Heathen..

Besides and actual editor,

You familiar with all the wonderful things you can do with the replay camera in mx bikes?

Take advantage of it, it can really make things amazeballs

Make sure to go into the settings tab and set-up your gamepad to control the camera as smooth as possible.

Go into your replay and switch to "free-camera"..

The fly around with the camera, follow your bike, zoom in/out, and slo mo/speed up as you need on the fly. It REALLY makes a massive diff in mx bikes vids..

Just a few examples in one of my vids.  Everything is done in replay mode and only used a video editor to patch it all together.

A couple of videos i have edited. Just like Badstar said, make sure to bind the camera to your gamepad and look at it as flying a drone pretty much. I like to combine angles by both using the free roam and the fixed cameras (Most often on the rider). I make everything in Sony Vegas and use the default filters/plugins that they have. If you have any more questions just holla at me :)

Hey mid..

Mind sharing a little insight into your way of making a vid work so well with the music..

no need to share secrets and lucky for all of us music tends to do magical thinks all on its on with film edits.

Do you cut/paste specifically "after" you pick the song and go with it or do you add the song later and do something from there?

(mainly talking about "do it all" edit)

Haha I have no secrets mate!
This might sound weird, but i find a song that i like, listen to it while i record the clips, to get an idea of how the end result could look like.
The "stuttering" or whatever you want to call it is done in Sony vegas, I just line up the clip to the music, cut it and repeat until you can make it look ok. I'm horrible at explaining so if it made no sense, just ask again haha ;D
