GoPro 7 Black video editing
Hi, I just recently bought a gopro hero 7 black. I shot some footage in 4k60 just to see the quality. Once i tried to edit the footage I realized my computer won't play the file. I have a 2014 MacBook air. Is this just because my computer doesn't play 4k? If so, could i buy a HDMI cable and edit the software on my 4k tv? Not great with computers and what not lol. Just want to edit and view the footage.

Hello and welcome to the forum, for editing you will need a computer, fast enough for 4K/60 and also an editor.
For the beginning you can test free editing software or you take a little money and go for a good software like Magix or Vegas or.....
DaVinci is free and very powerful but you have to learn with YouTube tutorials.
Think about it, editing is a great hobby and you will get amazing videos.

Let me ask this question: (could i buy a HDMI cable and edit the software on my 4k tv?) Could you explain that in some detail.
Like @Ifti mentions he uses a Mac.

Thanks everybody. I have tried quicktime and Openshot video editor. I guess what I was asking is if I linked my computer to a screen capable of playing 4k would it not lag. Or is it specifically because my computer isn't fast enough. Sorry, if that doesn't make sense. Don't know to much about computers so trying to explain in detail is hard. I'm pretty sure though my computer just won't process 4k even if I connect to my tv which is capable of playing of 4k. Thank you all. I will look into DaVinci.
what if the companies no longer put information on the box, just a BLANK box, wait did not Doriito's do that,they sure did blue only and red only bag.. My point is. see below. these two have to a minimum requirement for your machine, that I can not guess. What lags, Latacy the word is Synch aud/vid, in order for it to play right, CODECS, are needed, the graphics card should be up to date, etc,
The camera can play back smoothly if a few other requirements are met besides what was mentioned.
card, the read speed, the HDD its speed, and the SSD chips today. as well the Portable drives, usb thumb drive etc..
So for me I play my video off the PC on the HDD, and if need be a PROXY is always given on the card, placed in to a reader. Many editors can use proxys to edit and then they meet up in the file and they use the original file without loss. Last thing. quoting with no reply????? you have a mention @ name you can use that, or a reply next to tehe quote. hope this helps out just a lil. Like said no one reads the requirement or their instructions.

Everything you posted looks like a foreign language lol. However, I feel I can safely gather my computer is just too old to process 4k60. In other words it's not just that the monitor on my laptop can't process it but the computer itself. Thanks everyone! Guess i'll be updating at some point.
Not a Problem. Simply trust the sales person when you walk in the store.
It's a fantastic camera for capturing high-quality footage. Regarding your issue with editing the 4K60 footage on your 2014 MacBook Air, it's likely that your computer's hardware isn't capable of playing such high-resolution files smoothly. You can definitely use your TV as a larger screen to view the footage, which can be a great experience!
Purchasing an HDMI cable to connect your GoPro to a 4K TV won't directly solve the editing problem, as it's more about the capabilities of your computer. If you're looking for a solution to edit your footage without the need for a powerful computer, you might want to consider professional video editing services. They can handle the heavy lifting for you and deliver edited videos according to your preferences. One such service is Unlimited Video Editing Services by vidpros.com. They can help you transform your raw footage into polished videos, saving you the hassle of learning complex editing software.
