Update your GoPro Hero2 Firmware with CineForm Studio + Get PROTUNE
Even though the GoPro HERO3 is out, a lot of people still have Hero2 camera, most of them still under warranty. You can update the Hero2 firmware with Cineform Studio (which is available for download from the GoPro.com) and get the PROTUNE update.
This is a good idea if you intend to mix footage from both Hero2 & HERO3 cameras.
Protune is much like shooting RAW with a DSLR camera. It gives you a much greater degree of control over the final product in edit.
Here is a quote from Gopros Senior Director of Software Engineering on Protune.
"Protune is a suite of features designed to enhance an even more professional image capture from your GoPro, while still being accessible to every GoPro user. Protune has the strongest emphasis on image quality by increasing the data-rate (decreasing compression) from an average of 15Mb/s to 35Mb/s. Small artifacts that can occur in detailed scenes or extreme motion are gone at 35Mb/s. Next is adding the 24p frame rate (to the existing frame rate options), greatly easing the combination of GoPro footage with other 24p cameras, common to professional markets. Finally the Protune image is designed for color correction; it will start with a flatter look that is more flexible for creative enhancement of the image in post-production. With the latest HERO2 firmware installed, Protune is enabled with the secondary tools menu."
