Load iPhone Video to GoPro Studio

iPhone videos won't load properly into GoPro Studio

"I'm trying to make a video from some gopro videos I have, but I also want to include some videos from my iPhone too. However when I go to import the iPhone videos, the studio doesn't seem to load them properly. The video sound is nothing but a high pitched static noise, and the videos all play really slow, like they're being played at 1 frame a second. Has anyone had this issue before? This is my first time using the software, is it only able to process actual gopro videos?"
