When I try to edit my gopro videos in Gopro Studio the quality gets really bad. I also uploaded them in Quik, where the videoquality is so good. Therefore I dont understand why the quality gets bad in Gopro Studio.
Does anyone know what I could do?

Hi there, could you explain a little better what you mean by bad quality? Bad colour, bad overall quality, ie pixelated?
What resolution are you choosing etc etc, also GoPro has discontinued studio so it’s time for a better editor.

When I view the clips on my mac they look good and the pictures are sharp. But after I have opened them in Gopro Studio and made a movie, the result are bad.
I didn´t know they has discontinued studio. Do you have any suggestions for a better program to edit my videos?

In the meantime, what are the settings that you are using in studio? In Step 1 you set the video resolution quality by using the advanced clip control. If you go to the menu and edit and then select Advanced clip control you will have more options. During step one you can choose film scan to for the very best quality then film scan 1 high medium and low. After doing the conversion and moving on to step two you can apply your edits.
In Step 2 you will get varied results depending on what type of color correction you apply to the video. Once you are done with your edit and move on to step 3 you will then need to pick your settings for export including the bitrate. I believe Studio only exports at a Max of 50 bitrate Which is less than what they hero6 black produces. It should still look good but there will be a little bit of a drop in quality.
What settings are you using in Step 1 and then in step three for the export? Additionally, what is the resolution and framerate of the original video?

Okay. It would be really nice if you could make a list of good editing-programs. Now i use Quik, but I would like to edit another place where I have more options, and could choose the length of the clips etc.

there are two I would recommend to try right off.
Simple and recommended by GoPro: VSDC http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor/download
Powerful but more complicated: DaVinci Resolve
