Thats result. The footage was filmed with 2 GoPros on a chestmount filming at 1080p 60fps.

I copied all the video files in a folder. Thats the project folder. Went through all the footage, noted down the timestamps of the scenes I wanted in the video. I deleted all the videos I didn’t need and made a backup of the ones I needed.

In blender, I cut the videos accordingly and rendered them at 100% resolution, MPEG-4, perceptually lossless, 60fps.

To speed up the render, I used the video editors render script It splits blender render jobs to each CPU core you have.

Another cool blender addon I used is power sequences, mostly for fade effects, but it can do much more.

Color correction modifier for strips. Fiddle with the options a bit, use the eye icon to inspect differences. Make sure you check different frames of the video. Histogram helps, try to get a nice bell curve.

Add text and animate it with keyframes.

Added intro/outro images, searched for royalty free music and uploaded the whole thing to youtube.

TODO for the future:

• credit music author in the video as well
• credits logo smaller so it can be covered by youtube subcribe button
• intro scene to get people hooked on watching, for example a few seconds of high quality footage (sort of like clickbait)
• swoosh sound effect during transitions
• b-roll 4 seconds stable smooth motion in one direction
• text location not overlap youtube progress bar
