GoPro's raw format is h.264 codec and the mp4 file type. Up to now I have been editing that format straight into VP without converting it to "GoPro CineForm AVI" through GoPro Studio (which you must in order to edit the footage in their editing software).
Are there any good purpose to convert that raw footage before importing it to VP? This Cineform format is HUGE (probably uncompressed), but will that format give VP an easier time while editing it and make previews and such?
Any thoughts?
