“GoPro Hero6 Black Compatible? I just ordered my GoPro Hero6 Black. I have never used one but I know I need a Video Software. The FAQs say compatible with Hero 4. Being new to GoPro 6 is PowerDirector 15 compatible with GoPro Hero6 and easy to edit or is there format challenges? “
“I was using previous versions of PD, and I installed v.15, with all the patches, and when importing GOPRO Hero6 videos 4k MP4; a message appears saying that there is a mistake opening the file due to probably broken file, or video protected. What’s the solution?”
Built on the existing form-factor of the HERO5 Black, the GoPro HERO6 Black action camera provides more processing power than the preceding model, while keeping to a familiar design. The optimized GP1 processor brings higher frame rates in 4K, 2.7K, and 1080p HD resolutions. Where previous models maxed out at 30 fps in 4K, the HERO6 Black can muster 60 fps for rendering smooth motion or even slow motion in timelines with slower frame rates. Other processor-intensive tasks, such as image stabilization, have also been improved in the HERO6.
PowerDirector prefers MPEG-4 and H.264 codecs instead of others. As we know, GoPro Hero6 MP4 footage are encoded with H.265/HEVC, which is not compatible with PowerDirector.
