This is a fast tutorial to make you use GoPro HD cameras footages in Apple/mac(FCP/FCE/iMovie) for editing without any transferring issues.

So you’ve shot a bunch of footage on your GoPro or DSLR camera...now what? Since the H.264 file format used in camera is not designed for editing, you should convert your files into the GoPro file format. This format was specifically designed for editing and is compatible with most popular non-linear editing applications (iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Premiere, AVID, Vegas, etc.).
