Lucky? I don’t know about that. Yes. Okay. You worked at another larger channel. And you earned the subscribers you have today by being a genuine person who we want to watch on a regular basis. So by building on your work you gained credibility and an audience. I’d say hard consistent work got you here today.
I concur. We wouldnt have followed him if he wasnt a genuine and likeable person that we want to watch and follow. There is SO much content to watch these days so luck certainly isnt what keeps us all here.
Agreed. Spite is the kind of person I'd want as a friend so I could ask them all sorts of motorcycle questions. And that's what I feel I get: A normal guy who brings a great, positive passion for motorcycles and who will share their knowledge and passion with those around them. Glad it's working out for Spite. He's earned the success.
Yeah, seems like he gets easy luck with this channel. But it is easy to forget that he has been working hard for years now. Maybe this channel has not seen hundreds of miles yet but the work he put in at yasmine noob can not be forgotten! He worked hard and earned it!
It's almost like making professional, well-crafted, well-edited video content is actually quite hard, and a lot of work... All jokes aside, this is a really interesting insight into another profession, especially one that every man and his dog thinks is easy. I remember a certain someone on a certain channel associated with Spite's recent history saying that they wanted to make videos not "sit in an office all day long" and I remember thinking that good quality video content surely requires a LOT of time in an office, because scripting, coordinating with outside stakeholders (Guests, suppliers, sponsors etc) and editing and refining doesn't magically get done by itself...
Another option to save money and still get a great package: Davinci Resolve is a top tier editing package (used by professional movie studios) and is totally free unless you want to use multiple monitors or external specialty hardware. There are a ton of tutorials online for learning it.
Beautiful behind the scenes looks to the workflow; specific to moto vlogging. Thank you so much. Being a photo and video editor for over 20 years, I know first hand how time consuming it is to put clips together for a cohesive and watchable presentation. Success to the future!
For my first motovlog I recorded my ramblings with my Cardo and phone. It did work ok, but not the best. Still, works well enough for starting. And as long as the video quality is good enough, the audio, in my opinion, was/is good enough. Good tips!
Thanks for the tip about shouting into the mic before starting to record, I'll remember that. You truly know the craft of vlogging and after every video I realize more and more how much of a professional you are. Cheers for all the fine content.
Hey man, loved your work for awhile now. As someone who does this for the fun of it. I really got a lot out of your tips on everything. Don't know what I'll implement. But it's stuff to think about on the way. Cheers again!
Great info! I've been drooling over the idea of getting the X3 for the past few weeks and you pushed me over the edge! Thanks for the free selfie stick Spite! Also, thanks for continuing to share such great content and I am looking forward to seeing what you continue to produce.
Thank you for sharing these tips. I am starting a moto-themed channel and have faced a number of challenges with audio, video, etc. This is helping a lot! ESPECIALLY the constant power crossfade.
What a great, comprehensive, and direct instructional video. Showing all the nuances and details makes all the difference. I think you’ve demonstrated that incredibly well in this video. Thank you!
Thank you in advance Spite! Your videos are very high quality and this is a very big help, I hope you continue on this topic in the future. I'm almost 50 and have no idea how to shoot and edit with today's digital, hell we had 35mm and 110mm for still photos and VHS camcorders in the 80's and they cost an arm and a leg back then! Love your content and this title really excited me to the point I had to make this comment before even watching the video!
I think you are the most relatable and real, type of person I watch on RUclips. Great video and I’ve noted quite a bit stuff that I should be doing personally Thanks!
Perfect timing. I was just looking into this last night. I just want to record my rides so I can watch them in the winter when I can’t ride do to living in New England.
So you neglected to go over the cables you use straight for. The go pro to mic, how it’s set up, where it’s located in the helmet for best quality, and where to find the panda mic and stuff like that…
I was editing one of my own videos after watching this video, and now I hear the click between audio tracks on clips. Thanks for showing an easy fix to solve a problem I didn't know I had.
Alternative to the Rode: I use a Hollyland Lark M1. TINY thing. 8+ hours battery, claimed 600 foot range (I'm sure it doesn't go that far though). Receiver and two transmitters and a charging case goes on sale for $120 pretty often. Reviewed to be comparable to the Rode setup but much smaller and the transmitter has the microphone built in so just one tiny thing to clip onto a shirt collar and you're ready to go.
