I am almost certain that I'm the closest CCE member to you :-)</p> <p>Happy to help with video editing too, given that I share a vested interest in the results with you. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16499#post-222307 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 14:42:09 +0000 Morningsider 222307@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thank you all for the generous offers. Given that my commute sometimes crosses that of Roiberad, it probably makes sense to take up his offer. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16499#post-222293 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:36:16 +0000 wingpig 222293@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Garmin's VIRB edit is as usable for basic splicing/trimming as anything I've been able to get running. Contour clips work fine when their extension is changed to .MP4.</p> <p>Also have a Contour and a strappy helmet-mount but also a VIRB with an easily-re-clamped handlebar-mount. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16499#post-222292 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:31:22 +0000 kaputnik 222292@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Another Contour Roam plus assorted fittings here (although the helmet mount is well stuck down to my own lid). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16499#post-222290 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:19:16 +0000 Roibeard 222290@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've a few GoPros with various mounts - also happy to loan.</p> <p>Unfortunately not including a <a href="http://shop.gopro.com/EMEA/mounts/chesty-chest-harness/GCHM30-001.html">chest mount</a>, but feel free to buy one for me!</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16499#post-222286 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 12:58:13 +0000 chrisfl 222286@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have a contour camera and a helmet mount you could borrow. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16499#post-222283 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 12:55:50 +0000 Arellcat 222283@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In the interests of parity, iMovie on the Mac is pretty good* for bundled software.</p> <p>* Except the version I have, which can't even do slow-mo stuff. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16499#post-222281 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 12:47:31 +0000 I were right about that saddle 222281@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Microsoft Movie Maker is free on PCs and perfectly good for basic film making. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16499#post-222276 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 12:43:58 +0000 Morningsider 222276@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Does anyone have a helmet camera they would be willing to lend me for a few days? </p> <p>Mini-morningsider and some of his friends are going to video the rubbish pedestrian and cycling environment around their school, and the terrible driving and parking at drop-off and pick-up times. The aim being to compile a short video giving a kids eye view of all this, which we will use to lobby the council for improvements.</p> <p>I can collect/drop-off from anywhere in the city.</p> <p>Also - any suggestions for video editing software welcome. I've never really done anything like this before. </p>
