Editing Critique?

This was the first edit I've made since I broke both of my feet. It's not ski oriented but I'd like some suggestions.

Note: I have to edit all of my videos in one sitting. Wish I could have a week or two so I could include special effects [twixtor slow motion, titles, etc] but I hate rushing that stuff.

So in one sitting I have to:
Organize every shot
Encode every shot
Conform Frame Rates
Edit
Color Correct
Render
Publish

And that's just the bare minimum....

Anyways. Let me know what you think I could do better. Thnx :)

not bad..some of the follow cam shots were a little shaky in real time but better once slowed down, maybe just work on keeping those a little steadier, even tho its tough with a gopro unless your using a pole..but that might be tough on a scooter

I'm sure Twixtors been fondled and abused by many members of the community. I've surely seen it abused myself. But surely it could be used tastefully on the rare occasion? Maybe not lol

Good advice. Next time we'll throw in a skateboard /longboard for steadier follow cams.

that would work well and yeah i also have seen some bad use of twixtor but if you use it sparingly, IMO it can be used effectively every once in a while

out of curiosity why do you have to edit in one sitting?

For a number of reasons. The main one being that I don't own a mac. I really hate it when I make an edit using windows [just look at prior edits on that channel]. They don't turn out NEARLY as well as when using a mac.

I work in the "IT security" field and although I know Macs are, for the most part, great machines... Owning one just seems blasphemous. Even though deep down I know the Mac's are Unix kernal at heart <3
