nice video. looks fun!


Q:why do you ride around with your helmet strapped to your leg? isn’t that annoying? it sure looks more stupid than having it on your head.

it’s for holding his sandwiches lol
i bet there’s a park with a mandatory helmet rule, so apart from that it’s SOOOO uncool to wear the helmet it’s better to have it banging off your leg most of the day

Looks awesome! What settings? Did you do any colour correction in post?

yes a little bit of contrast

me and my friend used 2 gopro hero3 black edition
my camera setted on 720 x 60fps protune on (used for flat tricks, you can notice the difference)
during powder session my friend soulkite used 1080 x 60fps protune off

I don’t like protune mode… I think it needs a post editing color correction, beacause it’s not clear.. and definition seems worse.. i don’t understand why..

In the future I’ll use the camera in the classic way, protune off.

It’s because in Protune your capturing uncompressed video.
With it off the camera is processing the footage, correcting it on the go.

Like jpg v’s RAW (RAW=Protune)
Processing is absolutely necessary when using Protune - it also uses more battery and memory.

what parameters do you think are important when processing a video record with protune on?

Haven’t gotten around to editing any yet.

Colour and contrast are the two I’ve read everyone tweak.
I won’t have time to edit any footage myself for a few weeks.

A general rule is; 30% contrast adjustment of any other adjustments made (colour/brightness) - this is just a guideline and might be 30% of the other to the % of contrast. - No time to check, I’m heading to the beach! but it’s obvious which way once your doing the editing.

ok, thank you smile
in the next “protuned” videos I’ll try to adjust some color/contrast/brightness paramaters
