I recently picked up two hero 5 blacks. I am not impressed with the limited functionality of GoPro Quick.

 

Looking for suggestions for a free to moderate cost program that people like.  Would be nice to have music included, and easy slow motion. 

 

Also, any filming / editing advice is welcome 

Oh goodie! Just what the world needs, more country music on a Walmart challenge video....

How about a van life vs tiny home video with some blue grass next?...

Or better yet, the Plopper is the greatest lure ever with some Kenny G...

Look into Adobe Premiere Elements.

I love adobe products,  just can't justify the monthly subscription.  I should add the footage is really just for me and friends. Mostly memories for my daughter. Not trying to fill youtube.

Elements is a one time purchase, not a subscription. It's on sale right now for $70

If you're looking to just add music and such I would suggest Wondershare Filmora. It's a very simple and easy to use program, editing couldn't be any simpler. The free version does exports videos with a watermark but there's an easy workaround. 

 

 

My 0.02 cents.

 

 

Edit- The less advisable route is to get a cracked copy of a professional program (vegas, ADP, etc) , though I do not recommend or endorse it.

I was not aware of that, thanks for the tip, I will check it out

 

i actually just use the go pro software but i haven't been doing it very long 

They had a sale on a bundle of photoshop and premier elements 2018 for $99 so I purchased it.  Used it to edit some Christmas footage and am very happy so far 

If you have a MacBook iMovie is free and surprisingly a great program to edit videos, especially for beginners! 

i just use windows movie maker. If you have windows 10 or higher, you have to download it, but it is free.
