I am going to invite you to the facebook group aviation videographers. This is so freaking helpful
cool. didn't even know that was a thing.
Thanks! The attenuation was the key item I knew I was missing. I haven't tried recording off the headphone jack yet, but I know that the signal coming over that cable has enough power to drive the headphone speakers - which is nothing compared with driving room speakers, but potentially enough to fry the preamps in a recorder, or at least overwhelm them.
Very nice video! Our technicians go nuts if we put suction cups on plexiglass canopies it will create flat/weak spots.
Yeah I still can't believe some people put that suction cup OUTSIDE the plane!
Great job! This info has been lacking and you put it all together so nicely for us novices. Many thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
this video helped me to get a much better overall understanding of how editing is done. thanks so much Wolf !
Awesome David. Glad it helped out!
Thanks for this video. Just getting started with my RUclips channel Over 50 and Flying and this was very helpful!
glad you found it useful! Good luck with growing the channel and have fun in that traveller!
Wonderful!
Nicely done! Good tips! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video! Thanks.
JUST FANTASTIC BRYAN !!!!!
Top drawer stuff, Bryan. Many thanks...
great recommendations and very well explained! 👌✨
Nicely done. Thanks for the good/informative content. Keep it up!
Thank you🤙🏾
Good stuff. I might just start putting effort into my flying videos now, lol.
Great video Bryan! I also like to use the tie down mount with battery pack for exteriors.
I've thought about getting an extended battery pack for the exterior camera but haven't pulled the trigger and not sure which one to get.
I use the refuel packs. But, only works for GoPro 5-7, not 8. I get 6-8 hours.
I usually mount my 6 outside so that's not an issue. It increases the size so much I would worry (perhaps unnecessarily) about drag and how well the mount supports it
Bryan, thanks for sharing your info. I video in 30fps but will look into trying 24fps. I really enjoy your videos,
thx! Nothing inherently wrong with 30 fps but I've always much preferred the feel of 24. Many people never notice the difference. Just make sure if you shoot in 24 that you also edit in 24 NOT 30.
Great video Bryan. I’m using a Akaso v50 pro for what I do and trying to learn how to sync my videos on the computer. Been into photography and film development for years, and now into these action cameras. Thx for sharing .
glad you enjoyed the video Buddy
Honestly, this would be a great teaching video for the assistant editors that I work with. ORGANIZATION IS SO IMPORTANT.
Organization is key!
Great vid Bryan! Thanks for putting this together...very informative. Now to see if my new instructor will let me record a couple lessons (but I don't think my Hero3 will be sufficient, lol).
Hope you found it useful. In my experience, most instructors don't mind, as long as you just hit record before start up and then forget about it. Yeah...I think it's time for a camera upgrade!

Great tips, I leaned the need of a separate audio recorder the hard way, on our Bahamas or Bust Series, the GoPro that we "WAS" using for audio overheated and we lost the audio, so the other camera was pretty much useless without audio. Now with a separate audio recorder, you can salvage the video even if you loose a camera for whatever reason. We leave the audio on for the entire flight as you never know when something interesting pops up on ATC, and usually does if a camera is off . . . Hope to see ya at 1K1 next month!
Ouch. That must've been disappointing. I've had my fair share of messed up recordings as well. As far as 1K1, I'm planning to fly the Tiger out there.
@@Wolficorntv
Cool Beans, I'll be there, but then again its only 5 miles from my house, we fly out of KAAO but live between KAAO and 1K1
Great video, not a single boring moment. Question: Is the sequences and edits duplications of actual footage or markers in raw one set of footage. In other words more sequences and edits does not increase storage space significantly.
Glad you found it helpful! Duplicating sequences in your editing software doesn't increase storage whatsoever.
Bryan, Thanks for making this video! I am still learning and gaining proficiency in this art. I have a couple gopro 4's but I could easily see upgrading for christmas or next year. You inspire me to make a video on my process as well. I think I will do that as soon as I get my editing PC built. I am a Linux guy and have been using OpenShot, which is open source and available on several platforms. I think I am going the AMD ThreadRipper route.. Wouldn't it be awesome to have 64 cores and 128 threads? LoL!
Gopro usually has a deal going where you can trade in any old camera and get $100 off a new one. Might be worth it to you. Sounds like you're gonna have a beast computer. Good luck!
