Marto303 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have the footage from Graham Franklands spin at Loton park yesterday which I want to post as usual, trouble is the video is 23 mins long and I cant upload to youtube. Can anyone help with software required to trim this down to the few mins needed ? I have it saved as a quick time MOV file I think.

Lyonspride Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 You could try VideoMach, it's free and no malware/etc. There are other packages, but it's really hard to know which to trust, as most get a single recommendation on random forums, by new users who then disappear.

AdamR Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I think GoPro Studio should be able to handle that... http://shop.gopro.com/EMEA/softwareandapp/gopro-studio-edit-software/GoPro-Studio.html#/start=1 http://gopro.com/support/articles/getting-started-with-cineform-studio As an aside, I noticed your last few videos have been fairly 'choppy' in how the footage looks, rather than smooth - I think you might be recording in 4k mode which is only 12fps hence the choppiness, if you want any help with the camera just give me a shout!

Marto303 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks Adam What should I be recording in instead of 4K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamf Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 RaceRender Or you can configure YouTube to allow larger videos to be uploaded. I don't have this information at hand but can dig it out later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickmaster Andy Lowe Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I like race render too or windows movie maker is also easy to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Go pro studio as Adam says. If you don't get the gopro settings figure out I scan help, Off the top of my head I use 50fps and 720p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yeah, I was gonna suggest 720p (or 1080) and 50fps - you'll munch much less memory card space, the footage will be much smoother, and still be more than adequate quality for web use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Actually do we really want to watch Martos driving skills in HD?! Probably best with 240! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marto303 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks guys but Go Pro studio won't trim a non go pro video, just trying to sort it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2rrr Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I changed a few parameters from my daughters video of me doing the ice bucket bit just yesterday from her phone using Go pro studio. File was mov and it converted it to avi or something else and I could alter the quality to reduce the file size. Then I ran out of skill and could only reduce the file size by about 20%.

Marto303 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 All sorted with quick time on the mac Thanks for all the advice guys Adam / Russ I'll check those settings on the go pro too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHew Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 What's the matter with using (the free) Windows Movie Maker??? When used alongside Format Factory or similar it's a great free tool.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
