Feels great to get a good finish after setbacks all day, almost feels better than the whole day going well, which is something I haven't experienced this year, but thus is racing haha

What happened towards the end there? Did you just lock up the rear?
@chevypower22350Ай бұрын
No I was trying to see how far I could drive it into the corners since I was in no mans land. The rear stepped out and just kept sliding.

How did you get the GoPro video to be not so pixely? Mine looks terrible. edit: The original video is crispy clean but when I export to upload to youtube it's pixely.
@chevypower223502 жыл бұрын
kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hL6edaacq5_OhYU.html I used this video and the DaVinci software to upload it. The most important part is at the end locking in the kbps. KZfaq will compress the quality of anything you upload so that basically garuntees a minimum quality.
@CaptainAwesomeness2 жыл бұрын
Depends on what camera you have, but on GoPro Hero 7 Black and up I record in 1080p 60fps as my minimum, which allows for hyper smooth stabilization and therefore very clean video recordings.

@bananabread14702 жыл бұрын
@@CaptainAwesomeness Also the reason I didn't just upload the original video was because for some reason the GoPro seperates anything above 8 minutes 52 seconds into seperate videos, but if I change the FPS to a lower FPS, it seperates at 11 minutes 58 seconds. The time limit on recording is set to none.
@CaptainAwesomeness2 жыл бұрын
@@bananabread1470 oh yeah HitFilm does have limitations. I think you're dealing with rendering quality. For that I tend to render in at least 1080p 60fps. I use either a paid program (Vegas Pro) or a free program (DaVinci Resolve) depending on which of my computers I'm using to edit my videos. I can tell you free ones tend to be a bit difficult to work with sometimes.
