I bought a Insta 360 X3 camera to make riding videos

All these videos are just for practice. I think I'm probably getting close to first base now. After watching a couple more how too vids I was actually able to understand what it was talking about. I tried a couple of things that didn't show up in the video. Maybe next time.

This video was the first one I added a soundtrack to. I used YouTube canned music just to see how it worked. I like having a soundtrack in my videos, and I think it's almost as important as the content.. I redid this the soundtrack for this video. I think this song better matches the way this video makes me feel.
 
I usually only record for a few minutes at a time. After a ride I end up with 6 or seven files. So far I can't figure out how to combine more than one file in a video with the studio app. I'm sure it can be done. I also feel very restricted because I don't like to edit videos on my phone because the small screen. My laptop is too underpowered to play a video in the 360 studio app, but I can use it to edit frame by frame. It's cumbersome to do it that way, and the only way I can see how it really looks is to save the video. I'm going to have to buy a new computer with better specs to really take advantage of this camera, but until then I'll keep playing with it and keep trying to figure it out better.

TUNES!!
:cool:
 
Back to the 360 camera, but I didn't buy a new computer. I bought a new bike instead. In the meantime I've kind of learned ways to work around my old computers shortcomings. It's still very limiting, but I can still practice editing. This is my latest work showing my sons B52 riding with my new BGX chopper.
 
Some random comments on this:
  • Don't be self-conscious about taking some time to learn this. If I had to guess from your likeness, I'd guess you're ~65 years old, and to be tackling video with a 360° camera with phone app and computer app is not easy. It wouldn't be easy for me, a bit younger. (48)
  • No helmet or gloves? :oops: Sorry to nag on that, but I've had a full face motorcycle helmet save my life thrice, and your eBike is as fast as a motorcycle.
  • That drivetrain is VERY quiet!
  • Your suspension looks to work very well, probably better than any street-type eBike, where they don't really take suspension seriously.
  • How do you control which perspective your camera is showing or shooting?
The one time I tried video editing, it was a real time vampire, but I was using YouTube's software. I may give this a try myself. I see that it is compatible with iPhone and I'm about ready to upgrade my computer. I have probably an 8 year old PC laptop that is struggling. I'm thinking of going to a lower-end Mac.
