Storyboard mode is an easy-to-use workspace for visualising scenes, great for producing simple projects and slideshows, while Timeline mode offers advanced control and precision, allowing media to be arranged over unlimited tracks. Though I suspect this a commercial product for viral promotion purposes.Two editing modes, Storyboard and Timeline, offer easy and advanced approaches to movie-making. Interesting to know what these guys were using:. A machine that's capable enough with graphics data handling and saves to memory/disk that it won't bottleneck the compression algorhythms input side when you comes to saving the final product.
So you are talking about a desktop, and probably a mid-range PC with good graphics i.e. I wouldn't have thought most "Bog-standard" laptops are up to the job as they probably have embedded graphics chips rather than the "Full Monty" separate graphics cards.
So perhaps the prescription for trouble-free editing/production is to start with good, fast hardware and a decent OS - Movie maker combination. Since then, I haven't done anything with video, but I would imagine that the data threshold for HD is considerably greater. I have to say that the final production of the slide-show, which was only 5-6 minutes long, took an excruciating time for the computer to process and save to disk - 40 minutes from recall. To be honest, I wasn't sure whether this was caused by either the slow hardware I was using or Windows Os or the Movie maker package (Hardware was an Asus board with embedded Ati 4000 series graphics processor, AMD Athlon twin core processor, 2 GB memory, conventional hard disk and Windows Vista Pro).
I think this was caused by the editing/production software (Early version of Windows Movie maker), in slimming down the final package to a format acceptable for You Tube, the compression algorhythm kept getting overloaded with data at times when the video + audio was changing quickly. Not matter what I did, I couldn't eliminate some instances of audio distortion in the final version. (my last experience of a video camera was when you had to put a casette in and i have only ever used YouTube for endless hours of 'browsing' however, i'm reasonable with a computer as a 34 year old but certainly no mega whiz)įrom a non-expert - I had horrendous experience about 5 years ago trying to output a simple non-HD slide-show video with a music track. I could (and no doubt will) google much of this but was looking for any friendly words of wisdom first if possible?
I'll be buying a suction mount and a tubular bar mount for the Go Pro and i'm told i'll need a class 10 Micro SD - whatever that is.Ĭan any of you guys help with any part of this and point me in the right direction, help with preferred settings, advice on how to edit, put up on YT etc etc. I don't know where to start, what the lingo all means, and how to do any of it.
These videos will be advanced motorcycle tuition videos for my training school and i'm a complete newbie to all of this (even the Go Pro side of things)!
The footage, which will be captured on my motorcycle will have to be edited and presented professionally on YouTube with captions, welcome screen etc etc (needs to be super slick) is where i probably need the most work and therefore help! I'm very shortly going to be buying the above - i'm told it outperforms the Hero 3 Black (which i've seen footage from and was impressed).
