Default GoPro camera editing and stiching of files.

I recently picked up a gopro3 camera before I

left on a soaring vacation to Minden.



I did not have time to make a mount but I have quite

a few clips of hand holding the camera for 30-60 seconds

at a time and I would like to stich these together so it

will play as one video instead of 20 or more individual videos.



What software should I use? The gopro software or is there

something better/easier?



Next question formats, the gopro saves video in 3 formats, .THM, .LRV, and .MP4.



The .MP4 is the only one that plays on my computer, should I just

delete the other 2 formats of videos or is there a specific

purpose for the .THM and .LRV formats?



Thanks for any advice,

There are several very good inexpensive editing programs available that work well,CyberLink VideoDirector is inexpensive, easy and will do anything you would probably want. Of the four that I have tried and used successfully, I prefer Magix Movie Edit Pro. Most companies allow for free trial downloads while you are deciding what will work best for you. Also, programs are promoted for their large number of fades, transitions and special effects that are sort of useless for good video editing, there is much overkill that is not used. Simple is better-I think.
