Importing GoPro Videos to Mac

Are you a GoPro enthusiast looking for ways to import your videos onto your Mac? You're in luck! There are several methods to do so, and we'll walk you through them in this article.

One method involves using Disk Drill, a data recovery software that can help you recover lost files from your memory card. To use Disk Drill, start by scanning your memory card for lost files. Disk Drill may pull up a lot of old files, so use the search bar and sidebar to filter the scan results and locate your GoPro data quickly. Once the scan is complete, click Review found items. Select your SD card from the middle pane (it may be labeled as “Generic Storage Device” if using a card reader) and click Search for lost data.

Another method involves using Apple's Photos app to import media. Although the Photos app has now succeeded it, those who use their much older Macs can still use it to import media. iPhoto is an old Apple utility app that allows you to store, view, and edit your photos. To import GoPro videos using iPhoto (or Photos), click Import files (highlighted in blue) to start importing videos to your Mac. Select or change the folder where you'll save a copy of the files by clicking Camera Import Location > Edit.

For those who prefer a more streamlined solution, GoPro Quik is an app that allows you to edit and import GoPro videos onto your Mac. To use GoPro Quik, launch the app (Finder > Applications) and connect your GoPro camera to your Mac using a USB cable. Make sure your GoPro is turned on before proceeding.

GoPro Quik for Desktop is no longer under development, but you can still use its legacy software. The basic features of GoPro Quik are available for free on Windows and Mac, making it a great option for importing and editing your GoPro videos.

In this article, we've covered three easy methods for importing GoPro videos onto your Mac: using Disk Drill, Apple's Photos app (or iPhoto), and GoPro Quik. With these methods, you'll be able to easily transfer your GoPro media and start enjoying your favorite moments on your Mac.