Great in depth video Spite. Thanks for the editing tips and especially the communication mic next to the camera mic(I think that might have been my issue). 🤘
That exact boom mic is out of stock, but the extension is available. Paired it with a 3rd party mic for a turtle beach headset. Both came as two packs for $20 so the $10 per setup holds.
This is probably my favorite video of what you use and how you use it to make videos. I had an Insta360 x2 but the audio was so bad and I didn't want to buy an external mic and do the work to sync it so I sold it. I'm also not willing to buy Primier, so I used a free video editor that probably isn't very good. Editing the 360 video does take extra time, especially if it's your only camera as you need to choose what is being looked at and rotate it around in editing quite a bit. I'd like to try a GoPro since it's a fixed camera and very simple editing required, plus the mic can be put inside the helmet like you showed so wouldn't need to do syncing or spend on external mics. For vlog stuff I have a Canon m6 mk2 that does a great job and the mic on it is good, plus a gimbal mount if I feel like walking around a parked bike for example to keep things smooth. Everything with this is time consuming and is basically like having a 2nd job or 1st job if it's the only thing you do.
This is a great video with lots of tips. I'm particularly happy to hear that you shoot at 1080p/24fps. My DJI Action 2 will actually do that without overheating & is my favourite camera for chin mounting due to it's size & weight. Speaking of chin mounts, I wish that you'd gone into more detail about yours in the video. I would have been interested in hearing your take because it's not as straightforward as most other mounting points. There are a number of different mounting options available, and from personal experience a lot of them suck. A few words of wisdom about how you came to choose yours would have been the icing on the cake for me.
I use the MotoRadd mount, it's in the description above. It's super sturdy and low profile, while being universal to just about every full face helmet on the market.
the audio click that you hear, is because the audio wave doesnt reach 0 during the transition... adding a volume envelope at the very end and beginning of both clips can get rid of that... or like you added, a crossfade, which essentially is doing the same thing.
Spite this is the best video to date, love all your work "day in the saddle," "New Announcements," and "First Feelings." but this is the best one, i have the equipment and i dont plan on making videos, but just for quick post in IG, but i main have it to record encase of an accident "knock on wood" and thank you for the tips...
9:30 is the reason I'm here!! Just got back from a ride that I thought was awesome. I was excited for the footage but when I got home the camera was pointing in the wrong direction :( Looking forward to improving my filming with these tips
Tight meaning there isn't much interruption in the audio. It keeps the flow going without long quiet pauses. There wasn't really a mistake there, but there was a long pause while I was switching what piece of gear I was talking about
@@spitescorner ah ok thanks that explains my confusion? I was looking for a video cut that was “tight” and somehow obscured the original errored footage
Great video! Thanks for all the tips and the details about video editing. I'm about to get serious about my moto vlog and you helped me get better educated about it. Thank you.
Cool video, as someone who's currently attempting to film/edit/publish their first moto vlog videos, gear and process advice like this is much appreciated! Some of the things that get on my nerves from other vloggers, are when they only use the built in mics on their cameras/phones making their audio distant and unclear, or bopping around with their hand-held camera so nothing is in frame and you get seasick from all the jiggling. A better secondary mic attachment is cheap and slapping that camera on a tripod or gimble would help immensely. Another thing I'm doing with my videos, is investing in a Voice Over set up (mic, recording software, audio interface, pop/isolation shields), I don't trust myself to be able to ride or demonstrate maintenance/mods and talk at the same time. On that note, yet another thing that gets on my nerves, is when people read from a script in their videos and it's really noticeable they're reading it (@MCrider I love your channel, but seriously). It's best to get an outline together of what you want to say, then just naturally speak like you're talking to someone in the room.
This was a very insightful watch. Appreciate the total honesty with the tips. I went out for a spin to try a motovlog for the first time and came too realised him much brain power it actually involves.
Nice peak inside the YT video profession. Useful stuff Spite, well done! Also it's not just luck, you're a great guy and me and many others enjoy watching your videos and support you that way.
