Professional photographer here, but just ordered my first GoPro (Hero 12 Black) and I just want to say this is an excellent video. I’m gonna watch this more than once. Really appreciate you taking the time to make this.

[@forestchaput]

Glad you liked it! Thank you.

[@Dr0ne024]

Man, what a good explanation seen alot but this one is far the best i’ve seen! Keep on going love to see more of this video’s. Thanks! 👍🏻

Super helpful! Thank you for this tutorial!

[@forestchaput]

You're so welcome!

[@Nomgoose]

Fabulous video! Just picked up my first GoPro for a vacation at the end of the week. Had watched some other videos that taught me a few of the settings and showed some examples of shots, but this was a great way to present the principles of filming with a GoPro to empower me to make more accurate choices with the settings. Major kudos and thank you!!!

[@forestchaput]

That's so great to hear! Happy filming on your vacation!

[@bobpickettradio]

Great job! Learned a lot of new info.

[@forestchaput]

Glad it was helpful!

Excellent tutorial

[@forestchaput]

Thanks for watching!

[@utubeagainalready]

I'm a 26 year DSLR still camera shooter. I'm brand new to video and GoPro. I've been watching many many KZbin vids. trying to learn GoPro settings. I found your video and it's the BEST! Not only do you show us settings but you tell us "Why"! to use a setting. Thank you sir!

[@forestchaput]

Thank you for watching! Best of luck with your photography and videography journey!

[@laurencerossi8693]

As many have previously stated: GREAT VIDEO! Just purchased mine (12) to use on next vacation coming up soon, and your video has allowed me as a GoPro Newbie to somewhat effortlessly properly set it up. Looking forward to your future videos to expand my GoPro knowledge. Keep up the good work.

[@forestchaput]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Satu649]

nice tutorial very clearly easy to understand ..just bought this hero12 and still studying how to use thank you😘

[@forestchaput]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thatfirst9423]

Hello, Great vid! Can you please explain if the camera has a setting to turn on automatically when something walks buy the lens and shut off when the motion stops? I think it is cause motion capture setting. So if you want to capture if a person walks on your property, but you don't want to record all day.

[@TheLandPirates1]

Awesome vid 🏋🏻‍♂️

[@forestchaput]

Glad you liked it!

[@explore_off_road]

Great video, thank you. I've learned a lot already, but this one fine tunes my knowledge. And It's great for folks that are new because most don't know what everything is or what the words (technical terms) mean. Great job, thanks again

[@forestchaput]

Very welcome!

[@mervbendall]

Great video & help as setting mine up for vlogging. hope you cover the mod 2.0 lens soon

[@forestchaput]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the suggestion!

[@bobmc4687]

Very well done video. 👍👍

[@forestchaput]

Thank you very much!

[@adhipatithosakaranggumenggeng]

thank you very much because the video has really helped me solve the problem that I didn't know about in my go pro. and now my problem is solved thank you very much

[@forestchaput]

You're welcome!!

[@art-team69]

Can you bring record settings to the main screen during recording? For instance I have quick capture mode and I want to see what the last settings are!

[@HarryOsirian]

Great video. Very well done 👏 ❤

[@forestchaput]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@HarryOsirian]

@@forestchaput taking notes for my upcoming trip to Iceland 👍🏻😇

[@marvinbarnes5687]

Thanks!

[@forestchaput]

Thank you!

[@urszulagroszek747]

Awesome video. Finally I am able to understand the camera. Can you post suggestions for underwater camera settings please.

[@forestchaput]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@BotGamer-nc8vf]

Can I frame my 9:16 vertical videos (wide fov) in hyperview in quik app ?

[@tonysimon8060]

21:58 why at this moment does the camera allow you to shoot at 5.3k at full frame and at 2x slow motion meaning 60fps but when you go to pro mode the options do not allow 5.3k at full frame at 60 fps?? So in easy mode you can actually shoot full frame at 5.3k at 60fps but not the same in pro mode?? I am confused

Thanks for the clear video, very helpful. For scuba diving would you recommend filming in standard or HDR quality?

[@forestchaput]

Most likely standard. You'd have to test it though.

[@mrziedonis4920]

Good video 👍Next video about time lapse settings .Please.

[@forestchaput]

Noted!

[@jimeuler2216]

Great video. Now I want to know what program to use for editing. We do ski trips and I want to develop a 1 day video and also a whole trip video. Insert pics, music and maybe text as the day goes along. What do you recommend to get me started? One guy suggested Adobe Premiere Rush.

[@forestchaput]

I like Premiere Rush a lot!

[@SomeHyena]

I just picked one up second hand for $240. I’m excited to learn as this is my first action camera.

[@forestchaput]

Awesome!!

