GoPro Studio immediately crashes handling 4K files
“Hi, guys, I have got a bundle of XAVC S 4K files from my friend which I would like to edit in GoPro Studio. These files are taken with a Sony camera. Every time I try to import, GoPro Studio immediately crashes. I am able to edit MOV files from my Nikon camera but Sony XAVC S 4K files just won’t work. Does anyone else have issues like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!”