Good stuff Spite. I enjoyed the look behind the curtain so to speak. Keep it up man! 🤘 That cable is a great suggestion also! Could save a lot of headaches with audio peaking etc.
I don't do vlogging but I use a Cannon M6 mk2 for video and a Zoom H5 for audio. I'm a crew of one but it helps that I can monitor audio throughout the shoot. I don't know about Tesco but Zooms have a safety feature where it will record a second copy of the audio at a lower gain so I have a backup if the audio gets blown out. I use the Cyberlink's Director Suite 365 so I can edit and color grade in one place.
AWESOME video. I'm going to watch this one a few times. Thanks for showing the behind the scenes work in Premiere. I just built a new editing PC because I was tired of editing on my laptop. It only cost me about half of actual retail.
As an alternative to GoPros, I've been happy with cheaper action cams from Amazon. I use Akasos and like them, I've also heard good things about Dragon Touch cams, I suspect they're all the same on the inside anyway. Obviously a GoPro is better, but even used one cost hundreds of dollars, and it would hurt to have that fall off my bike or helmet.
I've been using a Dragon Touch for a few years, they're decent for the money. Battery life is only about 60mins but the batteries are cheap and I just charge my spare in my tank bag
Very informative. Couple questions in case you do a followup: 1: do you tether your cameras incase they fall off? 2: How do you keep track of battery level? My GP10 doesn't last that long and on a long ride I could see the battery going flat. (maybe external batteries?) and 3: do you just turn on the cameras and leave them on or do you use a remote to start/stop. I have the GP Remote but while it can control 2+ cameras the Max doesn't support waking up so you have to leave the cameras on the full time.
I’ll probably never go back to using a pc for editing. Macs forever at this point. I use a hackintosh rn but once I saw a unbiased comparison I realized I needed to try it out and I could never edit so quickly on a pc at this point
@@spitescorner agree 100%. One of My Macs is great for gaming because it’s a hackintosh with a AMD 7950x & just got the 4090 for it, but I’ve long ago accepted I will just happily have a home server & use a pc for what I want it for and the Mac’s for the other things. They play along together perfectly so no need to choose one or the other for me
Really interesting Spite! Thank you, very enjoyable even though I will never do any YT'ing. This goes to show the tremendous effort, skill, and knowledge goes into your content.
I like using two camera's, like you said, one on the helmet and one on the bars. I actually like having both so I can hide my edits easier by going back and forth instead of having the video jump over and over as I ride
Excellent tutorial, thanks Spike... You are recording your audio thru the Go Pro, yes? How do you get the audio in the shots from the Insta camera? Yeah, I am a noobie. :) and I use iMovie. Pretty sad, eh?
Just started making videos for Instagram. I’m editing them down for stories and reels right now and adding music because I haven’t quite figured out how to remove the crackling on the mic ted for sound. I really want to just vlog and maybe even have these videos for my son later in life where he can just hear his dad talking about life.
Another great video. Thank you for sharing the work that goes on behind the scenes. I found it daunting, though very interesting. Keep them coming please!
Loved the video - although I'm not wanting to do motorcycle videos like you do, I would like to improve my holiday and trip videos ...some useful notes here for my next jaunt!
Great video, you mentioned the ND filter and your settings but didn't say what number? What number do you find best for the time of day when shooting your ride videos? RayK
A lot of us have an intercom system with a mic inside our helmet. Aside of an app on the phone recording the voice from the intercom (which require to clapsync), isn't it a way to directly use this mic with a gopro ? Maybe with a Y cable ? If gorpo app allowed to use the input audio from the phone it would be awesome. No wiring needed.
Really useful information! I'm definitely trying these tricks especially the in helmet setup. I can't seem to get it just right so I'm really happy you made this video.
@@arthurdeygers2106 Totally get that. I'd say go for it. Though a chin mount gopro will capture your audio as well and not require an external audio recorder.
For riding off road filming at 1080P60 helps take a lot of the stutter out of the video from bumps and such. You lose the motion blur, but you can actually see what's going on.
