@ Pook

the rut just before the stream is going to be turned into a berm however there aren't any more plans for building more after the stream. Work is currently done on the top straight after you come off the open fields, there are already a few tight corners dug in if you drop off to the right hand side quite soon after you cross the road and head down the track. I think the plan is to then take those new corners back towards the main track.

It was a bit of built up wall stuff on the drop down by the tree i was thinking about really, just after before you pop up on to the main path near the graveyard - other stuff I'm not aware of but would happily be shown!

@ coastkid- I like that film, well done. It made me want to go out and ride, and explore, with a hip flask full of Jura and a thermos full of coffee!

Nice one....

@ philconsequence, (from page 1)

Based near Northwich, Delemere is the closest useful place for a decent ride.

new PC arrived yesterday, Adobe premiere loaded, "snow ride jo" footage imported... 2 hours editing then i finally click on "ripple edit" which means the last 2 hours learning/cutting and moving around could have been done in 5 minutes, lesson learnt, bed time.

more editing tonight but with increased efficiency!

Compilation of some clips from the summer. All of it shot in BC, but definitely fits in the jey-trail-XC category. ;o)

Look into 3 point editing, it saves a [b]lot[/b] of time and is pretty much the standard way to get a rough cut which can then be fine tuned if necessary with all the other editing tools such as ripple etc.

Oh and if possible and if you haven't already, I would look into Premiere CS5, it's way better than previous CS versions as in it actually handles HD footage properly.

I may have missed you already mentioning it but how are you getting on with that "cheaper" gopro alternative you posted about getting?

cc on your edit, generally a nice pace (possibly a bit long though) and the footage looks good, but I would avoid using so many cross dissolve video transitions, majority of cuts on anything will be straight cuts as loads of dissolves tends to look a bit cheap/tacky. Also noticed a few times that the audio wasn't cross dissolved - always do this as it "eases" it in better (ooer) and doesn't sound so jarring. It may also be worth looking into L-cuts.

PhilC - I'd probably have liked that if you'd condensed it to around 90s running time.
Great effort for a first go tho.

cheers chaps ๐Ÿ™‚

tom, good idea on the L-cuts... watched it through so many times today i'd stopped noticing the audio! will edit down a shorter version and sort out the audio at some point, think i'll keep the music and edit that down as i love the pace and feel of it with the snowy landscape.

getting rid of most of those dissolves will take some time but can definitely see it needs to be done.

overall i'm pretty pleased with it for a first go using the computer, using the software (cs5) and using a computer to edit a video since 9 years ago at college.

Chaps - I'm having a mare getting mov files so I can edit them on windows.

I've installed Premiere Pro 7 but that won't import mov files. It just does nothing.

I'm trying to convert to avis but am losing massive amounts of quality. Also despite the created avi being 1024x576, on import to Ppro, it reverts to 768x576 randomly.

What are your [b][i]foolproof[/i][/b] tried and tested processes, programmes and steps to getting mov files edited on a PC?

pook - the vid i did was filmed on Hdmax extreme which saves the footage as .mov files. I'm running Adobe Premiere pro cs5.... expensive software and your pc system has to be running quite a specific/high spec for the program to work. cyberlink power editor (think thats the name) if i remember correctly can do .MOV files

yesterdays footage... not what i was planning or wanted to film, but i'm quite pleased with what i've managed to put together ๐Ÿ™‚

Jo took 2 hours to get ready to ride so we ended up running out of time to get to my intended filming spot and made a break for home before the light went... this was filmed on the way back.

properly rendered snow ride, longer more chilled version (old version had some flashing where i had missed a bit of rendering)

shortened version, less dissolve cuts, some colour correction and contrast adjustment, tidied up sound.

Some great vids chaps.

Same spot as above.

First time at these trails and first time using the gopro. Instead of some epic open mountain footage like the start of Wheelz vid, all I got was a solitary picture of me putting my helmet on. ๐Ÿ˜ณ
