How to Create A Multi-Clip Edit in the GoPro App
Contents
Start an Edit
Choose which media you’d like to use for your edit. Select your media from any of the following areas within the app.
From the Home page -
Tap on the blue button in the bottom right corner to choose media from your app, phone or GoPro PLUS account.
Or
Download media from your camera and tap a suggested edit from the top of the page to launch the editor.
From the Media Gallery -
Use the select button or long-press on Android, to select media from your GoPro app gallery, then tap on the button on the bottom left corner to start editing.
From Download Screen (Android Only) -
After downloading media from your GoPro, Android users can tap the “Create a Story” button to launch the editor using the content offloaded from their camera.
More Info
- You can choose individual media items, or tap the checkbox next to the date header to select all of the media specific to that particular day.
- When passed to the editor, media is ordered chronologically, unless an order is specified.
- Multi-clip edits are limited to 75 media items or less.
- Media selected from GoPro PLUS requires connection to the internet.
Unsupported Media Formats
Timeline + Editing Media -

To ADD -
To EDIT -
Themes -
Each Theme has several Variations that give you the ability to fine-tune your edit. You can change variations by tapping on the pencil icon of the selected Theme tile. Try creating your own personal variation by mixing different fonts and graphics.
Music -
- You can tap the icon on the album artwork to adjust the starting point of the music track.
- Imported music can be removed from the app from Settings.
- It isn't possible to loop or import more than one song in a multi-clip edit, so if your track is shorter than your edit, there will be no music at the end.
NOTE: If the track is DRM protected it cannot be imported. Music bought on iTunes between 2003 and 2009 had DRM protection. This protection prevents the app from downloading the song to be used in your video.

Save, Export + Share
SAVE
When you’ve finished working on your story, tap the SAVE button in the top right corner. This will save your edits to the GoPro app’s home page.
EXPORT / SHARE
Note: If you are logged in with your GoPro PLUS account, videos that are exported to your phone will also be uploaded to PLUS automatically.
Keep in mind: now that the power of Quik is available in the GoPro app, your story drafts no longer expire. That means you can continue to edit your story as often as you like.
Crash Recovery
Were you working on an edit and your app crashed? Not to worry - you can recover your project and pick up where you left off! Please note that your project will be recovered based on your last confirmed change to the project. There is no autosave feature in the GoPro app.
You'll receive the following prompt when you relaunch the app:
