I always think the music makes the difference to a blat video but others don&#8217;t always agree. My problem is that with blat videos, especially on a Caterham where the camera is often in the wind stream, all you get is wind noise on the camera microphone. You can obviously add extra mics and\/or additional recorders to get an authentic sound but in this particularly instance, I just chucked the GoPro on the car and went for a drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, as a bonus clip for all you avid readers, here&#8217;s a version of the drive with just the on-board audio&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sfjTjsUt510\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That clip is not searchable on YouTube, you have to know the link to be able to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Tech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I used a GoPro Max (360 degree camera) mounted to the top centre of the roll-over-bar to get the shot. I left the camera running for the whole 30 something minutes I was out in the car. That created about 30GB of footage to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I then used GoPro&#8217;s Mac app to work through the footage and create four 1080p linear (not 360 degree) short clips. Each clip used key frames to set the camera view, selecting a linear shot from the whole 360 degree field of view as I went. I then exported each clip and created the final montage in Final Cut Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in Final Cut Pro I created the graphics, used some tracking plugins to make the floating text effects work, and then added the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In total I spent about 20 hours to create 101 seconds of video! Much of that time was learning how to use GoPro&#8217;s software, how to use some new tracking plugins and making all the clips work in time with the music. I could probably make the same sort of video again in about 1\/4 of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the 360 images look like before they&#8217;re processed&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Single-360-Frame-of-Clifton-Suspension-Bridge-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1280\" data-attachment-id=\"6411\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/07\/11\/driving-clifton-suspension-bridge-youtube-video\/single-360-frame-of-clifton-suspension-bridge\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Single-360-Frame-of-Clifton-Suspension-Bridge-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Single 360 Frame of Clifton Suspension Bridge\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;GorPro Max shot of Clifton Suspension Bridge in a Caterham 420R&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Single-360-Frame-of-Clifton-Suspension-Bridge-2048x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Single-360-Frame-of-Clifton-Suspension-Bridge-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Single-360-Frame-of-Clifton-Suspension-Bridge-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Single-360-Frame-of-Clifton-Suspension-Bridge-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Single-360-Frame-of-Clifton-Suspension-Bridge-2048x1024.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Single-360-Frame-of-Clifton-Suspension-Bridge-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Single-360-Frame-of-Clifton-Suspension-Bridge-1536x768.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>GorPro Max shot of Clifton Suspension Bridge in a Caterham 420R<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoyed that short post!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a quicky&#8230; The weather was good and we were coming out of lockdown, so decided to get the car out for its first small run of the year.