This was helpful. I'm always looking for ways to make each video I upload better than the last. My big hurtle is software. I use to know premier 20 years ago, but I haven't used it since and now the best I can do is Movie Maker :-/ I've been trying to learn another free editing software... But it's a steep learning curve!
Glad you found it useful. The editing process can certainly be a challenge and time suck for many. I'm a pro video editor so I'm used to it. While the learning curve might be steep (nothing a good youtube tutorial can't fix) an excellent FREE video editor you might want to look into is Da Vinci Resolve.
Thanks for the tips, we would love to know what you think of our videos?
Thanks so much for an excellent tutorial. Can you tell me how other pilots that I have watched have superimposed something like an altimeter or speedometer onto their videos?
that is a feature that comes with some action cameras (I know garmin has it, I think gopro does it too but I've never used it). Google "action camera telemetry overlay" and you will find all the info you need.
Great info, Bryan. My camera setup, as you may have already noticed from my videos, is similar to yours. I use 30 fps, will give 24 fps a try. One thing I wanted to ask you is your resolutions. It looks like you shoot at 2.7k 24 fps; what is your final production resolution? I shoot at 2.7k 30 fps but export to 4K, as I heard YT does not degrade quality at that resolution.
I usually shoot at 2.7k 24. 4k is often overkill, uses more power, plus in some of my cameras you can't shoot linear at 4k. I edit and upload all my YT videos at 1920x1080.
Nice! I've been contemplating doing my own RUclips channel flying the Tiger with my son. I have HERO 3 and HERO 5, but I really like to upgrade and get a 7 or 8. I also have a SONY digital audio recorder that I've used in the past. The issue is editing software. I've used the Microsoft product that came with Windows 7, but I've upgraded to Windows 10 and they replaced it with something that seems to have less functionality. I guess I may have to invest in a better software package for editing. This was very helpful! Thanks for sharing.
As far as GoPros go, they have a perpetual deal where you can trade in any old camera and get $100 off an 8. Obviously the faster the better for editing systems. I'm not too familiar with the windows machines, but you might want to check out Da Vinci Resolve for editing. It's excellent software for editing and color correction and it's FREE!! Learning curve might be a little steep, however.
Thank you! I wish you had covered how you manage turning your cameras on and off. I’ve struggled with the GoPro app and remote. Seems like I have them all working until I get to the hangar and put them on the airplane. How do you manage this, especially your external cameras?
Honestly I could have made this a 5 part series b/c there is so much to cover. Battery management is certainly an issue. I don't use the app much b/c they rely on Wifi, which sucks power. The gopro remote is hit or miss for externally mounted cameras. My guess is there is there is perhaps interference with avionics. For the remote, my experience has been that it works consistently turning on the first time...but very unreliable after that. My solution, so far, is to make sure I get what I want before the battery dies and land if I need to change the battery. Not ideal.
Troy,
For my tail tie down camera I know I can get an hour of video. I carry extra batteries and change when I land. As Bryan mentioned Wi-Fi or Bluetooth gobbles up battery life.
For internal cameras I hook up to a battery bank and it will outlast my video data card ;)
@@Wolficorntv I've had trouble with the GoPro remote as well. And the app is horrible for the exterior cameras. My best solution so far is the battery packs for the external mounted. Ryan and FlightFLix has some hot point solutions, feeding power to points exterior plane, but I haven't tried that yet.
If your camera is under the wing, remotes are useless once airborne, they seem to work on the ground probably due to reflected signal from the ground.
Good tips - thank you for sharing. I will be using some of your process. You don't use Premiere Pro's multi-cam editing feature. Is there a reason? I look forward to more vids..
I use the multicam on certain occasions. For my flying videos I personally find it easier to not go that route.
Thanks Tiger brother. Question, where do you get music and media content to add to the videos?
Hey. There are multiple music subscription libraries out there for various budgets. For music I used one called Artlist. There are stock footage libraries as well, but they typically work on a per shot basis...but I've never used stock footage for any of my videos.
I know this is an old video, but I have a question regarding putside cameras. How do you control these, more importantly stretch out the battery life? If you have to fly a half hour to get somewhere, won't the camera be dead when you want it most?