I'm curious where you learned how to use Adobe Premiere? I've looked on RUclips for a How To video on Adobe Premiere 101 or How To Edit MotoVlogging. I can't seem to find anything to show a Tutorial on how to start a "project". Different terms and special effects, etc. Any suggestions. Thanks
Thanks Spite I wondered how you got things sounding and looking so good. For audio I use a zoom f2-bt with 32bit float so you don’t have to worry about sound level. It won’t clip ever your mic will distort before the audio clips. It’s great for helmet audio too. The included lav mic is not to bad and unit is tucked inside my jacket and is about the size of a matchbox so if you happen to come off your bike the unit itself is very unlikely to hurt you. My camera is a Nikon z30 and I use GoPro Hero 4 solver and black they are cheap as. As for back ground noise i use Davinci resolve which is free and it has voice isolation which is pure Black Magic and has saved me from either reshooting or doing a voice over. I use the studio version to speed up rendering.
@@spitescorner 32 bit float takes the guesswork out of it even if the signal level is really low or loads in clipped you either raise or lower the level and it’s all there like magic without introducing noise or distortion. It saved my but a few times and saved reshooting or doing a voice over. If you ever get tired of premier crashing and not saving take Davinci Resolve for a test spin even the free version is amazing and can do pretty much everything premier does. Their voice isolation is pure Black Magic if you have wind or background noise. That beast PC of yours will run it extraordinarily well. Especially if you opt for the studio version later.
@@bikegeist ohh. Yes and the mic in my helmet when it first loads into Fairlight looks like it’s all clipped but ya just drop the level and it’s sweeeeet as. On my previous Zoom H4n Pro even recorded at 24 bit at a lowered DB I would always get background noise or excessive wind noise. But that was before Black Magic added Voice Isolation in Resolve. I had a shoot that was ruined with excessive background noise and it fixed it so I uploaded it.
@@PubRunner Do you process with compression or just bring the level down manually in specific areas? I don't think I have the workflow right yet. I feel like compression is the way to go, but....🤔 I know nothing. 😆
I would like to hear your thoughts on why you choose to record the audio and video simultaneously. You could record the video of your ride, and separately record the audio in a "studio" environment (at home with a microphone). You mentioned production a couple of times. Would this combination of voiceover and b-roll be too cumbersome in production? Obviously, that style would be less interesting and helpful when you're doing a review or demonstration video, but on these where you're basically thinking out loud while riding it seems like it may be easier. What are your thoughts? (Hopefully this isn't a repeat question, I didn't see it in other comments)
Hey bro this a is very helpful video and very well edited and scripted . I have one question about the mic . So if you use rode mic on the go . How can you record your voice when the insta 360 video is going on . One thing that clicked is you talk on the helmet mic connected to the go pro and then cut the voice and put on the insta video . Secondly if you have a go pro o on the handle bar and a go pro on your helmet how about recording the voice for both angles simultaneously. Thanks once again for a lovely informative vlog .

There's so much admin work that I do nowadays. There's so many things to manage that didn't even make the video lol. Glad you enjoyed it!
6:15 a ND filter darkens light coming into the lens to allow a higher aperture on bright Sunny days to get that bokeh/ background out of focus look.

Everyone always says to just find a low output mic, but that never worked for me. This makes life so much simpler
what category you choose for motovlog? travel and events?
Really useful information, im getting into motovlogging and this was the video to rule them all! Thanks for the video!
Brah!!!!! I am so glad I saw the editing part. Thank you.
This is a great video! I will definitely be refering back to it a few times as I slowly improve my editing skills.
Perfect timing, I'm in the middle of making some videos and am getting lost in editing and script stuff.
new rider and always wondered how these vids were made. Might have to try my hand at creating some :)
Go for it! No time like the present.
I have been looking for ways to record my rides with my dad to enjoy later and this has been wildly helpful! Thank you Spite :)
Such a killer video man, super thorough. I love my insta x3, such a great camera.
I don't do vlogging but I use a Cannon M6 mk2 for video and a Zoom H5 for audio. I'm a crew of one but it helps that I can monitor audio throughout the shoot. I don't know about Tesco but Zooms have a safety feature where it will record a second copy of the audio at a lower gain so I have a backup if the audio gets blown out. I use the Cyberlink's Director Suite 365 so I can edit and color grade in one place.
