Video Camera & Software Set Up - What Do You Use?
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2015 8:34 pm
I'm currently considering upgrading my current helmet cam/video editing software for a very large cross country trip next summer.
My current set up is a Contour Roam 2+. Sadly Contour went out of business in 2012 so my camera is no longer supported. What I struggle with is the quality of the images - the camera can only do 1080p - 30 frames/min. or 720p - 60 frames/min. I need more as the images are not crisp and require a faster film rate to not blur out the video while moving.
As far as software, as I'm on a PC, I am using the crappy Windows Live Movie Maker - which is extremely limiting in terms of creative options. Looking for a more advanced but easy to learn/use program that will allow me to expand my editing options to produce a more professional production.
So chime in folks - looking for lots of input before I put my requests on my Christmas list!
Thanks!
