Proposal Video

Blindside_137 · 10-18-2016, 01:58 PM

Hello everyone!

I don't believe I have ever posted in the photography section. But I have always had a hobby of video editing back when I was wakeboarding a lot in high school. It was always fun putting together a string of jumps to the music for a short clip.

I recently got a go pro as a gift from family last Christmas and haven't had much time to use it other than a snowstorm in February, and then this past weekend when I filmed my weekend at the beach proposing to my girlfriend.

**EDIT**
After exporting at 1080 and uploading to youtube it finally is up. Make sure to change the quality when you watch it. Let me know what you think!

So the video is from a Hero 4 Silver, I filmed in 2.7k at 30 fps to make sure it is high enough quality to grab still images from. When it comes to exporting I am a total noob. I exported in the highest quality possible and did the custom setting in GoPro studio, which kept the quality at 2.7k at 30 fps. My plan was to put it on my vimeo page, but the 600MB video exceeds my 500MB limit as a free user. So I uploaded it to youtube which then only let me use 360p as the highest quality.

I'm excited to share it with you all. It was an absolute blast of a weekend, and I had a ton of fun putting this video together. I just don't know the best way to get it out there.

Thank you! I will post it once I get some help, or if the youtube setting turns out to export the video with decent quality.

Thanks! I was in Virginia for the last two years, but now I am down in Fayetteville. I try to come back to Raleigh for any car meets that I can but it isn't too often. I'm doing great though, how about you?

I am not doing so bad for myself, got engaged early this year in March so I am a pretty happy guy. Expect it to stay that way.

Glad you liked it!

The song is in the video description. It's a remix of faded from Zhu, the remix is by Delacroix and delatour. I got it off beatport I believe.

Here is a video link
