If GoPro error 30 is haunting you and making your video export complicated, do not lose your sleep over it. Changing the export location of the video can work in your favor.

If an external hard drive is under use to save the exported videos, then you may want to change the location. You can do it temporarily to understand the nature of the problem at hand. Follow the steps below:

1. Change the default location of exporting videos to the internal hard drive instead of the external hard drive.

One cause of GoPro Video Export Error code, as mentioned above, is that some parts of the media may be corrupted. This corrupted portion will never allow the video to be exported.

1. Ensure that the project video is saved with a totally different name and at another location before making the changes.
2. Eliminate several video frames from the video project if the error starts occurring at 50%.
3. After eliminating the video frames, preview, and save the video, if the video is exported without any error, then you have found the corrupted areas of your GoPro video.

If there is a dire need to bring back the removed bad frames of the video, you can follow the guidelines given below:

1. Create a new project video.
2. Add the eliminated frames of the video into that project.
