But I  had a week off work and with the weather being a bit crap I decided to give it a final push over the line. I have no idea how many hours it took to edit the video but its probably well over 50 and might be closer to 100&#8230; bonkers, I know! And that&#8217;s obviously ignoring the 160 hours of time spent building the car to create the time-lapse itself. It too me two days just to add captions to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video is a bit rough in places, but I wanted to get something out as I hope its a useful addition to my (and others) blog. My problem with the video over the past 2 years has been that I really wanted\/needed to make it twice as long as it currently is, to be able to say all I wanted to about the build. But even now at 33minutes there will be very few people that watch it, and at over an hour I could pretty much guarantee that nobody would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note from future self: The video went a bit viral in the end. As of Feb 2021 it\u2019s had over 160k views. That\u2019s 160k more views than I thought it would have when I uploaded it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the video is what it is. If I was doing this video again then I&#8217;d make a better job of the audio. Both the pieces to camera and the voice over of the build itself could really do with less noise on the audio and a compressor applied to lift some of the quiet phrases. The voice over for sessions 1 to 15 had the microphone gain set too high and was hitting the limiter and I should really have re-recorded it again once I&#8217;d got to the final wording I wanted to use &#8211; the result that ended up in the video was something like 600 sections of audio cut and spliced together and took me weeks to edit down to something that sounds vaguely ok to listen to. There&#8217;s nearly 8000 words spoken in the video &#8211; no small undertaking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if I was setting up the GoPros at the start of the build again, then I&#8217;d make sure I took a bit more time to get a good close-up of what I was doing at each stage of the build. Certainly 3 GoPros made for a better video I think. One would not have worked for me, two would have been a minimum and four would have taken forever to edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t quite remember now, but I think I set the GoPros to record the time-lapse with 30s intervals. I used 3 GoPro Hero 6 Blacks for the main time-lapse. They&#8217;re the first GoPros (I think) to have in-built support for time-lapse. Prior to the Hero 6 Black you had to get the cameras to save stills and then stitch them back together to make a movie afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Video and Audio Gear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the garage I had 3 GoPro Hero Black 6&#8217;s. They were set to time-lapse at 30s intervals. Each was set to run at the start of a session and stopped at the end. I used GoPro flexible gooseneck mounts to attach them around the garage and plugged them into mains power via USB to keep them going for up to a whole day. Each had a 64GB Sandisk memory card in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also used my iPhone to take over 800 photos that became the blog, but also used it to take some video at times &#8211; the side on shot of the engine starting up is shot on iPhone for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the &#8220;to camera&#8221; section I used a Canon EOS RP and 15-28mm F2.8 lens to get the blurred background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When recording audio I use a Zoom F6 in 32 bit mode and then either a Rode Wireless Go and lavalier microphone or a Rode NTG, also into the Zoom F6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Editing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The video was edited in Final Cut Pro X on a selection of Macs and the whole project was about 2TB of footage and proxy media&#8230; the proxies were needed because I had to speed the video up in two stages &#8211; since FCP can\u2019t do more than a 20x speed up in one go. So one stage was 20x and the next was 12.5x, giving a total of around 250x. With hind-sight I would have created sped up versions of the GoPro footage, exported it and re-imported it again to save the proxy space at 4k. All the video was shot in 4k to give me room to crop and zoom if I needed it. I also created multi-cam clips in FCP to be able to cut from one camera to another more easily. However, that didn&#8217;t always work and there are a couple of sections of the video that repeat but from different camera angles. If I were doing it again, then I&#8217;d pay a lot more attention to the time\/date settings on the cameras to help get the clips synchronised &#8211; and probably used time-code generators&#8230; that sounds overkill but it would have saved so much time in the edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many YouTube videos, the edit got pretty complicated with all the graphics, overlays and animations. Here&#8217;s just the first 2 minutes of the edit timeline for the intro&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"547\" data-attachment-id=\"6552\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/index.php\/2020\/07\/21\/build-a-caterham-420r-in-30-minutes-youtube-video\/intro-final-cut-pro-image\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Intro-Final-Cut-Pro-Image.png\" data-orig-size=\"3428,916\" 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=\"Intro-Final-Cut-Pro-Image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Intro-Final-Cut-Pro-Image-2048x547.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Intro-Final-Cut-Pro-Image-2048x547.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Intro-Final-Cut-Pro-Image-2048x547.png 2048w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Intro-Final-Cut-Pro-Image-600x160.png 600w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Intro-Final-Cut-Pro-Image-768x205.png 768w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Intro-Final-Cut-Pro-Image-1536x410.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption>View of Intro section of the video  in Final Cut Pro X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, as I say&#8230; it is what it is.
