video editing software gopro hero 3 image

Any software I can download, changes I can make to iMovie, changes I should make to the gopro that would solve this problem? Thanks again.
Answer
iMovie is an editor, not a media player. While it is common to expect that the video playback during editing should be perfect, that is not what editors are for.
Generally, the "choppy" display you report is common to high definition video playback when the computer CPU is too slow, there is not enough RAM or not enough available hard disc space to effectively deal with the very computer-resource-intense needs of working with high definition video.
The only things you can do are to replace the Mac with one that has a faster CPU, add more RAM (4 gig is OK, but more is better) and have at least 1/3 of the internal start-up drive available. But since we don't know what the Mac environment is, this could be invalid. (Note that this is not a Mac-only issue - the same symptoms will be experienced on a Windows based machine if it it underpowered.)
After editing, when you export the video to a compressed version, then things should improve when playing back the video.

Im getting into filming, and i want to get a camera that has great fps...
My dslr nikon d5000 kinda sucks to be recording with. The new GoPro Hero 3 Black edition has 1080p and 60fps. I want to do a lot of shots where slow motion will reel in the viewers attention. Is there any other cameras out there that will benefit an amateur directors needs?

Hi "Anonymous:"
Even a regular, off-the-shelf camcorder is going to give you 20% better frame-rate than the 24fps your Nikon D5000 is limited to shooting in video mode.
Keep in mind that the GoPro Hero series are a fixed-lens wide-angle system designed for action Point Of View shots, mounted on a subject or vehicle, and not for "narrative" or normal day to day shots. Your audience might get bored with the constant barrel-distortion, if that's all you shot with.
For myself and other video professionals, a GoPro (or other action camera) is just one tool out of many to use in shooting a production. Other shooters have had good luck with the H3 Black's 1080-progressive @60fps setting, for later slow-down & achieving smooth slo-mo sequences.
But if you plan on mixing footage between cameras, normally I'd caution you to set both cameras at 720p (since that's what your Nikon is limited to), but one DP Review author was disappointed with the H3 Black's 720p footage "artifacts" and image noise. See: http://www.dpreview.com/articles/1284782993/gopro-hero-3-black-setup-guide
I know you are just around 17 and starting out, but if you've invested in more than one Nikon lens (good glass, and not cheap), you might save your $400+ dollars towards getting a newer Nikon body-only with a faster frame rate (720p @60fps, and 1080p @30fps). Or shop around for one of the Sony NEX or Handycam models that offer Super Slow Motion (120fps & 240fps) in short 16- and 8-second bursts, and offer better lensing than the GoPro.
With the Sony NEX systems, you can get a Nikon-to-Sony lens adapter, to allow you to use your current Nikon lens investment.
And depending on what edit software you use, there are software slow-motion rendering options that do a better job of slo-mo sequences than what you might be currently using.
hope this helps,
