One day I'll take my my ole Canon 7D out so I can get some of those great facial expression shots when we're falling . Surfing is such a fun thing to do and thankfully the spills aren't bad. Bill ate some wake sammich on a few of those but so glad he got ropeless!
Yes the artifacting has gotten worse over the years on YT. Ironically if you're a big time YT'r there is no quality loss or so it it seems :/
What's strange is on the surf video is as soon as it went live I had a slew of strange retweets and questionable "Likes" on my Twitter feed (it's linked to my YT account) from local environmental and water pollution control agencies . Strangely a few days later some dolt came into the YT comment section of the surf video and said "Man, I'm sure people with docks and seawalls love you jack-legs" to which I responded "We don't do this by someone's dock or property. That's a d*ck move just like jumping to assumptions. Way to judge someone....". A day later I get a Content Strike on my YT account (not Copyright Claim which I'm totally OK with and fully support) from my previous Smith Lake meetup video which has now been pulled from YT. Being Partnered on YT the Content Strikes can kill my account and privileges! Ironically the strike thinks it's from a Jimmy Fallon show !! WTF! Not sure if the two strange occurrences are related but I blocked them all from my Twitter account. Guess I'll just have to make some remixes from now on so I don't have rogue environmentalists trying to kill my account.
Got a Yi 4K last week and put together my first video from last Sunday. I filmed it 1080p/60 then used Handbrake to encode it with H.264 to get the size down. It came out a little longer than I wanted but I look forward to making more this summer.
Learning some new software and put this together. Not all boating but quite a bit. Just a celebration of kids. @JetBoatPilot will probably recognize a couple locations.

Nice first shot with Power Director. I just switched to it from Movie maker as well. I was doing all of mine in MM, or iMovie. I realize I need more powerful hardware when working with these bigger files for sure. I cranked this one out in Power Director from last weekend. It works well and the quality is maintained.
