Mr. Polonia

I think i mustve watched your video like 10 times. Since ive been doing video edits myself ever since i got myself a gopro as well, i do appreciate the time and effort it mustve taken you.

I cant even imagine how long it took for youtube to upload that video of yours how big of a file was that? 3gb?

i just finally learned how to use Mac's iMovie maker....its a so so program for beginners...but i think im ready to purchase a better program with more possibilities. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the kind words. We used the basic sticky mounts for the helmets shots, and a pole from eyeofmine.com. The car shots were done using the gopro suction cup mount.

Im pretty sure at the time youtubes max was 1gb so i kept adjusting my bitrate while exporting till it was just under a gig. Facebook ironicly enough allows for 2gb. If you want the full quality version i have it on vimeo as well with a download option. If your just starting out imovie is great but if your willing to learn final cut express is a great stepping stone until your ready for final cut studio. Good luck and thanks for the kind words.

Heres the vimeo link. 09/10 snowboarding season on Vimeo The download is in the bottom right. That version is at 1.6 gigs. its all in the compression my friend.

Burke, I'm really wanting FCE and I'm about to take the plunge. But, do you have any idea/heard any info if Apple's gonna be releasing an updated version of FCE any time soon??? I don't want to drop $200 on FCE only to have a new version roll out soon! It's been a long time since it's been updated and I just purchased a Canon HF S20 with native 24p(which FCE4 does not support). Wait or go ahead and purchase FCE4?

Now this is what snowboarding is all about. Friends, good times, good memories. This is definitely one of my favorite snowboarding videos now. Heck, I want to start filming in the near future because of this.

Thanks for sharing this and amazing job done man!

Never knew this thread was on here. Randomly stumbled on this vid on youtube about a month back. I've watched it a dozen times since then. Super well done, Interesting and enjoyable. Vids like this make me want to go board. Make sure to post up next years as well, if you do another.

You can never truely know when apple will release a new product. With that said steve jobs has responded to consumer emails in the past saying a final cut studio update is coming soon and we will not be disapointed. This if true of course doesnt exactly mean that express will get updated although i would think it would. So as far as me answering that question i have NO IDEA lol. Congrats on the new camera. If your running a mac which god i hope you are considering your asking about final cut, i would recommend mpeg streamclip. Its a free software which can convert whatever clips you have into a apple friendly format. If you using final cut express convert your clips to apple intermediate codec. If you are using final cut pro use apple pro res 422. I am not saying that there are ways to get final cut studio or final cut express free or that i would know how to do that, but if you pm me im sure i could help you with other questions you might have about other things that have nothing to do with pirating final cut.

Thankyou for the views. We only have about 4k views on youtube which by youtube standards might as well be 0, but its nice to think that others are enjoying watching us have a blast on the hill. We have been filming alot this year and although we didnt have any big trips this year, we think we are still going to be able to make a great video. We are experimenting with some new mounts and are trying to push our riding to a level that is respected by most of our viewers lol. I always stress that its more about us making video that we can look back on when we are older and remember the good times, but at the same time i want to have something that is impressive to people who can actually ride. I will for sure post it when its finished and hope that everyone enjoys it as much as last years.
