go pro hero 2, best settings for sledding, best way to make clips?

[montanasledder]

Used my new go pro 2 new years weekend, very cool. Anyways i was wondering what setting everyone is using. It was on the default 960-30 video seems good but files are large. wondering if i could change it up and still get decent video without such large files.
Also trying to clip and make into video/movie clips is much tougher than i expected.
any suggestions?

i leave mine on 60fps always,

i like 720 60fps also. might try 960 next time, but the 960 clips are going to be smaller sized than the 720 60fps. I use adobe elements 10 to make my movies, probs the best $100 ive spent. At least I think it was that much. Running it on a 2006 hp dv series lap top is right on the edge of operating correctly. Need a little newer or better system preferably.

Thanks Guys. That was my first problem my computer so ordered a new HP and it should be here in a week or so. That will make things much easier and also got the Adobe elements premier program with it. Looking forward to making some neat clips and ill be sure to share when i do.

32GB card and film on the highest setting possible 1080P 30fps. I figure why buy the best camera if you aren't gonna use the best resolution.

heres a recent clip I filmed on mine with those settings.http://komunity.com/videos.asp?videoID=2295

Now i know why you pay more for your sleds in Canada! You have way better snow. Damn the luck!

960 48fps, spot setting off, just make sure whatever you edit it with put it out in whatever frame you filmed it in

720 60fps always.

Hey guys,
I just came from Montana I took 106 vids and pics all of them suck, so clearly need to learn the best way to use this thing. mostly I just didn't have the camera positioned right, but I am always trying to guess if it's on or off or filming or taking pics, because I can't hear the beeps. but live and learn.

I like using the higher resolution over the higher FPS. I don't think you really need 60 FPS for sledding. Moving fast but not that fast.

I also use 16 gig cards. The battery will not last as long as a 32 gig card. 16 gig is pushing the battery so I figure if I am changing the battery might as well put a new card in at the same time.
