What editing software are peeps using please?
Been recommended Adobe Premiere Pro but the new version now is by monthly subscription!?!
Cyberlink director keeps coming back good in reviews...
The camera arrived yesterday and today I took it out for a test. So far I'm very impressed. It does exactly what I need which is simply have a video to show my family when I visit nice places on my bike.
It is quite possible that I find new ideas to use the camera but for now the only new idea ( for me) is to use it when riding on the road and have some record of events if I get into trouble with friendly drivers![]()
A couple of points on this.. The VIRB free download for editing and resizing the vids is basic, but quite good.I use Pinnacle Studio v14 HD "Ultimate Collection" - from Ebay used, for about a fiver. Did some research first to find which versions work with Windows 7! Came with a green screen backcloth to pla with.
I think the Virb software has one feature that Pinnacle hasn't - or if it has I haven't found it yet - which is the ability to rotate the picture e.g. if you mounted the camera upside down.
Got my class 10 card from 7day shop - I used them a lot years ago for film and battery purchases, but no longer buy film!
I recently got a Virb for a penny under £80. Then a 64 SanDisk card plus a genuine Garmin handlebar mount. I like the vid quality. What I like even more is the 3 hour battery life! With a spare battery, that'll do almost any ride I'm likely to manage.
The Virb editing software is easy to use and free from the website.
The file size is large, on 1080, over 1 gig, so if I'm uploading it, I drop it down in size when I export it to my desktop.
I do similar. Also, off-road, unless I'm recording a 'fun' bit, I don't bother with it. I use it mainly as an idiot-cam on the roads.To get smaller file sizes I tend to switch mine off/on every now and again during a ride (when I remember). This also allows me to remove any boring sections quite easily e.g. at "tea" stops.
I get about 2hrs 45mins per battery, it does tend to use more juice on the maximum quality HD setting.
