First, download the GoPro Quik app on your phone or tablet. If you have an Apple iPhone or iPad, you can download the app via the Apple Store. If you have an Android smartphone or tablet, download it via the Google Play Store.

On the home screen of the GoPro Quik app, you can connect your GoPro to your phone. Follow the steps in the app to do this. Once your GoPro is connected, you can control it via the app. You can start your recording, for example. You can also adjust the settings of your action camera. And your recorded images will appear in the app, so you can quickly watch them in the app. You can also easily edit them there.

You can find the edit tool in the 'Studio' tab. This tab is located at the bottom bar of the app. Then, tap 'My edits' at the top of the screen. If you've already edited videos, this is where you'll find them. You can start editing as soon as you tap the 'Create and edit' button.

On the next screen, you'll see an overview of all the videos on your memory card. Choose the desired videos. A blue frame will appear around it. Did you choose all the videos? Tap 'Create my edit'.

The videos will appear on the next screen in a row. There's a blue plus sign next to each video. If you tap this, you can edit the separate footage. You can shorten the video in the 'Trim' tab, for example. You can also select the highlights of your video here. With these highlights, the app will produce the end result. In this screen, you can add a filter to your footage as well. This makes it look creative. When you're done, tap 'Done' in the top right corner.

Did you edit all the separate footage? on the home screen of the edit tool, you can select the order of the videos, use a theme, and add music. Is your video too long? Trim it via 'Length'. Under 'Format', choose the aspect ratio of your video. Choose a square 1:1 aspect ratio for Instagram videos, for example. You can watch the result while you're editing if you tap the play button. This way, you know exactly if your video is what you want it to be.

If you're happy with the result, tap 'Save' in the top right corner. The app will now save your video. If you want, you can continue editing your video afterwards. You can now easily share the video via social media. In the preview, you can see 3 icons. If you tap the one in the middle, you can store your video or share it via social media right away.
