![]() ![]() As I wrote last August, the Virb immediately joined Garmin’s ecology of handheld GPS devices and activity sensors, not to mention its vast software resources. There’s an almost otherworldly serenity to the videos that is nearly the opposite of the frenetic action scenes you’ll see in all the marketing, but doesn’t it emphasize the joy that is smooth water boating?īut stabilization is just one small aspect of what Garmin brought to the action camera game. Garmin added a digital stabilization option to the mix you can see a comparison in this well done video, but actually, I think some of my Gizmo flat water cruising clips demonstrate the effect even better. The genius of the GoPro camera design that started the “action camera” craze is largely a very wide angle lens, which makes it easy to point it more or less in the right direction and also naturally stablizes the video. Yes, the Virb camera is securely suction mounted to Gizmo’s fly bridge windshield and the conditions are flat calm, but there’s something else going on here. Export to Youtube.When you check out the video above - and I hope you’ll try the full screen HD (1080p) version, if you have the bandwidth and display - notice how rock steady the image is. Keep watching the good bits until it gets boring again (few seconds) then click on "SPLIT". As I watch, I wait until an interesting moment comes and I click on "Trim left" and all the timeline to the left of the point your watching is discarded. I watch all my GoPro videos on the app already to save time. When you add the next video, you'd have to RE-add the big GPX file with your ride, and the correct section of the map will be used. If you don't use a garmin GPX file (I have used iPhone apps in the past), then you have to manually sync both, video and map.Īfter you ad the first video, the big GPX file will be associated with it. When you import them into Virb, only the section on the map corresponding to the video are selected. This will ensure perfect sync between the GPX file (time from GPS sats) with your mp4 video (time from your phone service). When I add the mp4 file, I made sure to sync my GoPro to my cell phone app and then click on "sync date and time" with your service provider. On the left, the video, on the ride, the map.īottom all the editing commands: add video, edit (trim/split), you can FF, you can do slow motion, speed up videos, choose transitions, add gauges, edit them, create your own, etc. So a day long 300mile ride needs to be trimmed, even if you "only" recorded 45min of it all. Nobody wants to click on anything longer than 10min, and probably won't watch past the first 3min. Also very easy to trim your video, which for me is the biggest headache of posting. Since it's optimized for mp4 files ONLY, it's very fast. Why good? Not because of effects, none of that. Here you can download the Virb, which is a VERY FREAKING GOOD FREE VIDEO EDITOR. It's used for the Garmin cameras, but it will work with any MP4 file, such as those from a GoPro. Or you use Basecamp, which for me it's easier to identify what log is it, clicking on it and selecting export. ![]() This PC\BMW Motorrad Navigator V\Internal Storage\GPX You can access it directly after connecting it via USB to your computer it's in: ![]() Okay, I thought I had posted the how to, but here's another take.ĭata comes from our very own NAV V. ![]()
