GoPro Editing Lag SOLUTION!!!

Amazing tip!!! Would've NEVER thought of this.

Thanks.

loveandpeace.

Thanks for the tip about the smaller file’s already existing. I just assumed it was some thumbnail file that only plays in camera. That’ll be so helpful to just pull it for quick clips I want to send to Twitter without caring about 4K quality. 🤣 (and save data over 4G uploads lol)

I notice you edit on a Mac. I have a new 16” M1 Pro MBP now but I was test editing on an iPad Pro (Lumafusion) just fine. So I shouldn’t bother with the proxy stuff huh?

Great info Uncle Blackie Thanks!

Fishycomics has a fast way to rename those files. You can do them all at once

cracking video as always, do you ever consider lumafusion to edit, would love yo know your take on it

I just got a new cpu for my pc, now davinci resolve works amazing

thank you so much for this. i have had problems i didnt even think about this a solution, much appreciated

lol you actually had me thinking the lag in this video was because of my computer ;)

OMG, thank you so much for this. I just got my GoPro and have a decent spec computer, but was having a lot of issues with 4k editing. Was nearly giving up on my editing software, but thought I'd check to see if you had some advice (you helped me choose the GoPro with your videos). You came through for me! Thank you! Subscribed!

Windows 10 is not allowing me to change the LRV 'Type' to MP4. It only lets me change the 'Name'.

Excellent... good trick. Thanks Danny. Regards from Indonesia.

Can't I use a 1080p version of the video?

On my Hero9, I get LRV files I can use for proxy files when I record 1080p/60fps and 4K/30fps, but not 4K/60fps. Do the hero10 and/or hero11 generate LRV files when recording 4K/60fps? This setting is when they would be most useful.

Definitely a to do for my next project!

By far the most helpful video on the subject! I was frustrated when I first got the GoPro 11 because of the editing. I have a macbook 2016 which can handle 4k ok but this is very simple and straight forward! Thanks so much

I have a question. So so I followed the whole process of switching the LRV Files to .MP4 & after I did that the quality on the timeline looked the same. I then went to the original media folder from my library (on final cut pro) & I dragged and dropped the newly edited .mp4 files and then it seemed to work, however, my new video on FCP scaled HUGELY! what can I do to avoid this and not sure why it didn’t automatically read my files. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks again!

Whenever I go to the the gopro app the footage is lagging

Thank you.

Danny thank yo so much. This has saved a ton of time and saved me so much stress lol. Thanks man.

If I play video on quick app video is laggy but if I play the same video on media player, it works really smooth. It is quick app itself which can't support video file. Got HEVC so how come when I am watching on media player it works fine but quick app dog crap.
Any ideas?

Fooking Genius, Boi 😎

Hot tip: Download bulk rename utility and you can 'bulk' rename the GX/GL as well as the extensions from lrv/MP4...huuuuge timesaver!

Lol...there is no reason to make 2 folders. For example Shotcut and Davinci resolve see lrv files as proxy by default. Just copy mpeg and lrv as they are in folder and turn on the proxy in your program.

Thank you so much! Very helpful!!!

How do I fix the laggy video that is on my phone? I have a GoPro 11 and I have the quick app on my phone. When I downloaded my video and then try playing them….it’s very laggy….please help

Awesome

This is cool because proxys take AGES to create on my computer. And if the LRVs are already there.... why not just use them!

Wow i didn't know this. This whole time i was deleting the LRV files and creating proxies in premiere pro instead. This is so useful wow thanks danny!

I made my video followed Ur steps replaced the footage but it doesn't change the quality of the video.... the files don't update on the video editing program there already there I'm so annoyed with go pro what's the point

Thank you for this tip

My gopro 12 only shows the high res file in the folder when I connect to PC, is there anything I need to do in the settings to get low res files in the camera folder alongside high res?

Thank you!!

Thanks for the info. Great

I did this on my first video and it worked. The second time I did it it says media lost. Not sure what went wrong. I did save duplicates but hoping I don’t have to edit it all again lol

I must be doing something wrong.. when i change the LRV ext to mp4, davinci still wont let me import the clip

Thanks Danny I'll try that next time

Thanks, it's very helpful, and does the same method work with the files in thm?

Hahhaa you nailed the video intro and outtro

Thanks for this I’ll try it tomorrow.

very helpful - thank you!!

No Lrv files on gopro 12? Anyone know where and how to find them?

excellent - thank you. Will watch more of your stuff 👍

Do you know how to do it with the osmo action 4 I have the low resolution and high files but they already have the same name and I can’t find them when I click link proxy media

After 1 year of suffering, I finally found a solution Thank you so much.

There are some really good extra tips and tricks and things I may have missed down in the comments!!
