New To Motovlogging

[wrench]

Hi ya'll!
My name is Andrew and like my title said I'm new to this community. So a little info about myself, I live in Ontario, Canada (woo! RAPTORS, BLUE JAYS, MAPLE LEAF!). The city of awesome fans but not so awesome teams.

Im 30 years old and I work as an HVAC technician (heating, A/C).
I was first introduce to riding back in 2011 and boy was it love at first ride! my current pony is a yamaha r6. I do have plenty of other hobbies that consumes my time like fishing, hunting, gun range, paintball, and snowboarding, but none of them affected me more than my love of 2 wheels. Which leads me to motovlogging.

I've put serious thought into this and finally decided that i will just go for it and see what happens next. I am currently in the middle of setting up my video/audio equipment and havent posted anything yet. Im hoping to upload my first intro Mvlog this month.

So far Ive got a gopro hero 3 connected to my sena smh10. Im still looking for a decent editing program so if you guys have any suggestion (something thats user friendly) for a pc.

Any tips or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Ohh by the way i was thinking about wrenchmonkey as my youtube name.

thanks guys for reading my novel! Lol, but seriously im looking forward sharing stories with ya'll.

Welcome.. If you want to test the waters with free video editor you can try the Windows Live Movie Maker. Super basic but with a twist here and there you can make it work till you decide to go for something more advanced. Ride safe, safe ride!

Thanks sighbored.

yea ill give that a try. I also did some google search. Adobe is one of the favored editor but that's too advance for me. I was leaning towards cyberlink power director 13.0.

In the meantime ill try WMM.

Thanks guys. glad i joined this forum. Support system is awesome!

@RealRider. That sounds even better. Most of the program i saw was at least $100.
