I used the windbreaker on the 7 and it was pretty good - prior to that I went to spotlight and bought a fake moustache for like $2 and cut it up and stuck it on the microphone holes - I moved to windbreaker as the housing on the 7 got annoying - moustache will be what I do with the 9 as I won’t be using a housing.
I think the color is better and I think you could really just shoot and upload if you wanted to - I just like the richness you get from post processing more "cinematic"I watched a few set-up videos last night, another YouTube vlogger reckons the GoPro colour on this model is a lot better than previous cameras so I'll try his settings too.
You will probably want to go the highest resolution you can, 4 or 5k. This will allow you to get the largest screenshot out of it later.Mine arrived yesterday and I'm currently trying to get organised for a four day bike packing trip up the coast so won't have time to go through all the tutorials, quick question to the group, what video settings should I use that would best allow me to grab stills from it later. My intent is to mount it on the bars, hit record for a few seconds when I see something I want to capture and then go back at the end of the day and grab the stills I want.
Yes, Timewarp is memory card friendly but battery hungry.Cheers for all the tips, on the multi day trips like this one I'll be aiming to ration the battery life as much as practical so while the timewarp feature would be a great way to document it all I agree that it's probably going to be too hungry. The auto burst method sounds good, I'll have a play with both that and stills from video while I'm away.
Could give DaVinci Resolve a go, professional level for the low cost of free. Will handle the footage better and be far better for grading/export etc. That said, 5k video editing is pretty demanding regardless.Well, the video I shot yesterday looked great, found out my 2018 version of Cyberlink Powerdirector does not cater for 5K video, so I compressed to 4K - 16:9 and it looked shit for a 100mb vid, 1 min long and was 1gb in size.
Need to look into the 5k or compression.
Its as slow as hell. I did a 15 second - 5K twirl of the room to upload as a test and its looking like a 10 minute render. My computer is pretty good but thats way too slow.That said, 5k video editing is pretty demanding regardless.
This is what I have been using as a way of getting into it and didn't want to splash on Adobe straight out of the gate.DaVinci Resolve
