I'm sorry the GoPro hasn't wow'd you. I did some in depth research on the Hero7 and the hands on insights were less than glowing. I was thinking about getting one and experimenting with it at AFW this year but the reports kind of turned me off. I would guess that FCPX or Premiere is what you'll need, but I'm not certain .
The RYLO is great, it's Achilles heel is that the software is ios based. Actually the software works well and is pretty intuitive. Where I run into a snag is the fact that everything I have is constantly bumping memory limits so it makes the RYLO workflow tedious . The way RYLO works is, you have to connect RYLO to an iOS device, the RYLO app boots up and asks if you would like to pair that particular RYLO unit to that device, click yes and the 4:36 clips immediately show up in the app. You then have several options, tap the clips and they download to the device (you have the option to select 360 video or HD panoramic). Once downloaded you can edit, create 360 videos, create 180 degree pano videos from either or both of the lens perspectives, hit an option that lets you place a square where you would like the clip you are creating to center and the software will keep that point dead center and create the new clip. There are so many varying clips that one can create from a single clip it's amazing. I'm working on the footage from my time with "That's All Brother" and I've created forward looking clips where the runway screams at you on take off and the gear cycles up, rear looking clips that show the tail coming up and the runway falling away as the aircraft rotates and climbs, views down the left and right wings from underneath, and then the jumpers falling away showing the other C47's in trail, one camera, one clip. I used my Sony 4K POV's on the fuselage and wing positions so they are .MOV files and can be edited in FCPX. Once one has downloaded the RYLO footage to an iOS device it can then be imported into FCPX and, with the appropriate settings activated, can be edited on my MacBook, or iMac.
Where my hang up comes in is, there's not enough memory left on any of my iOS devices to import much RYLO footage for editing. The work around is, stick the microsdxc card in a card reader, back it up in my typical four places, then put it back in the camera and deal with one 4:36 clip at a time, downloading it, editing it and exporting it from the iOS device to my back up devices and my MacBook Pro. Obviously very time consuming, clumsy, and next to impossible to accomplish on site for a client. I was a few days away from getting another 512 iPad Pro when my guy from Apple texted this morning to alert me of the new product release, I'll have it early in the second week of December.
