Call them hacks, or just the settings that GoPro should have started with, I'm pumped to show you how good your action camera footage can be. It's easy to do. Let's go.

    13:00 Ah this is something lot of people get confused on with RAW audio.
    Turning this on does nothing to the audio on the video file, it creates a separate audio file next to the video file. Depending on what you set RAW to, it’ll either do zero processing, or give you a slightly less (over) processed result. You’ll have to sync the audio track in post, which is why I normally don’t recommend it for first timers.
    Another great video otherwise!

      I'm still confused. If I plan on recording a bike ride, and I don't want the wind to ruin the experience of the video, why would I turn Wind Reduction from auto to off? It seems counterintuitive, but I'm a beginner, so could you maybe explain this to me? Thank you. I also bought a wind muff that covers the entire camera.

      @DaveLisowski 3 года назад +3

      @@okletsgo9135 I'm just now seeing your comment, and you may have figured it out by now, but the electronic wind reduction doesn't sound great. It cuts the audio in weird ways and can make it sound very "thin" or even robotic. Basically, the methodology in this video is to remove the need for electronic wind reduction by using physical wind reduction (via the mini dead cats he puts on). A lot of the time, the tiny bit of wind noise you'll get with the dead cat on will still sound WAY better than the electronic wind reduction doing its thing.

    I may be mistaken but I'm pretty sure the raw audio track setting only affects the separate WAV file that's generated while the wind setting only affects the audio baked into the video file. I keep the wind reduction on and set my raw audio to low and choose which track to use based on the situation.

    I appreciate this video very much although one thing: the white balance setting on 5500k is seriously not ok for me! Colors are simply too warm and white is not white. White balance on auto, together with Flat colours (and no sharpening) gives me the most realistic result. This gives you the best output for processing afterwards.

    They do have a wind foam case for it, that way your gopro still looks nice at the end of the day, it does great with wind, and you can just take it off and put other cases on it also. (I have a gopro hero 8) 15:00

    • @softbreeze941
      @softbreeze941 4 года назад

      Foam acts really poorly against fur which is basically transforming the force of the air movement into moving physical hair furs. Foam just has tunnels for the wind to spread away from mic but most of the wind can still get trough in windy conditions. It might work well with just the wind of riding the bike but when there already is heavy wind on top of the mountain the fur is the deal!

      That has to do which codec you get from youtube: avc1 or VP09. Basically, it means that when you have VP09 you get a better image on youtube. To get this you've got two options. Or you need to get more subscribers and views or upload in 1440p or above. I had the same problem with my videos as well and since I've uploaded in 1440p I automatically get VP09. To check if you have it go to one of your videos, right-click on statistics for nerd and you will see it.

      I found that when exporting my footage from Adobe Premier editing the RUclips 4k export settings from 1 pass to 2 pass render gave much better results. 1 pass works fine if the footage is stationary, however when you are flying over dirt and past trees the 2 pass method does better and your footage doesn’t end up looking like mud. Also RUclips compresses footage more in 1080p than in 4k, so watching the same footage in 1080 will be more pixilated than watching the same footage at 4k simply due to how much compression RUclips applies.

      Better to remove wind noise mechanically using a deadcat or deadkitten instead of using wind noise reduction software. You can always remove some noise in post production if you need to, but then you have at least raw data and more freedom to get it how you want it to be.

      The best way to get bike audio noise is to use something like a zoom audio recorder. Mount it under the seat. The benefit of those is you can control the input gain so It doesn't distort. Can even run a separate mic closer to the back end of the bike. Just wish I could do it on my track bike. But no where to mount it 🙄

    From another Canadian, thank you so much for putting these together! Honestly, your first tutorial for GoPro settings was the most useful thing on the internet, and this is a great update to cover the GoPro 9. My aim has been to share what I see as close as possible to reality, and I feel that has been accomplished. Every time I look at the results after a bit of colour editing, it makes me smile 😁
    The wind mufflers do work great! Did you get the idea from Stephen Reid? FYI, Red One Music out of Montreal sells the minis at $18CAD which I consider a fair price!
    Do you have any tips for reducing breathing noise on these cameras? I do a lot of head mounted footage, and I want to capture the nature sounds, but not my own sounds.

    • @TheFishingMommy
      @TheFishingMommy 4 года назад +2

      I have the same question about breath sounds; I do fishing content with either a chestie or head mount and capture a lot of breathing.
      I’m going to try the dead cat placement he’s showing and see how that works out.

      @@user-md3je2qq7x From Hero 7 onwards they use a single clock rate sensor (30Hz) and the camera interpolates other frame rates (24/25 etc) this is why GoPros own launch videos are always in 30fps. It also helps that most RUclips viewers are using 60hz screens (easy division for the graphics processor).

      24fps would be cinematic with a 1/24 or 1/48 shutter speed but that doesn't work well with the HyperSmooth stabilisation that you generally want to be on when capturing a bike video. In addition, the lens used in an action camera won't produce "cinematic" footage as everything is in focus and there is no depth of field. The bad pixely image is due to RUclips's compression, not the original footage of the camera.
      ​@@slinkytrips Any hint where I can find more about your statement? The one that 30Hz is the native clock and everything else is interpolated? Sounds very strange to me.

    • @jamaliciousben
      @jamaliciousben 4 года назад +1

      Horizon leveling (at least in my experience) is limited not because it doesn't do a good job but because it forces you to shoot in linear mode and if you're wanting to capture POV action with a gopro wide or superview is going to produce a much better shot. I'm hoping the Max Lense Mod will allow us to turn on horizon leveling but provide a wider field of view. Fingers crossed! If it doesn't work as well as hoped I'll be getting the stabilizer too.

    Just a general comment: I started mountain biking two years ago, and I've earned a heck of a lot from you in terms of riding and equipment choice. For example, my son got me a Hero10 so I could prove all that I've been bragging about to him. With your help in this video, I produced some nice colorful film of fast gnarly descents and flying gap jumps that impressed my son, but completely freaked my wife. Thanks for all your confidence building help.

    The white balance in the upward direction is mostly to compensate for the green that is prevalent in a forested mountain bike setting. If I ride my mountain bike in an urban setting where green is mostly lacking, should I move the white balance more downward, even keeping it in auto?

      24fps actually IS pretty close to what our eyes see, I mean its not like you can compare cameras to eyes anyway since "we dont see in fps" but IF you do.. 24/25 is the way to go, especially with the motionblur it produces if you got the shutterspeed right.

    G'day mate, loved the video. On the audio settings, if you're setting it to "Low" then it will do the wind cutout on the video's audio track but the WAV file will have no editing, so you'll end up with all three microphones tracks. This is my preference and then you can dump out any of the mics that sound wrong or just keep the main mic as mono and convert to stereo or whatever you prefer.
