Santiago Oaks video -Any Gopro experts have suggestions?

Hi All, had fun making this with the kids yesterday - but the gopro is new to me and honestly I wont be filming ever ride but I do a lot of photography and well adding video to the mix is a good way to keep the memories.

After adding it to YouTube it seems a bit more shaky, dont know why. Any tips on editing and specifically mounts and angles would be greatly appreciated

enjoy - Oaks yesterday in the light rain (yes the park was open and we left the higher trails as soon as it got wet)

What resolution and FPS did you film in? I think YT will strip out frames if you upload video with more than 30fps, and a high resolution will cause it to compress more resulting in less than HD quality.

 

it was just standard 1080/30 after i compressed the video on my desktop. Shot in 30fps also but want to try something faster next time

 

I started to get better quality on YT uploads when I changed to 960/30. I have had better video uploading to Vimeo but they limit the amount of HD uploads.

 

ok thanks ill change it up and maybe try Vimeo

 

I embedded the video so you can see how it's done. Yes! Mikie cares . . . :thumbup:

Great start! Glad you were able to keep up with the kids...
