GoPro announced the initial release of a macOS desktop version of its popular mobile app, Quik. GoPro also announced a new Premium+ $99.99 GoPro subscription tier offering additional features and benefits beyond the original $49.99 GoPro subscription tier, now known as “Premium.”

The Quik desktop app, available at no additional charge to GoPro subscribers, syncs with the Quik mobile app. Quik’s auto highlight editing feature ensures beginners can achieve pro-like results without any prior editing experience. GoPro subscribers also benefit from auto camera-to-cloud upload of their latest GoPro footage, unlimited cloud storage of their GoPro footage at original quality, auto highlight videos sent to their phones, intuitive cloud editing and media management tools, and more.
