You're welcome. I wasn't sure about non-GoPro video but I have just imported a vid I took on an iPhone and it edited it fine.

One particularly cool feature is if you take time-lapse photos the Studio software converts them to video, it's then up to you to chose frame rates etc.

what time laps did you take this at, was it taken from Yan's balcony?

That is great I love Binic and have visited many times in the past and have promised my wife I will take her there this coming summer, I assume that this was after the new gate.what time laps did you use was it taken from Yan's balcony?
Regards Mike

Hi Mike, yes Binic is a great place (apart from the noise in August :nonchalance

The new gate was installed but Greg, Yan and the team did seem to be hitting it with big hammers quite often

Interesting watching the tidal flow patterns.

The timings for the video were 1 frame every 5 seconds played back at 30 fps. I had the GoPro plugged into the mains as the battery is only good for 2h10m

I was really lucky that it was a large coefficient (107) with HW at dusk, then the fireworks kicking in as it got dark.

The Tourist Office posted the vid on their website.

I use Sony Vegas. It can be a little daunting at first, but there are lots of tutorials available on YouTube. A good free bit of software to get started on is Windows Movie Maker.

This was all filmed with a GoPro and edited in Sony Vegas:

Here are some great tips that may also help:

What did you use to make your Logo Intro ?

I have just started to use Lightworks http://www.lwks.com/

I movie on I pad is pretty simple and lots of gimics - take a look on my blog most of the intro stuff takes just a few minutes to create

I use Sony Vegas for all the editing (including titles etc).

This could also be quite a good bit of software:

If you are using a Go-Pro and Go-Pro studio, two top tips that will make your videos more viewable for many people.

1) in the camera settings menu look at field of view - default is extra wide which gives the trademark fisheye look to Go-Pro videos. Do you really need it that wide - take it down to wide or medium which is still plenty for typical shots.

2) in GP studios in the advanced conversion section you have the option to remove fisheye. It's not perfect but does make a serious difference.

Once you have converted all the clips you can then edit in your software package of choice.

I will second that - I find the fisheye really disconcerting as it makes the boat cockpit look like a tennis court, the helmsman's arse look as big as an elephant, the crew look tiny , the mast is curved, as is the horizon, and the sails look like tea towells.

Great boats ... Don't understand the kicking they get on here !

Might have been something to do with the keels falling off - regards

Although if your arse is as big as an elephant then it may not be the cameras fault!!
