I didn't really like the choice of the music. It could've been good but you'd have to work on the syncing of the music and the clips.

re-angle the GoPro so it doesn't look directly at your skis, get part of your skis and forward to see what is coming, i don't want to watch your skis going in the snow

It wasn't bad. But you need to work on your workflow. The gopro is capable of providing MUCH better looking footage. I suggest following this workflow provided by good ol' abe.

I wasent able to upload it in hd, that was the problem.

The file i have on my computer has crisp quality. I will upload it to vimeo next week when the upload thing is back up.

And more comments?

And thats for the tips guys.

I liked the whole thing.

The angle of your GoPro, for me is brilliant as you can see what skis you are actually using and still have enough angle to see what's coming up.

Personally I wouldn't have chosen that music but it fits well with the edit.

Can't wait to see more!

What I'm saying is that if you had done it correctly the video WOULD be in HD and you WOULDN'T have those black bars on the side. You are doing it wrong because the aspect ratio is wrong, the bit rate is wrong, and the codec is probably wrong, too.

Just follow the directions in that video for the best quality.

Oh thanks. I will do that next time.

And is not in hd because i didn't export it in HD. I didnt have enough room on vimeo after screwing up on the first edit.

But the black bars on the side are from me filming in 960p, which is what i think is the best for POV.

for the pow shots, I'd say angle the camera slightly higher, so that you can see what's coming up and not just the skis. for park, I actually really liked the way the camera was angled because it allowed me to see what was happening on the rails and the way your skis moved etc.

Did you use the head cam? Looks like you may have. If you did, just use the chest mount. I promise you it's better. You could even use the 1280 X 720 too. Here is a video we did with chest mounts on trampolines. Though it would be a horrible angle but it looks terrific in 720. [Starts around 0:35]
