patmoore Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Nice perspective and nice corduroy! The GoPro is on my wish list. Can't wait to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 OK, dumb question: How are you guys making sure the GoPro is "ON" when riding alone ? Do you turn it on and check visually (for the blinking) then slip it into the mount, or do you just press the button and hope it is on ?? Have a helmet mount, but haven't tried it yet.

orser506 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm wondering what software everyone uses to edit the gopro footage. I just downloaded pinnacle but it needed a lot of hp to run it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 If I can see it I just watch for the light. If I can't (helmet) then I listen for the beeps. They're pretty quiet, but audible as long as you're not standing beside a diesel lift or something. I used Sony Vegas Studio HD. It's something like $99 to download from their site. It's not too fancy but does basic editing pretty easily. I've edited HD video on a 3-year-old laptop with it, I just had to make the preview window small. Disclaimer: this is the only HD editor I've ever tried so I have no idea if there's something way better for less money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you turn it on and check visually (for the blinking) then slip it into the mount, or do you just press the button and hope it is on ?? Have a helmet mount, but haven't tried it yet. I have the camera set to the mode where it starts filiming when I turn it on and it stops fliming when I turn it off. It simplifies the issue, one touch and hold to on and I am filiming, on touch and hold and its off. I practiced numerous times with the camera attached to the helmet in front of a mirror to make sure I was holding the button down long enough for on and off.(red light on) .....I have NOT missed yet when I have intended to be filming or when I have meant to turn it off. Simple. As it goes to editing softwarre for the short films I have put together, I use "Microsoft Movie Maker" that comes with almost all OFFICE packages so its free if you have a Microsoft OFFICE package. I have not known anything different so I cannot compare it to anything else, but Movie Maker is flexible, and easy to learn and use (unless you have a VISTA operating system or older I am told).
