As it stands its certainly worth it if you use such cameras.
Otherwise, there are better editors out there.
So, we took the iOS app, identical to the Android version, out for a spin.
Quik’s trimming tool makes video editing very simple
There are two subscription levels: Quik' costs $2 a month or $10 a year.
There’s even guaranteed faulty camera replacement, and 1080p live streaming.
GoPro Quik: Interface
The interface is designed to be worked solely in a phones portrait orientation.
Quik works well on a phone, but it’s excellent on the tablet
Tablets are more versatile and the interface will resize itself in any orientation.
It makes it very convenient on a phone.
But Quik is more than just a video editor.
Editing is intuitive - just tap and move clips around, although some actions do require more tapping than necessary
Its also a link to your GoPro equipment.
This isnt (and doesnt aim to be) thebest video editing software.
This is for quick, simple jobs, with a few flashy effects.
Apply effects, colour correction, etc, all from the contextual tools at the bottom of the screen
GoPro Quik: Tools
Playing with the app youll notice quickly that its designed for simplicity.
Thats a lot of tapping, when competing editing apps let you do that directly from the Timeline.
Having said that, you have a nice number of options, such as good color correction.
Retiming is surprisingly easy to use, and powerful to boot
Making a change after youve saved your project doesnt work.
Deleting it doesnt reset the count either.
Think of Free as a very limited trial run.
Some tools will only work with footage taken with a specific GoPro camera
The best thing Quik has going for it, is its integration with GoPros hardware.
A subscription makes perfect sense if you use a lot of GoPro gear.
You get great discounts and even replacement protection, with the app just being a bonus at that stage.
