Me again 
What's the best way to render a video and upload to yutoube?
I went with the Upload to Youtube all in one option. Choosing the hd720 option with quality set to best thinking the finished product would look pretty much like the original which was filmed at 720 only to be left a little disappointed, it's halved the file size. Check it out. It's a first ride after some cracking injuries so excuse the pace.
I'm wondering if I should have rendered seperately or something?
How do you do yours?
Not sure if you are aware but you might not get full quality on YouTube for a couple of days
That's an interesting perspective, I'll have to try that.
I couldn't get my hookey copy of Vegas HD working but when Northwave pointed out it was really cheap I figured I might as well buy it since it does seem to be the software of choice.
So last night after a few beers I went on Amazon. That was a bad mistake. I spent over a hundred quid in the end (although Sony Vegas HD 10 only cost 25)
Oh, and I use Vimeo, it's better for HD than youtube I find.
I thought once you'd been given the 240/360/480/720 options it was as good as it gets.
I've heard it mentioned that Vimeo allows for smoother playback, richer colours etc. Maybe I'll give that at try. The upload limit is lower from memory though.
And no I don't know why I used a 10 minute long video for such a test (where's the 'dumbass' smilie?)
Beat me to it Samurai
What the hell is going on with your fork bridge? It's like it's got a clear section of tinted glass!
It's my funkadelic mirror addition. Still not sure about it. Looks good at low speed.
Yeah, the free Vimeo upload limit is 500Mb a week, Pro accounts unlimited I think. It's fine for me though.
Funkadelic mirror addition is good I reckon. Better than staring at a thick fork bridge. Nice job!
Even if I tell it to render with original project settings it outputs a poorer quality. The vid below is around half size of the project file.
As an aside, how poor are gopro's in low light 😕
In my limited experience, I would say they are great in low light (better than all the competition), but struggle with high contrast in out-of-the-box settings. When the sky is blue, but you're under a cloud, it seems to struggle.
I've now set it to 'spot metering' and I'm hoping it can help, but haven't had chance to do a real-world test.
Just done a bit of reading. It seems like in centre-weighted metering mode, it can expose for your forks (my bike in chest cam mode) or a bright sky too much.
Having said that, spot metering could possibly expose right in the centre which might be fine for helmet/chest, but in yours the fork bridge may confuse it.
Let me know how you get on with that Alex. I thought the only settings you could change were for definition.
Not a bad start tho.
First time using Vegas.
Second ever ride on the bike and my arm and wrist are still very fragile. Should be good. Need some different views when my riding's back up to scratch.