AWESOME video. I'm going to watch this one a few times. Thanks for showing the behind the scenes work in Premiere. I just built a new editing PC because I was tired of editing on my laptop. It only cost me about half of actual retail.
As an alternative to GoPros, I've been happy with cheaper action cams from Amazon. I use Akasos and like them, I've also heard good things about Dragon Touch cams, I suspect they're all the same on the inside anyway. Obviously a GoPro is better, but even used one cost hundreds of dollars, and it would hurt to have that fall off my bike or helmet.
I've been using a Dragon Touch for a few years, they're decent for the money. Battery life is only about 60mins but the batteries are cheap and I just charge my spare in my tank bag
DAMNIT I bought everything before I got past the 1:30 mark 😞
JK GoPro hero 4 for lyfe sucka
Said you and like no one else lol. Get with the times grandpa!
Very informative. Couple questions in case you do a followup: 1: do you tether your cameras incase they fall off? 2: How do you keep track of battery level? My GP10 doesn't last that long and on a long ride I could see the battery going flat. (maybe external batteries?) and 3: do you just turn on the cameras and leave them on or do you use a remote to start/stop. I have the GP Remote but while it can control 2+ cameras the Max doesn't support waking up so you have to leave the cameras on the full time.
I’m a fan now, very humble very human. Do you have stabilization on ?
Just recently I've been wondering, 'Damn i wish Spite would make a video about his set up'! Thanks man!
Thanks for sharing us your workflow Spite!
I’ll probably never go back to using a pc for editing. Macs forever at this point. I use a hackintosh rn but once I saw a unbiased comparison I realized I needed to try it out and I could never edit so quickly on a pc at this point
Yeah Macs are much better machines for creatives. My tower is also my gaming rig though and gaming on a Mac isn't great
@@spitescorner agree 100%. One of My Macs is great for gaming because it’s a hackintosh with a AMD 7950x & just got the 4090 for it, but I’ve long ago accepted I will just happily have a home server & use a pc for what I want it for and the Mac’s for the other things. They play along together perfectly so no need to choose one or the other for me
Really interesting Spite! Thank you, very enjoyable even though I will never do any YT'ing. This goes to show the tremendous effort, skill, and knowledge goes into your content.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the look behind the scenes.
I like using two camera's, like you said, one on the helmet and one on the bars. I actually like having both so I can hide my edits easier by going back and forth instead of having the video jump over and over as I ride
Heck yeah, it helps make it so I almost look like I know what I'm doing too 😂
Excellent tutorial, thanks Spike... You are recording your audio thru the Go Pro, yes? How do you get the audio in the shots from the Insta camera? Yeah, I am a noobie. :) and I use iMovie. Pretty sad, eh?
Just started making videos for Instagram. I’m editing them down for stories and reels right now and adding music because I haven’t quite figured out how to remove the crackling on the mic ted for sound. I really want to just vlog and maybe even have these videos for my son later in life where he can just hear his dad talking about life.
Another great video. Thank you for sharing the work that goes on behind the scenes. I found it daunting, though very interesting. Keep them coming please!
Loved the video - although I'm not wanting to do motorcycle videos like you do, I would like to improve my holiday and trip videos ...some useful notes here for my next jaunt!
I love these kinds of videos. I actually enjoy using Premiere Pro. Now After Effects, that's where the real suffering is.
Shift-Ctrl-D on PC is a default short cut for the audio transition. Huge time saver
Do you use a lapel mic clipped to your shirt or jacket when using your Rode wireless? Or just the built in mic on the rode itself?
Great video, you mentioned the ND filter and your settings but didn't say what number? What number do you find best for the time of day when shooting your ride videos? RayK
A lot of us have an intercom system with a mic inside our helmet. Aside of an app on the phone recording the voice from the intercom (which require to clapsync), isn't it a way to directly use this mic with a gopro ? Maybe with a Y cable ?
If gorpo app allowed to use the input audio from the phone it would be awesome. No wiring needed.
It's doable, but most comm systems don't have a TRS style connector. The cardo uses a two pin. You'd need a very specialized cable for that.
