GoPro, YouTube and no idea!

[Byff]

The idea was to set up a YouTube channel and post my GoPro footage of what life's like using a Cerbera as a daily driver.

I've very quickly established that

a, I'm not a very good camera man
b, I'm not very good at video editing
c, I'm scared to do commentary
d, My video's are very boring.

Apart from stop doing it and wasting my time, what advice can you bring and what sort of stuff would you be interested in viewing?

This is my channel so far...

I'm going to try and cross off each of those points above, starting with the editing. The boxed editing software for GoPro is a bit fiddly, so I'm going to try Sony Vegas next.

Today - I'm going to try commentary!

At the moment, I've got checking oil, fueling and washing it. To keep this on topic for the Cerbera forum, what sort of stuff would a prospective new purchaser want to see?

My afternoon has been lost to Mr VonGrumble.

I like his style, like the introduction theme - some top tips there. Going to try and steer clear of it just being a vlog and keep it centered on the car and not my personality.

I've got a lot to work on. Thanks for the suggestions.

I've been practising with Song Vegas and think I'm getting the hang of it.

Still a lot to learn but now I'm thinking what can test 2 be?

yeah, 1080p 48fps.

Is it jerky for you? Seems to run smooth on my ipad but I'm still experimenting really, render settings etc etc. I had it rendered in one format that when I tried to upload it, was going to take 3 days! Went for the internet 1080p settings to get it down to 30mins.

I still hate the sound of my own voice, but had to reference Baron von Grumble after he was mentioned earlier.
