Thanks Brent, my GoPro file naming hack is through the PC file system (WIN10) after I insert the card: sort the the files on the GoPro memory SD card by date of creation, mark them all with (CTRL - A on PC), right click to rename the first file in the list ("riding to the sea" for example) and then press ENTER. This will generate a uniform name scheme for all marked files in descending order from the first "riding to the sea (1)" to the last "riding to the sea (10)" You can tell from file names in the card what was shot to avoid deleting and for later use.
Hey Brent - just wanted to drop a note and say thank you! The content you are putting out is really great. Have really enjoyed the navigation series, this series, and of course the trips!
I am moving to Davinci Resolve (Premier Pro too expensive) and am watching lots of tutorials. Your suggestion of color coding the various media sources i.e. GP, Drone, etc. was brilliant. One thing I am struggling to understand is in the editing process. If you shoot on your Gopro in 4k, why not edit in 4k, instead of 1080p? This has really flummoxed me as I know you have mentioned it several times. Many thanks!
Hey Brent, absolutely great videos. Did you ever create the video about how you created the proxy presets? I'm stuck on that step as I cannot figure out how to get the Cineform 16x9 29.7...
Thanks Brent for the prompt reply. Much appreciated. Tutorial is perfect. Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is a great help. Looking forward to seeing the first 701 adventure video ;-)
@@LeeHollingworth Hey Lee, glad you are enjoying the series. I've got a 3-day ride planned at the end of October with the 701. It will be my first real trip after 100+ days of lockdown, so I can't wait.
In 4K files of 20 GB or more I leave the proxy running overnight. and it's bit annoying that in Premiere you can't load the proxy conversion at once but have to go through each directory. thanks - very clear and thorough!
Hey Dror You can set up Premiere so that it will automatically build proxy files for everything you import into a project. The reason I don't do that is because some of my GoPro footage is shot at 4:3 and you have to use a different proxy preset for that. So that is why I do it manually, but usually I am only importing about 3 directories (GoPro, Drone, and Osmo), So I only have to do tell Premiere to create Proxies 4 times (twice for the two different aspect ratio GoPro files). Also, you don't have to wait for the Proxies to finish, you can start looking at your footage (although if Media Encoder is running it does consume most of the processor of your computer). The other option if you are impatient is Import your footage and start reviewing it immediately, then at the end of the session build your proxies.
I love that you can hear the poor little macbook fan screaming its lungs out int he background while encoding 🤣 I'm coming back to editing after a long haitus (few years) and looking to start sharing my adventures again. This is great both for a refresher and also some new tips! I'm a cheapskate, so ill most likely be trying to move across to Davinci Resolve, or something thats more 'Buy once' like Lightworks (LWKS).
Hey Twitchel, I hear you.... I get my Adobe paid for by the company :-). Yes, Media Encoding kills the poor Mac... I go do something else when I'm building proxies. Glad you are getting back into it...I hope you find some resources on my youtube channel that are useful.
Yeah, it's very easy to create rats nests, but if you get into some good habits, then your projects will become a lot more organised and self contained.

Thanks Matt, I appreciate the note and I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. I enjoy making them.

Hey Lee, I haven't created that yet, but this tutorial should help you out, I set up my system based on this ruclips.net/video/-b8VtZX62XA/видео.html

I am new to moto vlogging and my files are a rats nest. This was extremely helpful! Thank you
