my first video.

I find the music I want and convert it to just save the music to my music folder and then select it to apply to my video.

http://www.youtube-mp3.org/

Put the video address in the top line and convert,  Download and save the music.

Thanks Gerry for your help sir.

I do recall it said "royalty free" on the site

Thanks      

Well I went back and tried to clip video with the GoPro studio and it worked fine on the Phantom video.  So I stand corrected.  I'm still partial to the CyberLink prowerdirector though.  Probably because that is what I learned to use.  Nice feature with the software is the director zone.  It's a sharing library for music clips, and transitions, etc.  nice feature.

In the edit window, under the preview there are two buttons that look like brackets.  The left one marks the clip beginning and the right one marks the clip end for trimming.
