Hi - New Texas Motovlogger

[Mr-P]

Hello people of the interwebs!

Just introducing myself.

I'm a new motovlogger in the FTW Texas area. I've had a camera on my helmet for over a year now, but just recently started posting (I mean like Saturday kind of recently 20151114). The Audio is rather interesting right now while I figure out good mic positioning.

A little bit about me personally...
I work in IT for a living and ride an HD Sportster (I love sportbikes too!). I ride mostly every day back and forth all year round.

A little bit about my channel...
I plan to upload 1-2 videos weekly every Friday and or Saturday (maybe both ||). Right now I kind of just talk about whatever with no real set topic. Videos will generally be around 10 minutes (It takes god awful forever to render a 20 minute video).

My Setup...
Sena SMH10 for audio (This is going to be changed - I sound like i'm on a walky talky (audacity barely fixes this))
Gopro Hero 3 for video (Old faithful)
HJC to hold it all together

My Goals with motovlogging...
Have fun

The video on there now is not the greatest, but hey it was my first attempt!


I do accept all constructive criticism!

Welcome. There are a few DFW guys on here, including me! You may want to consider editing down to 5 minutes or less if you can get away with it. Unless you just have 10 whole minutes of really good content, it's tough to keep peoples' attention longer than about 5 minutes and a lot of people will skip over longer vids entirely. When I started all of my vids were 15 minutes long or so. Now I try to stay around 5.

Hi dandoolittle,

Thanks for the warm welcome! I will keep that in mind.

Gotta love DFW! Although the weather here isn't exactly pleasant right now. I will take that into account. I will say 5 minutes would be perfect would take me less than 30 minutes tor render that. I made a video yesterday that is 20ish minutes long. I have to go back through and shrink that. Might even split it into 2 different vlogs. Thanks for the advice however and if you are ever in the NRH/Keller area hit me up i'd love to go for a ride!

For sure. My riding/recording has been spotty lately due to weather and me generally being a lazy ass. On my old computer, which was from 2009, it took me over an hour to render a 5 minute video. It finally puked so I got a new one and now it takes me about 8-10 minutes! It's amazing what updated hardware and a decent graphics card will do.
