Though GoPro has had the Studio app for quite some time, they've just recently introduced an app that is even easier to use.

The new GoPro App for Desktop works with both PCs and Mac, and is designed to make it incredibly simple to offload, organize, highlight, and quickly edit/upload videos taken with any GoPro camera. A non-linear editor (like Adobe Premiere and Apple Final Cut X) will allow you far more control and the most options, but for those just getting started, or for super quick edits for family or friends, faster and easier can sometimes be the way to go. Here are more of the features:

Optimized for offloading, organizing and sharing GoPro photos and videos

Includes powerful features for viewing and editing burst and time-lapse photos

HiLight Tags help you quickly find your best moments

Simple video trimming tools make it easy to create and share short clips

Comes bundled with GoPro Studio for more advanced editing

Updates your GoPro with the latest features for optimal performance

You can get started using the app pretty easily, all it takes is plugging in the GoPro camera or memory card into your computer and running the software. Here are some tutorial videos to get you started:
