Step 1: Get the Gear

Download Gopro Videos To Mac

You’ll need:

1. HERO8 Black

This video is about GoPro and how to import video. This video will show you how to hook up your gopro and where to import the video to. GoPro Studio software makes it easy to turn your GoPro clips into awesome, professional-quality videos. Drag-and-drop GoPro Edit Templates help fast-track you to an incredible video. The music, edit points, slow-motion effects and more have been dialed in—all you have to do is replace our clips with yours. Okay, this works on a Mac; set GoPro to video (otherwise the Mac will see it as 'stillphoto' and do nothing for you.) Click on the round Mac app called 'Photo' and then plug in the USB cable goPro/Mac. Then the Photo app will see all of your photos and videos. Create a new folder (or project- whatever) and import. Does this have to be so.

2. A USB-C cable (the one that came with your GoPro, for example)

3. Your computer

4. A GoPro mounting option, which leads us to Step 2

PRO TIP: Make sure your HERO8 Black is running the latest camera firmware, available here or prompted when paired to the GoPro app.

Step 2:Set Up the Point of View

GoPro Webcam is compatible with all existing GoPro mounts, so you can get creative with points of view. Yes, you can achieve a standard webcam view by using the Magnetic Swivel Clip to attach the GoPro to your monitor or set up a Shorty tripod on your desk. But this is a GoPro, so use it like a GoPro! Get creative, have fun and try something new. Some of our favorites are:

1. Jaws Flex Clamp – This bendable, clampable mount can provide an over-the-shoulder view if you’re doing a training where it’s helpful to see your screen.

2. Magnetic Swivel Clip – The magnet part of this mount is clutch for getting creative. Want to go live from under the hood of your car? Or chat with the fam while cooking? This magnetic will securely attach to your range hood, and any metal surface for that matter.

3. Suction Cup – Much like the first two, the GoPro Suction Cup can stick to a surface like a window or shelving unit to provide a webcam POV unlike any other.

4. Gooseneck – Combine the Gooseneck with any of the aforementioned mounts (or any GoPro mount with a quick release base) and, voila, you have an extra-long, extra-bendy extension arm to loop and wiggle into any position. No hard-to-reach place will go unseen!

Step 3: Install and Launch the GoPro Webcam Desktop Utility

1. Download the GoPro Webcam desktop utility software to your computer, available here.

PRO TIP: GoPro Webcam desktop utility is currently available for macOS and as a beta for Windows users.

2. A GoPro icon will now appear in your status bar.