Really useful information! I'm definitely trying these tricks especially the in helmet setup. I can't seem to get it just right so I'm really happy you made this video.
what do you think about just putting a 360° cam on the handlebars as your only cam while riding?
It's doable, but I like having the chin view as a base. The 360 stuff looks great as a second angle IMO
@Spite's Corner thx for your opinion I am just thinking about saving as much as possible.
@@arthurdeygers2106 Totally get that. I'd say go for it. Though a chin mount gopro will capture your audio as well and not require an external audio recorder.
Appreciate you're thoughts and advice here Spite.
For riding off road filming at 1080P60 helps take a lot of the stutter out of the video from bumps and such. You lose the motion blur, but you can actually see what's going on.
I'll give that a shot. I think the GoPro 10 can film at 1/120 shutter to keep the motion blur
That was really good Spite. Lots of great, comprehensively covered tips. 👍
I'm curious where you learned how to use Adobe Premiere? I've looked on RUclips for a How To video on Adobe Premiere 101 or How To Edit MotoVlogging. I can't seem to find anything to show a Tutorial on how to start a "project". Different terms and special effects, etc.
Any suggestions. Thanks
Thanks Spite I wondered how you got things sounding and looking so good.
For audio I use a zoom f2-bt with 32bit float so you don’t have to worry about sound level. It won’t clip ever your mic will distort before the audio clips. It’s great for helmet audio too. The included lav mic is not to bad and unit is tucked inside my jacket and is about the size of a matchbox so if you happen to come off your bike the unit itself is very unlikely to hurt you.
My camera is a Nikon z30 and I use GoPro Hero 4 solver and black they are cheap as.
As for back ground noise i use Davinci resolve which is free and it has voice isolation which is pure Black Magic and has saved me from either reshooting or doing a voice over. I use the studio version to speed up rendering.
I find the lower you record, the more headroom you have to play with in post. Took a long time to find the right settings though 😂
@@spitescorner 32 bit float takes the guesswork out of it even if the signal level is really low or loads in clipped you either raise or lower the level and it’s all there like magic without introducing noise or distortion. It saved my but a few times and saved reshooting or doing a voice over.
If you ever get tired of premier crashing and not saving take Davinci Resolve for a test spin even the free version is amazing and can do pretty much everything premier does. Their voice isolation is pure Black Magic if you have wind or background noise. That beast PC of yours will run it extraordinarily well. Especially if you opt for the studio version later.
+1 for the F2-BT. It's great.
@@bikegeist ohh. Yes and the mic in my helmet when it first loads into Fairlight looks like it’s all clipped but ya just drop the level and it’s sweeeeet as. On my previous Zoom H4n Pro even recorded at 24 bit at a lowered DB I would always get background noise or excessive wind noise. But that was before Black
Magic added Voice Isolation in Resolve. I had a shoot that was ruined with excessive background noise and it fixed it so I uploaded it.
@@PubRunner Do you process with compression or just bring the level down manually in specific areas? I don't think I have the workflow right yet. I feel like compression is the way to go, but....🤔 I know nothing. 😆
Excellent Video! Thanks for sharing and spending the right amount of time explaining end to end. New Sub!
I would like to hear your thoughts on why you choose to record the audio and video simultaneously. You could record the video of your ride, and separately record the audio in a "studio" environment (at home with a microphone). You mentioned production a couple of times. Would this combination of voiceover and b-roll be too cumbersome in production? Obviously, that style would be less interesting and helpful when you're doing a review or demonstration video, but on these where you're basically thinking out loud while riding it seems like it may be easier. What are your thoughts?
(Hopefully this isn't a repeat question, I didn't see it in other comments)
Impressive and informative. Subbed and many thanks you guy
Hey bro this a is very helpful video and very well edited and scripted . I have one question about the mic . So if you use rode mic on the go . How can you record your voice when the insta 360 video is going on . One thing that clicked is you talk on the helmet mic connected to the go pro and then cut the voice and put on the insta video . Secondly if you have a go pro o on the handle bar and a go pro on your helmet how about recording the voice for both angles simultaneously. Thanks once again for a lovely informative vlog .
this is the video i needed, thanks.
