Looks like you had a cracking days ride there Dave, even with the random car in the middle of the road. Perhaps they were just wondering if they could go straight ahead  |

Nice one Dave. Familiar road for me. Seeing the daffs at side of road gives a clue what time of year.
What I am trying to work out is- the forks are clearly doing their job. How come the footage is so steady? Or is it a trade secret?
Good job anyway mate.

It keeps the landscape rocksteady while the foreground (the bike etc) moves about. The two SJ8 PRO cameras that I have pointing at me and on the rear of the bike also have a hypersmooth setting which does the same. The new GO PRO's are the same, but they are shite at everything else and way over priced, yet people still keep buying them. |

OK - ta for that Dave. Your filming is impressive (well it impressed me). I also like the insert of you which has fuzzy edges as opposed to sharp edges. How long does it take to edit a vid like that, and which software do you use?
Nosy git aint I?

I record at 1440p and I edit the footage using Vegas Pro 17.
The videos are also rendered and uploaded to YouTube in 1440p, that way YouTube uses its best compression format.
If you render and upload as 1080p-HD it can look a bit fuzzy especially under trees as YouTube uses its lowest quality compression on 1080p-HD vids
A single road like Cliff Gate doesn't take too long, maybe a couple of hours.
It can take upto a couple of days to edit a full day's footage of a Divvy run.
The difficult bit is deciding which bits to keep and which bits to cut from the final edit.

Ok Dave, thanks for the info.
I had a little dabble at video editing years ago using m/softs own, but the name escapes me.
I checked out the cam you mentioned, but thought I could spend the money more wisely - like on petrol, or beer!

Ok Dave, thanks for the info. I had a little dabble at video editing years ago using m/softs own, but the name escapes me. Microsoft movie maker came with Windows and it was useless for anything other than creating a photo slideshow, I checked out the cam you mentioned, but thought I could spend the money more wisely - like on petrol, or beer! I know what you mean. Todays cameras aren't cheap. I dropped one of mine a few weeks back and like a piece of toast always lands butter side down, a camera always lands on its lens. It now has 2 chips in the lens and guess what; they don't do spare lenses for that camera, so that's £180 in the bin. A few years back on a Divvy run I had a stone smash straight through the lens and most of the cameras internals, that was £200 destined for the bin. On bike filming is not cheap. As for editing software....... well all I can say is ----- Argh Jim Lad. |

Could have sworn it was you but in my defence, I was in the cage and paying more attention to the traffic than the row of bikes parked there.