[@1nJimid8tor]

Really great informative vlog! Been thinking of getting a Action Camera like a GoPro Hero 12 Black. For Road trips. But I do not have a PC. Just a Samsung Note 20 Ultra and would like to upload them to KZbin. Is it possible to upload them direct to a KZbin Account from the GoPro. Or only the GoPro Cloud. Thank You for making the Video!

[@forestchaput]

It sure is!

[@HarvL1]

Hi what settings would you recommend for using it as a dash cam? I’ve been using it for a week in my work trucks and it’s been nice so far.

[@forestchaput]

I'd go full auto so the camera can decide what the best settings are.

[@suneezhealthyself]

Best settings for vlogging on Vacation

[@sltravelguideruwan]

❤

[@antoinebusby7183]

Yep, easy mode for me! 🙂

[@forestchaput]

🙂🙂🙂

[@TodaysWildWest]

what do you think of the Insta360 Ace Pro?

[@forestchaput]

Not sure. I’ve never used one.

[@dennislarrisey1239]

Hi,If I use a cardo edge with the gopro 12 black,can you still use the phone while its connected to the gopro via bluetooth? Thanks..

[@forestchaput]

Not sure on that one!

[@dennislarrisey1239]

@RMSPtv hi again..I have just bought the hero 12 black..but if I do a slow mo,it Will not play on the gopro in slow mo,only normal speed...voice control only works now and then..also using the qwik app it loses connection..I am very disappointed...dont know if I have a faulty unit..cheers..

[@forestchaput]

Oh no! Sorry to hear that you're having issues. Reach out to GoPro support - they are awesome!

[@mtbboy1993]

33:15 What is L+ ? Is that a mode specifically for Lens Mod 2? Is the linear really no distortion? Older ones I could notice a bit distortion. It would be interesting to see a comparison. As a mountain biker it's important. To represent the trail how it actually is, not make it look easier. This is the main thing that makes me hesitate. Does it just crop in?

[@forestchaput]

Linear does a bit of cropping and de-distorting. Yes, there will always be a bit of distortion, but the camera tries to minimize it as much as possible!

[@mtbboy1993]

@@forestchaput Would be interesting to see examples of it. and how the L+ differs, is that just extra linear, less distortion or is it for the Lens Mod 2.0? If so that does not make sense to call it L+, so I guess it's a improved linear mode? I've not seen anyone compare or show this mode yet.

[@weqsas]

the go pro 12 don't record in segments any more? usually footage automatically has been cut for around 5 min clips but the new one don't do that

[@forestchaput]

No, it should record one continuous video.

[@josephsong7169]

It would be amazing if you could make some cinematic shots using GoPro, Thanks!

[@forestchaput]

I will try!

[@josephsong7169]

And pls teach us afterward hahaha, always wanted to make some cinematic videos not just sports and action @@forestchaput

[@utubeagainalready]

Do you have a video telling what "Looping" is? and what it's for?

[@forestchaput]

Looping will simply record a video that ends, then starts again and plays on an endless repeat.

[@BigTurtleSC]

how do i overlay garmin cycling stats on a gopro video? that is the one thing from preventing me from buying the hero 12...insta360 makes it very easy to do that

[@forestchaput]

I have no idea.

[@mtbboy1993]

Do the 4k files work in Resolve? Or do I need Studio?

[@forestchaput]

Yep! the 4k files should work with any editing platform!

[@mtbboy1993]

@@forestchaput I dout it will on Windows 8 and older. Due to not having the codec, atleast tha twas the case on hero 7. But I is windows 11 now anyway. On winn8 you needed a codec and it was free if you had a link developers used, but then it wasn't anymore, but you could not install it on windows 8 anyway only 10. But 11 has Hvec h.265 included. But in Resolve some file don't work from some cameras unless syou upgrade to Studio, like Sony A7 IV, it uses XAVC HS which does not work unless using Studio, only get audio, but XAVC S works.

[@Spica1000]

Well, I was going to get one, but having seen this it sure does look very complicated! Might have to thin about it for a while

[@forestchaput]

You can do it! The auto settings also work very well.

[@hpy2cre8]

Hmm, I don't have the Video option to change the global settings.

[@forestchaput]

Yeah, it looks like with a recent firmware update, those settings were moved into the settings for each individual mode.

[@leoburman]

I would like to shout inside of a private plane so we will see the instruments panel well exposed on the botton of the frame and we will see the outside in the upper frame not overexposed?instruments

[@mtbboy1993]

Are you a mtber? Do you have a mtb channel?

[@forestchaput]

Nope!

[@justBEingjada]

You don’t need the 2.0 lense waste of 100 bucks the 11 and 12 have all the abilities even more

[@forestchaput]

I like the 2.0. Haha.
