help me explain by making video of trip
I have many friends who just don't get what my adventures are about. They all kinda glaze over when I try and explain and say where? how? and so on.
My plan is to try and explain by means of a video of our next trip, my wife and I that is.
I have one of those small bullet waterproof HD 1080 DV cameras which does make good video recordings. The sound is no good and mounted on the bike or helmet it will only show boring road journeys which I hate to see. It's just not interesting enough for me let alone "non believers " Some footage will be useful obviously and can be cherry picked . Its there so may as well use it.
To capture the other stuff I need to get a hand held cam with a screen so I can see what I'm shooting. Also add audio description where required. Now this is where it gets complex for me. Never messed with all this stuff. Tech stuff does not scare me, but I am fully aware of the problems of compatibility between various equipment and the fight that usually follows to get it all to do what you want. Bearing in mind I have this cheap bullet DV cam and need some hand held device, the end result will need to be messed around with, using video software.
What software is going to give the least trouble for me using two DV cams?
I am hoping that all I need to do to make it easy to start with is buy another HD 1080 DV cam ( hand held). Is this enough to make editing straight forward or is it far more complex. ?
Or is this trouble in the making and better to use one cam for everything?
All the edit stuff will be done at home on a PC on our return. The video thing can not take over the trip and become a PITA but it would be nice to have a go.
