Is there a ColorDirector4 preset to use for my GoPro4 Black instead of using ProTunes?
UPDATE: Get my GoPro preset here: GoPro Preset
or get a less saturated version here: ProTunes 1.3

When I purchased Director suite 4 it came with a trial of NewBlueFX title and it certainly worked with PD14, but I didn't purchase it.
I totally agree that you don't want to use much stabilizer. It'll just look weird.

1.5 days until departure.
I've got all of the hardware/accessories, 96gb of memory cards, and 3 batteries + a 2-battery charger. I don't plan on recording nearly as much as you did skibum, so I believe I have enough power and memory. If not, I'll buy more.
Most importantly, after some trial and error with the GoPro and PD14 I've decided to film in 1080p 30fps for the trip. I don't foresee the need for slow-mo, so 60fps will be overkill and space consuming for the circumstances. Plus, the time lapse default is 30fps so rendering will be consistent.
Thanks for all of the contributions. I can't wait.
I recommend that you go to 2.7K with a medium field of view. This will give you the ortion to digitally zoom without losing resolution.

Have a great trip.

Thanks skibum.
I took your experience, compared it to gopro's 'recording time' and 'battery life' charts, and came up with some numbers:
On the days you were using 6 batteries/day, you were recording for roughly 4.5 hours and filling about 96gb of memory card space. Does that sound about right?
That sounds about right. I wasn't constantly recording, but sometimes let it run for a long time. One very long run, (and the battery may have been slightly used before I started the run) I had to change the battery half way down. I also had to deal with the case (lens) fogging up, due to cold weather. Yes, I was using the little moisture absorbing inserts that you can get. Take that into consideration if you'll be in cold weather.

I went on a ski trip to France last year with my GoPro Hero4.
1) You'll need more batteries. With constant filming, they only last about 45minutes at best. I recommend getting either Smatree or Wasabi brand. They're much cheaper. I took EIGHT ( with me for a full day on the slopes. A couple of days I did go through 6 of them.
2) Get the GoPro recommended SD cards at least. I got two 64GB Sandisk Extreme Pro. That's a little overkill for speed, but I had NO problems with them at all. You'll need at least two per day.
3) You'll need a laptop to save each days disc so you can start out fresh the next day. I didn't want to lug a laptop overseas so I got a 1TB Western Digital My Passport Wireless. It has a SD card reader built in and you can access it with your smartphone to check on your files, etc. I also renamed each file as Day1, Day2, etc. It worked perfectly.
4) I used, for first person prospective, 1080 Superview @ 60fps. It picks up allot more scenary and you and use slow motion with it. When I wasn't skiing and filming with the camera in my hand, I used 2.7k medium so you can use digital zoom and not loose your 1080 resolution. I found medium gave the most "normal" view.
5) I used ProTunes all the time. Set your sharpness to low. Set your ISO as low as you can. During the day 400. At night you'll have to go up higher but the video will become grainy. ColorDirector does a really good job of correcting dark lit scenes.
6) You want some sort of "selfie" stick. (I used a clamp on my ski pole) You want to show yourself there. I wish I took more of me skiing in the Alps. It was my best footage.
7) I'm sure I've missed a bunch of stuff. If I remember I'll repost here again. Have fun.

FYI
The problem is when I tried to pull a project made in PowerDirector 13 into PD14. I would receive that error message several times but it would produce and burn OK. When I make the project completely in PD14 everything works fine.

I have four HD movies that I put onto the "Best Vacation" menu to burn to a BlueRay.
I used differant chapters for each movie and everything previewed fine.
When I started the burn process, I kept getting an error message stating....
"MotionMenuGeneratiorApplication has stopped working"
I would simply click "close program", but then a few minutes later, it popped back up again.
Later I returned and closed about 10 of these notices and went to bed.
In the morning, no more notices returned and the burn went fine.
This was a new install of PowerDirector14 and was wondering does anyone else have this probem or should I reinstall.
Everything else works perfectly.

Doesn't make sense that you can't move the files.

Copy the files from the disc to your HDD. Right click on the file and click extract all. See if that works.

Hi folks, I have a GTX-580 and would like your opinion on whether an upgrade to a GTX-960 4GB would be worthwhile for a better 4K editing experience.
My current setup is Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3, i7-2700k at stock, 32GB RAM, Windows 8.1, SSD's & 7200 HDD's
There's no doubt that PD is more dependent of the CPU than the GPU. M326 was asking if a GPU upgrade would make a better 4K editing experience. It seems his system should have no problem with editing 4K videos.
My point was that he very well may run out of VRAM if he uses the GTX580, so the upgrade would improve his 4K viewing experience.

Most 580's only have 2GB of VRAM compared to 4GB used by most 960's. Depending on what size screen or if you have more than one screen, 2GB of VRAM may not be enough for 4K editing and certainly not enough if you have more than one screen. Also the GTX580 are Fermi architecture while the 960's are Kepler.
The Nvidia 900 series are all Maxwell microarchitecture, nothing Kepler about them.

I meant Maxwell. Don't know why I said Kepler. I have a 980ti.
My bad.

Is there a reason you formatted your HDD as FAT32? Not sure if that makes a difference with PD13 but the norm would be NTFS.

Once you post the video, I'm pretty sure you can click edit and change the setting.
|

Just save the video then post it onto Facebook yourself. That way you can adjust Facebook settings any way you like. Better still, post it into YouTube, then just past the link into Facebook.

Your system needs to be updated.

Tom's Hardware is an excellent site and they gave you very good advise. Time to upgrade. If you don't know how to build our own you could order one from CyberPower. http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/

Good luck getting any future help from Dafydd.

Sorry, My bad.
I meant PowerProducer will burn ISO files.
I knew that ISO are a complete disc image. That's what I meant.

optodata -- thanks for your help.
Not sure what Blue Titler Pro is at the moment!, and how it'll be relavant.
I think my laptop is a bit underpowered for the task, but I've downloaded the trial of )D13 Ultimate and had a play last night. It glitched a little but I think is cooping well enough just now for me to learn the software whilst I look into a more powerful laptop.
It's a ASUS X401a , Win 8.1. Intel (R) Pentium (R) CPU 2020M @ 2.40GHz , 4.0gb ram. / 64bit. The drop down in device manage just says INTEL (R) HD graphics.
I assume it's non expandable in terms of graphics cards.
Still, I've been mucking around with trying to use various free editors for a while and it's been utterly dispiriting. An hour last night with PD13 and already I'm thinking.
." Ah...this is more like what I expected!"
You will certainly need a more powerful computer to do any HD video editing. I'm not a big fan of laptops at all. Even the most powerful ones don't hold a candle to a good desktop.
Your first problem is you don't have enough system memory. (DRAM) You only have 4GB and will need at least 8GB.
Your CPU is a 2.4GB which is really too slow. I'd recommend an Intel CPU with 4 cores.
You have intergraded graphics. This is built into the CPU which will slow down the processing power of the CPU even more. Get a dedicated graphic card to take the load off of the CPU.
With my system (see my signature) I can edit and process 4K videos without even a slight stutter and there are more powerful systems out there.
