Aye, 2.7k/30 was not available on the Hero 9, a weird choice by GoPro... which seems to be how they do things!

It really is weird.

I've never seen or heard anyone explain why they make those choices. And when the Max Lens Mod is added, it opens up and closes other combos. SMH.

Wow that's a huge changed in light! I didn't realize that high frame rate blocked out light or whatever. Definetly going to try that out after work this night. On a side note, that dude can sign!! I'm learning and he is super fast, pretty awesome. I'll have to check out more of his stuff. Thanks a lot for the video!

MicBergsma has profound hearing loss since he was a child. It is nice that he had his own subtitles back when the video first was published because YouTube had a period where it was doing CC for videos. I am glad they got straightened out. Going over his old and new stuff is really informative as he is or was a professional photographer and videographer. He definitely seems to have adapted and overcome the hearing impairment.

Awesome that you are learning sign! I wish I had or at least the had the time now. Over the summer @scooterwuf and I happened to come across a deaf rider on Mt. Washington who was suffering from some anxiety. I understood his signing mostly but did not know how the sign back. I ended up using a word processing app to write put my questions and answers to him. Signing would have helped out more so he did not feel so alone on what was experiencing.

Luckily his riding group came around and they were able to help him cope.

We found out that @LoneWolfer had seen the rest of the deaf/hard of hearing riding group up top.

One more small thing, sorry I know I've been asking a lot of stuff, just trying to learn everything I can. I'm trying to look at the preview on the Quik app with my Gopro, and it connects just fine, I can make it record or stop it on the app, but when I click the enable preview, it flashes real quick then just shows a black screen. But the commands to make it do stuff still work. Not sure what that's all about but going to do some googling on it.

I use the app and have not noticed that particular problem. It could be the app needs updating or your smart device OS is in need of something.

I run a Hero 8 Black, Max, Hero 4 Silver, Hero 4 session, and Hero 5 session. I will test them later today just to see if any do that.

You're welcome!

1. I recorded my video on Resolve stabilization last night - hopefully I can get it edited this week and put up - there's some things in there that will help you [but are hard to explain in words].

2. If you record at 2.7k, you can render at 2.7k, and you don't need to upscale or anything [and you'll still get the better codec on YT, without sacrificing any quality].

3. Yes, I bought Resolve Studio years ago when they had a bundle with the Speed Editor [also a useful bit of kit]. But, at that point I already had hundreds of hours of editing under my belt and knew I was going to do this longer-term, so the benefits of Studio were well worth the investment for me.

4. GoPro does weird things with the resolution/framerate combos - so, 2.7k/30 may not be available with the regular lens. I KNOW it's available with the Max Lens Mod, for some reason, and that's what I use.

5. I don't use the Quik app, so I can't help you there, sorry.

Thanks for the advice. I checked out your channel and it helped out a lot. I bought the max lens mod and should be getting it soon haha. Getting better for at using Resolve to. Working with the stabilization in Resolve is interesting. Trying to find the best mode transaction, perspective, or similarity. Looking and messing with it. But you've been a great help, I appreciate it.

You're welcome! I got sidelined by another editing project tonight [ooh, look! shiny!] so I'll have to edit the stabilization video tomorrow night. Such is life.

I posted the video in a new thread under Editing Talk: https://motovlog.com/threads/stabilization-in-davinci-resolve-18-a-tutorial-explanation.21412/

Finally got it published!
