One great feature that is only available with GoPro Studio (not Quik) is the ability to create a time lapse movie from singular images without having to use the ‘Time Lapse’ setting on the camera. You can also add templates, music, and title blocks to your videos. This software will allow you to do more advanced editing such as modifying the size, frame rate, and image quality. GoPro Studio is a more advanced version of Quik. Quik has other features like adding soundtracks to the clips, however you’re limited to 10 stock songs unless you sign up for a GoPro Plus account. It’s primary purpose is to help users quickly (hence the name!) upload content from the camera, make simple edits, and post it to Facebook or Youtube. In short, Quik is a lite editing software to help you access, manage, and share your content.

With the release of the HERO5 product line, GoPro split their editing software into GoPro Studio and GoPro Quik. In the past, GoPro Studio was the only desktop app available for photo and video editing. One solution would be using software like Handbrake to convert the video file from H.265 to H.264, but I consider that a "hack" as this really should work with my system spec.GoPro has always provided tools to help users edit their content.

The CPU usage is going through the roof and it's not using Hardware Acceleration. Playing HEVC H.265 videos using Windows Media Player and GoPro Quik then the 4k 60 fps video appears all stuttering and becomes a slideshow.
