what do you use to edit the gopro video?
I have a gp2 and use a mac. iMovie doesnt like the format and I always have to import and futz around... my movies suck because of my lack of proper process.

Ok, that was very cool! Almost makes me wish I had decided to build a 7 instead of a 9.... almost! ;-)

take 2 with another perspective...
 
A really nice day for filming aerobatics... this time with the GoPro wingtip mounted.

This is a fun bit of tossing around starting with a 3-1/2 turn spin... including lots of sweeping aerobatics with a couple of 1-1/2 turn spins and a full reversal spin (these are amazing in the cockpit but no so much from this view)

Don't get DizZy...

I picked up some condensation within the camera housing during filming and will need to get some desiccant inserts to take care of that.

I am filming with the GoPro in 1080P full HiDef at 60fps and the file size is quite large.

The key to quickly editing big files is to avoid ANY re-encoding.

Regarding software. I am using a free mac based program called MPEG Streamclip to cut and trim pieces from the raw data to get a smaller more finished product. For YouTube I am uploading that file and letting the YouTube processors deal with re-encoding and downsampling to the various formats. For my use I take the video file (this one was nearly 2Gb) and running it through Handbrake (a great mac program) to re-encode to a high quality HD standard using the preset for Apple TV3 which brings the file size down to a very manageable 350Mb.

fun spins
 
Nice videos, and hope you go to the IAC contest, Beaver State, 23-24 August in Pendleton, OR. Even if you don't compete, you'll enjoy the friendly folks and see a free airshow. Competing once was on my bucket list a few years ago, and now I'm addicted.

That was awesome. I hope it was as much fun as it looks. Getting aerobatic training is on my list.
