My feeble attempt at a YouTube intro...
« on: June 28, 2013, 07:05:22 PM »
I ride a 2012 Kymco Like 200i and have had it a little less than a year. I should roll over 3,000 miles in the coming week.  I decided to "attempt" to make a short intro video for my YouTube channel and here it is.  My creativity and editing skills are sorely lacking but I guess I'll get better over time.  The videos on my channel are all mostly recorded from my helmet cam while riding.  Some are exciting near death experiences, others are not. :)  Anyway, thanks for watching.  Ride safe y'all!

I thought it was neat. Well done.

As a matter of fact, I hope you post some more vids.

I thought it was pretty smooth and well done. I recently got a GoPro Hero3 White and wanna know how you post this stuff without slamming into some data wall. Any suggestions?

Data wall?  Not sure what you mean by that.

Data Wall.... a wall of datas with lots of this and thats... usually a teaching aid..


What Crossbolt meant was he just got a new camera and would need some easy steps on how to post pics...

I thought it was pretty darn good. Only suggestion would be to shorten it. Or, simply, speed up the clip. How do you like the GoPro? I have a Polaroid XS100HD, and it's a damn good camera. I avoided this gen GoPro's because of some shady reviews. Especially when I read that GoPro filters out most of their negative reviews so their ratings remain high on their website.

I do not have a GoPro.  I never even considered them because they are so bulky and the battery life is horrible. I have a Midland XTC 200 HD Action Cam that cost less than $100 USD and will record just over 3 hours on a 16GB microSD card.  The only drawback to it is that it does not have an external mic jack (it does have a built in mic).  Supposedly, Midland will be releasing a new camera later this year that has that feature.

As for length, it is only to introduce my channel on YouTube, not be an intro before every video.  The intro I use for all my videos is only about 5 seconds long.

Data wall... never heard that before.  I just play around with various software packages to figure out how to do things.  I use VideoPad and Sony Vegas Pro 12 for video editing, and PhotoShop for picture editing.  Lots of people use the Microsoft video editor (it is free) but it lacks many features.  I'm still learning and consider myself a noob but I am making progress.  I think.

I liked your short video.  I actually just picked up the a 2013 Like 200i same color as in your video.  Waiting on the chrome crash bars to arrive from Kymco and possibly looking to add a windscreen soon.
