How do I edit my movies?

Last Updated: Jan 07, 2012 11:46AM PST

While Contour doesn't offer any advanced editing options, there are a number of different third party applications that can be used to modify your movies. Since movies recorded by our cameras are in a .MOV format, any program that can handle .MOV files should also be able to edit the movies.

Here are a few programs that our customers have used to edit, add music, and insert titles to their movies.
Windows/Mac:
MPEG Streamclip

Windows only:
Lightworks  
Adobe Premiere Elements 10

Mac only:
iMovie
Final Cut Pro X

Editing movies that contain GPS data will destroy the GPS data. If you wish to keep that data you will first need to export the GPS data from the original movie and then import that data after you have finished editing. To learn how to export and import GPS data, see below.
