I've been spending some time recently learning how to use Davinci Resolve, that's the video editing software that I used to make the test video. It's got some really cool features and it seems pretty easy to use. I've never done any video editing previously and I'm really enjoying it. I have a Certificate II in Electronic Publishing but that was from over 20 years ago and concentrated on things like Photoshop and layout for magazines using an Adobe product. It also included time running an actual old school printing press and making the plates to put in them. Since that time I've only done a little bit of photo editing a few flyers and things for my Mum who used to run her own business.
The test video I put up I've redone several times now using different settings from within Resolve to try and improve the image quality. I haven't updated the uploaded YouTube video itself, I've just been making changes and seeing what the difference is like on my own PC. I think that will be the trick with making videos for motocamping too, double and triple checking the finished video before uploading it to YouTube.
I've been learning how to make animated text, adjust the colour balance and stabilise footage amongst other things.
I'm still waiting for the Android adapter for my Insta360 One so I'm hanging to try out some of the features of the phone app. There seems to be a few options that I can't find in the Insta360 Studio that other people have shown in their own videos so I'm hoping that they are in the phone app AND that I can export those videos in decent quality. Being able to edit videos on my phone could also make the whole post production process a bit easier too, as I could start editing footage on my phone whilst still out camping. I'll need to make sure that my solar charger works properly before I head off on any multi-day trips otherwise I could be having the adventure of my life but not able to record it.
Also I managed to update the camera to the latest firmware and calibrated the gyroscope. I need to test the camera again to see if the gyroscopic stabilisation is working better now. The waterproof case showed up this week so I'm feeling better about getting out with the camera on the bike as it should help protect the camera and the lenses should I accidentally drop it or if it gets hit by a stone or bug. Once I've got all the bits and pieces that I've ordered I'll upload another sample video to YouTube to see what the improvements are like.