Outside cameras can be a PITA but they can make great images so we endure the pain :) I have tried using remotes for the cameras but they are unreliable plus they suck up more battery. The best way is to just start before the flight and let it record until the battery dies or the flight ends. There are aftermarket battery attachments to extend battery life but I don’t use them for various reasons (but others do and they can often work well). A few times for important shoots, I have run a usb cable from a power brick inside. It requires a lot of planning and gaffers tape so not very realistic for everyday use. Also…they higher frame rate and resolution you shoot eats up more battery so don’t shoot at 5K 30 frames per second when 2K will suffice.
I've only been up in a Cessna once. It felt like I was flying in a kite. I did have a dream that came true.
My Psychic Dream
GOOD FRIDAY MARCH 25, 2016 I had a dream this morning. I dreamt that I was just standing there looking out a window, and the sky just started rolling up like a scroll, I was only confused for a second, and I started yelling "HE'S HERE...HE'S HERE!!!" I remember this overwhelming sense of excitement, It made me cry when I woke up about 5:30 a.m. Not like from a nightmare....In the year 1993, I had a dream...but first I wrote this in my diary.
God are you there listening to me? I know when you'll answer because my heart will agree. God if you are there listening to me, if you please don't mind can you send me a sign? Was it a sign or just a dream, you decide.
Friday morning 6-4-1993...
I dreamt about a mid-air collision between two air crafts. In my dream I looked up into the sky, just as one plane curved into the other, a white and blue striped helicopter fell upside down in front of me. Its tail section on top of the fence and the tail rotor was still spinning hitting the fence...tink..tink..tink..tink...tink...I was trying to run but could barely move. There was a road and open fields with fences and corrals on one side of the street (burned grass and burning fence) and on the other side of the street there was a line of very large, tall trees. I don't remember if in my dream, If I knew where I was at, at that time. The very next day, however, I was not aware of what happened on 6-4-1993.
On Saturday, 6-5-1993, about 11:30 a.m. at Chino airport during a rain storm. Two planes collided- one a Cessna and the other was a home built Lancair 320. It was white with blue trim, it hit the Cessna's tail and the Cessna landed upside down after spinning to the ground. The other plane went down at an angle, its nose made a hole where it hit. Three people died, two in the Cessna and one in the Lancair. I did not find out until I read the Sunday paper on 6-6-1993. I never knew the victims or the surviving family members, but I did learn, years later, that their family business is near our home, with no other link to them but our prayers. The news paper was The Daily Bulletin in Ontario, California. Life can be unpredictable so pay attention to your dreams, I especially pay attention to ones I have on Fridays mornings.

*The best you tube channels are the ones that provide free instructions. Awesome tutorial!!!*
How do you handle exposure in the cam above your head so that you can see both outside and also the panel inside? In mine either the panel is too dark or outside is too light. Also, how do you get rid of prop artifacts on that camera?
If you were shooting a hollywood movie, you would try to equalize the exposure by increasing brightness on the inside and/or decreasing the outside exposure. Since that's not realistic for 99.9% of pilots there are a few things to make it "less bad." One thing you can do is use the "exposure lock" feature to choose what part of the image you want the camera to base its exposure on. Another way is to shoot in Protune mode to maximize your dynamic range and then color correct in post. You could also play around with graduated ND filters. In the end...it's not easy. I have found combining the first two methods to get decent results. Also, overcast days are better b/c it's not as bright outside.
As far as prop artifacts, pop a ND filter on the lens. I must confess I usually don't do this, even though I should!! I included a link to some ND filters in my "gear list" in the description. Otherwise a little google-fu will get you where you need to be.
@@Wolficorntv Thnx, B
Is there anyway where we have a central switch to switch on recording and switch off recording on all cameras. This is important on long flights of 3 or more hours.
The gopro remote works fairly well for multiple cameras inside the plane (but also easy to just manually do it.) It isn't reliable for externally mounted cameras, in my experience. There's also the gopro app. Both of these involve keeping WiFi turned on, which shortens battery life. Those are the only options that I am currently aware of.
The real question that I have is how do you get more than 30 minutes of video on 1 battery? Mine always seems to run about 45 minutes or less.
It can be tricky. I recently got this device for using external power of an outside mounted camera.

I'm sorry if I missed it, but which music service do you use?
Artlist
@@Wolficorntv Thanks! Seems like an inconceivably good deal. You're clearly finding some good stuff there. I definitely like what you're selecting and how you use music in your videos.
@@tomdchi12 thx Thomas.
