Never used it. Interested though! Let me know what you think of it. I used to use vegas video to edit skate videos back in High School.

I used to use Pinnacle 10. It was very easy to use

POPTART, i don't use pinnacle but its important to have in mind what you want your video to be shot in as far as specifications. Whether it is 720x1280 24fps/30fps/60fps or 1080x1440 24fps/30fps so on and so forth, and adjust your gopro settings accordingly. When importing footage to pinnacle i am not familiar with the choices you have but try to find a category that adequately categorizes your shooting mode. Exporting is more or less the same process but you are looking for the best choice for supreme quality and frame rate for the smallest file size. I preferably go with MPEG2 but people have their preferences.

When ever i have questions, which are frequent I browse around the internet to find a walkthrough of some sort or i just play around till i figure it out naturally.

hopefully this may help as well.
