Got a new Sony action cam

[uscgmac_imp]

Picked up a new to me Sony action cam. Did my first video. Still figuring out the details as I go. The audio was pretty bad at higher speeds so I just edited out most of my audio. If you have 20 min of time and bored out of your mind then check it out. I don't talk to much about the bike or really at all but their is some cool parts. Remember this is the very first time i have ever done this including editing But i promise it will get better, lol.

I enjoyed watching. The Sony gives a good picture. I liked your narrative and was dissapointed that the wind noise killed it. If I may respectfully give some feedback I would say that, from my perspective at least, any video more than a few minutes duration needs some real "hooks" to keep interest up. I don't know how you edit but I have used both GoPro Studio and iMovies. I have settled on iMovie for a number of reasons, but there are plenty that prefer GoPro Studio. Keynote is also a great addition to any editing program. I would guess that Sony have their own program. As far as editing goes, I try to practice what I preach but am not always successful as any perusal of the videos I have posted would show. I am now looking at about 50hours of raw footage I shot on a recent trip and trying to find the energy to distil that to less than 10 minutes.

Cheers, and keep going.

Thank you. I did the editing on windows movie maker. Sony does have a program and im gong to try that also. Im really going to cut the next one down and do a bike review, then bable about nonsense and make some bad jokes then look for pretty women. That should keep them interested, lol:-)

First, please don't let me deter you, but be careful looking at pretty women. The day after I got my first road bike I was riding in the traffic on my way to school. So smitten was I by a pretty girl on the footpath (sidewalk) that I rode straight into the back of the car in front of me.

Secondly, I took the liberty of moving your thread to the videos area.

Thirdly, I enjoyed it, although I'd add support to Pterodactyl's preference for brevity.

Fourthly, it's a pain about the wind noise wiping out not just your commentary, but also the lovely sound of that pipe. It sounds great.

Fifthly, the law enforcement chappies caught me failing to come to a complete halt at a STOP sign a year or so ago. It cost me $300+ and three demerit points even though I'd slowed down and taken all reasonable care. They were either bored or on a revenue hunt.

Sixthly, aside from the certainty of an instant license suspension if caught travelling at some of the speeds you attained, it was interesting to see the difference in the revs at speed on your bike compared to my 2011 five-speed. Yours looked more comfortable.

Finally, the quality of the camera seems pretty good to me.

I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.
