First GoPro Video
Was fooling around with brand new GoPro camera on Saturday, trying to figure out different settings, etc.. Downloaded the results, stitched it together using the (free) GoPro editing software, and came out with something kinda nice if you ask me.
Might serve as inspiration to keep pounding rivets.

To give credit where credit is due, one of the usual suspects at the airport donated the camera to all of us to see what we could do with it. He spent his entire career working at Kodak, so he knows about cameras even though he retired in 1982.
Before he worked for Kodak he did a stint working for the government.
Thanks Mac!

Like the passing the Cessna like it was standing still.
Good video.

Great first video... keep em coming...
Nice video. Looks like you were having fun. I agree with the statement above, I liked the part where you pass the slow flying Cessna. Well done.

GoPro video question
That was outstanding video and it sure looked cold out! It was 80 degrees here in SoCal on Saturday.
I just got a GoPro and have started to use it while flying. Tried too edit my first video using the GoPro software. Does it take as long or longer to
"decompress" the video prior to editing than the length of the clip itself, or am I doing something wrong??

Dabney, it took quite a while to perform that last step of compressing the video to the desired format. I tried several formats, and they all took a long time.
It was warmer than it has been around here (high 20s), but we just had an ice storm a few days earlier (took the power out for three days) and today it's 7...good day to fool with a computer...

Great video; beautiful country. RVs and Mooneys are my two favorite types!

kudos, and some questions
Great video, especially well-chosen music.
At takeoff and climbout, I wondered how you created the stark beauty of "black and white" with the GoPro... until I realized it was recorded in color.
Can you share details on the closing, i.e. Mac, the aircraft and mission in his picture (airmail delivery?), and the kiwi roundel?
thanks!
