First time out in months, great session. Really need some advise on how to edit gopro footage without making it look rubbish though..

Nice! I really like my vipers

First time I've had the viper in the air in about a year, it's a delight to fly..

Thought your editing looked great... Didn't care for the music, but that's no biggy,... Good job!

I'm jealous of that awesome looking riding spot!

I thought you did pretty well. Some headcam footage is unwatchable (some of mine certainly is!!) when it's constantly going from the kite to direction of travel (or DOT as it's commonly known.....not). I think a few more different camera angles is all you really need - axle cam, downtube cam, cam on a stick, cam on the beach on a little tripod - the more ways you can think of doing it, the more fun you'll have when you're editing. Also, the occasional bit of slo-mo or time lapse can be good value too.

Nice vid

Very nice video and cool spot to ride!

Thanks,

Definitely more mounting options needed. I was more referring to how the footage looks once ive imported into movie maker, which is presumably compressing the hell out of it. Quality looks poor compared to the raw footage.

Quality looks fine on my 19" screen. It's always a trade off between quality and manageable file size and I'd say you've got it pretty right. I use Corel Videostudio which gives me lots of final rendering options. I usually go with WMV at 720 but the Mpeg4 iPad HD setting is quite good too. If you really want to load up HD footage onto Vimeo, then Movie Maker might have to give away to a better program. Sony Vegas seems to rate very highly and I can't complain about Video Studio either. Most of them will let you download a free trial program to see how you get on with it.
