Just Playing With My Scotland Video's From Last August

Probably not the best position for the camera if you want to capture the scenery, Do you have any editing software?

 

Interesting way to get off a bike. The long way round...

 

Great to get ur vids uploaded. As @Dougie D says, get a video editing software to take out the bits you don’t like.

I have Final Cut Pro (paid)and Davinci Resolve (free) plus Apples free movie making software. I chose whatever is best for the task I’m working on.

just to do simple cut/edit/merges then anything will do.

Give me a shout if you want a tutorial but there are lots of you tube examples.

 

@Hippo-Drones might be able to give you some tips,hes our forum youtuber!

 

If you are getting really into it, consider getting a gimbal. They allow for cinematographer quality handheld shots.

I have one of these.

Just been thinking about it, they do a more ‘automated’ version (cheaper too). Mine allows me to do do all sorts of daft stuff and is probably over kill for most users.

As an experiment I filmed my kids waterskiing from the boat using an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Even though it has built in stabilisation, the ‘un-gimballed’ videos was bouncy and shaky. With the gimbal is was like filming from a tripod on dry land. Stunning results.

 

You should get some great videos. Be ruthless about editing though. 10 mins sat in a traffic jams isn’t compelling viewing whereas scenic sweeping bends are

Good luck!

 

If making videos purely for your own enjoyment, then edit them how you want to remember the rides, but if making them for others, you really need to find your way around a video editor, there are lots of free ones. I use a paid for editor called Filmora Wondershare 9 and it is a really simple editor to use, but has some great features too.
If bike mounting and you only have one camera, I'd suggest a tank mount that is high enough to see over the bars and clocks etc, but still shows them at the bottom of the screen. With a Drift, they are designed to be helmet mounted though, and the videos will be much more involving if helmet mounted if you are able to do so and get it pointed forwards

 

With two or more cameras you can sync then switch between angles to get the best shit and also some ‘style’ to the video.

Edit: I mean to say “best shot” but decided to leave it as funny!

 

Joe, maybe you should start thinking about buying a colour telly. Your videos will be much better played through a big colour telly.
