GoPro for Beginners: How to Shoot & Edit Video with a GoPro (Udemy.com)

This was a good course. My GoPro is a newer version so some of the stuff didn't apply to my GoPro. It is still a good course though. It gave me a sense of what I can do with the GoPro. It gave a good run down of the editing, that is a part that I have trouble on. So i'll have to keep reserching the editing part. But overall, it was good!

i was really disappointed didn't realize it was on a GoPro 3 making this video very old. I have a Go pro 7 Hero that was totally different. also the main thing I wanted to learn was the editing however the GoPro editing app no longer works so Im back to square one. If it was more up to date He did a great job explaining things and I would have really enjoyed it and gotten something out of it.

This video course is so outdated. I have a GoPro Hero 5 which is totally different, but I was able to find the various features mentioned. My big problem is the editing software which is why I got the course. It is no longer available to the course is useless to me. I have some of Phil's other courses (photography) which I do like.

Phil is a great instructor however, the main reason I took this course was to learn GoPro Studio and it's no longer available for download. So while the information was great and can probably be generally applied to other editing software it leaves a beginner a bit adrift. That said, the course was certainly worth the fee and I thank Phil for all the work he's put into this presentation.

The first part is probably a bit too basic (a video on how to turn on the camera and how to delete the photos is quite useless... that info can be find on the user manual). The interesting part comes with the tutorial on how to edit and correct your videos with the GoPro application. One last problem is the camera used for the tutorial is quite outdated.

Updated again with 4 stars (from 3): Price tag has been altered. Original review: This is a GOOD course but you will not learn much (anything) that is not also described in the manual. However, Phil and his brother are doing a great job at explaining everything to you in a way that is both interesting and entertaining. The course provides all you need to know and will give you a very fist, nice overview on how the camera works. You will be able to use it right away when you get your hands on one! However, some stuff that could be improved in my opinion: Resolutions: For me it was a real eye opener to hear that different resolutions work better in different situations. Up until now I always thought higher/more is better! This course made me try things out by myself and ended up making me a better filmmaker with the GoPro camera. Thanks for that! I wished the course spent a little more time on this topic because I believe it to be quite essential to the camera. Menu Browsing Section: This is outdated. The menus look different on my Hero 4 Black. I also seem to have more options than what's explained in the course (It's a bit misleading putting a Hero 4 on the course image and then using a Hero 3 to explain the functions of the camera.

Really need updated instruction on Hero 5 model. This is what I found, course info indicated Hero 4, but videos are of Hero 3, which is even older than my camera. Good instruction on how to use all the settings for the camera. I did not give a rating of 5 because I don't use GoPro Studio (I use Premiere Pro CC), so I did not need 1/3 or so of the course. I may yet go back and look at using it for the future however, as you do provide a thorough instruction style. Thank you!

I bought a GoPro a year ago and have never used it because I didn't know how to, even the accessories were confusing and not to mention how do I edit any movies I make. The course has given me the knowledge to go for it and use it and I now can't wait to get out there and try using the knowledge gained from the great course.

this is a great course I have had my Gopro 3 for a few years now and have not come close to understanding and using it. The instruction on the basics are well done and using the GoPro editing will help me with that also. I plan to review this course multiple times Thanks. What is the next course?

As a former instructor of film and digital photography for many years (not video) I was immediately impressed with the high quality of the lectures as presented in this course material. The knowledge gained from this course got me through several difficult sections I had with the GoPro Studio 2.5 manual. I highly recommend this course for new comers to the GoPro world.
