VLOG Chatter - so it doesnt pollute other threads

[Janx101]

I watch more in Syd but...

Yeah we have international students in the mix too ... Probably not as many as Sydney .. But less overall traffic so they 'stick out more' .. Roads aren't too bad once you get it into the head that the Gong is a long and narrow coastal area hemmed in by the dividing range ..

Talking of roads ... Canberra has to be my fav city to drive ... Good network of planned roads and interchanges..

Anyway ... There's so many little touristy local loops and places to explore ride... I might end up being like a tourism Vlog brochure eh!

Canberra's roads are sweet as, no traffic lights! And it's a good thing You watch out in Sydney, the place is riddled with people who shouldn't be on the road. Can't tell You how many times I've nearly been killed in my car and on my bike by people not looking merging or indicating or pulling out etc. etc.

[Zookmang]

Subscribed. Nice video of Macquarie Pass, best road. Gotta go down when I get my tyres changed, they're looking a bit sad at the moment!

[Janx101]

Cheers bro! ... 

I'm gonna try do a non talk one with the better noise level ... Bit better pace and up the hill ... Want ever get as fast as some though .. Not up there! ...

Look for the one by zx10vyper I think it is...

Just search Maquarie pass in YT and you'll see his big green machine ... That bloke can MOVE! 

[Zookmang]

Uphills are more fun i reckon! 

[Janx101]

Yeah ... I get a 'smoother' run coming down the hill, much more flow and roll ... But uphill is more exciting ... More throttle on!

Depends on the program janx. Most of your more entry level programs you have to 'keyframe' stuff like that out which is time consuming trust me. As far as I know WMM doesn't have keyframes. My program pinnacle can keyframe. What it is is basically you insert an object to blank out or blur what you want to obscure then you advance through the video and adjust its position to keep it on target. So like I said takes alot of time in some cases. Now your more advanced programs like hitfilm, Vegas, motion 5 and a few other have something called motion tracking. What that does is you set a target that is visible in the entire shot and you set your tracker to track a specific point for however long it may be. The program tracks that and that basically keyframes it for you. You then insert your object to blur it and pair or attach it to the tracking you did. That's it in a nutshell. Kinda lol

right .. thanks guys !! ... cheers i think! 

so i click on the widget for the thingummy to encapsulate and follow the chosen point and then assign a function to be active during the selected timeframe...

seems simple enough!

By George his got it

[yamahonkawazuki]

yeah ... i let the WMM do it and save whatever.. then upload... its working so far .. just about to put the dusk one for upload

when i save it computer .. saving in "for computer" setting... about 40mb per min .. 5.6 bitrate .. the option above that is like 173mb per min of footage!!! im not so worried about YT hosting it... but the upload time ... thats ridiculous!

if recording in hi def, aka 1080 or 720 process as such. otherwise WMM, and YT both bork the video more times than not

[Janx101]

Yep ... I've done a few in full HD save so far .. The ones where I really want to show detail into distance ... But mainly done in the less meg hungry mode ... No big dramas with YT farkling anything yet ...

Still Getting used to it all though and sorting out how I edit down from orig footage ...I currently trash about 50% on first pass .. Then another 20% or so for overall time of vid ... Then fine tune the cuts starts and ends and swaps ...

Don't bother saving the trashed stuff .. If I didn't like it to start with its unlikely ill use it later .. Also collecting some short out-takes and brainfarts/oopses for a intro montage at some point

my 2013 tour de cure vid i posted was 21 minutes of 720p rendering hell. but it turned out i guess. Errrm  video was 21 minutes in length. took a few hours to render and upload. i made one edit. on the elevator ride. to get rid of my friend. Chief broken wind. lol

I thought drifts were waterproof from the get go janx

[Janx101]

From .. What done to bike today...

Yeah slips they are ... To 3m they say ... I've had it out in the fog already and no drama ... But that's with the full seal rear case on ...with the rear case that lets me use the mic I doubt it..

Gotta get something else to record some audio for the sealed situ ...

Anyway ... I want the waterproof case ... Yeah for going snorkelling or something this summer maybe ... But on the bike ... I have a few camera angles in mind that I want some additional 'armor' for .... S the camera doesn't cop a flogging from any debris..

And in case I happen to get caught out in ... Or intentionally do a Vlog in.... Real badass heavy rain!, ...

3m sounds good and all ... But what about rain impacting at 90km/h ?? ... How would that rate for 'depth'?? 

Damn .. Keep forgetting that 3? In a row gives this
