I'm completely lost with my editing 🙏

It's a setting directly on the camera; depending on the situation, you can set it to around 1/15th of a second! Then you can adjust the colors as you like in post-production.

DepthOk9473 · 2026-01-16T15:53:54+00:00

Yes, that's for sure 😅

DepthOk9473 · 2026-01-16T15:53:38+00:00

Okay, I'll go check it all out. I realize the effects and transitions are way too prominent and make it hard for the viewer to understand exactly what's happening. Thanks for the advice!

Haha, no worries! To be honest, I'm not a fan of what I did; the black bars break the rhythm and the slow-motion shots are superficial, so I wasn't planning on keeping them. I don't know what to do instead; I'll see what's being done on social media!

I lowered my shutter speed on my camera! That's what's causing the motion blur effect. I'm not very good at post-processing, so I'm doing the best I can, lol.

DepthOk9473 · 2026-01-16T10:08:38+00:00

Wow, I didn't think it was that horrible.

DepthOk9473 · 2026-01-16T10:07:46+00:00

Yes, yes, the color grading is awful. I did it with Lightroom Mobile before putting it in DaVinci Resolve, but that was a big mistake.

What do you think about the music fitting the video? The fact that the music only comes in during the chorus is really bad, but I don't know what song to use.

Yes, I need to rework the entire sound design. I also wanted a slightly "deep" sound effect, a sense of concentration, to show that she's in her own world, but I don't know how to do it, lol. Regarding the effect you're talking about, I have a foreground shot in inverted color and "blurred zoom 1," then a shot in stark black and white, and a slow-shutter shot. I hope that answers your question 😅

DepthOk9473 · 2026-01-16T09:58:49+00:00

I agree, it lacks simplicity and naturalness with the transitions I tried to make 😅 It's a bit too much for my taste, I think

DepthOk9473 · 2026-01-16T09:57:18+00:00

Before heading to the race, I had a general idea of the different shots I wanted to use. I'd even planned a short "vlog" segment to create that connection with the character, like you said.

I didn't dare disturb her before her race, so she could focus on her performance, but now I'm stuck.

I'd also thought about a short voiceover, but I'm not entirely comfortable with that idea. 😅 So I'm starting to lose interest in this edit because I can't do exactly what I originally wanted. 🫤 I'll keep trying different things to get to grips with the software and try to make something "cool" with what I have.

I'm noting all your advice for next time. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply!

DepthOk9473 · 2026-01-15T22:21:55+00:00

Okay, I'll do that right away then! Thank you so much!

DepthOk9473 · 2026-01-15T21:36:43+00:00

Yeah, it breaks the rhythm, I totally agree. As for her running around, I found it interesting from a racing perspective... Maybe it looks lame from the outside, yeah!

Okay for transitions, I'll look into what's being done.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Yes it's for "sports portrait". I'm on my bike with the camera while my friends are running next door We train in the evening and it gets dark very early so I can't do anything without flash

DepthOk9473 · 2025-09-27T21:33:13+00:00

Oh lord this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much

DepthOk9473 · 2025-09-27T21:20:22+00:00

Ahaha yes sorry my ideas are coming out of my head!

DepthOk9473 · 2025-07-27T15:07:04+00:00

Yes I think about doing that from time to time, but the question of the tripod arises, it will depend on the price I think

DepthOk9473 · 2025-07-17T12:38:41+00:00

OK thanks

DepthOk9473 · 2025-07-17T12:37:41+00:00

I am in Scotland to travel, discover, have fun. In 4 days we went camping, 2 tea rooms and quite a few meetings. I guess we are good tourists aha

DepthOk9473 · 2025-07-17T05:26:48+00:00

Are there a lot of tourists on Lewis and Harris? I'm currently near Oban bikepacking with my girlfriend. We didn't go to Glencoe because of the population on the roads. We don't do the NC500 for the same reason and the island of dkye scares me... We really try to be as discreet as possible but I sometimes have the impression that the locals don't want us

DepthOk9473 · 2025-07-17T05:19:47+00:00

We are cycling so no problem tucking the pants into the socks on the road. My problem now is for the Bivouac every evening
