I'm pretty new to this stuff but I don't see a point of keeping my daily travels and footage but do you guys?


I only keep my youtube vids and the adobe project files
 
I have the the majority of my daily rides for the last 18 months, so far its around 600GB,

ride for a average of total 90mins+ a day. 5 working days a week + a few hours atleast on the weekend....

So it adds up

What do you do with it though? Just save it to watch?
 
I used to keep it. Then I made the mistake of deleting 200gb of footage by accident. Oops.

I keep meaning to buy an external hard disk to put bike footage on.
 
If nothing interesting happens I delete it. I run my camera most of the time I ride simply in case something interesting happens. I also save clips of idiot drivers in hopes of making a compilation soon.

I never delete RAW footage of any value, like vlogs, or interesting clips. It all goes on to my NAS which also gets backed up to the cloud.

I've just brought a Samsung 1tb for saving but now I'm like, why keep everything

Easy to fill up a drive with daily rides and 1080
 
I record every second of every ride, and I typically delete the footage right after the ride. If something notable happened, like something worthy of being in a video, or something that I may want for legal reasons, then I'll keep it. Every few months I'll delete my originals that I cut videos from. I can't see the point behind keeping footage of me riding to work for more than a few weeks, especially if it was an uneventful ride.
 
I delete my raw footage when I go out for the sake of motovlogging, and just keep the rendered video. If it's footage from a road trip or maybe group ride or something more interesting, I will keep the raw footage just in case I like to go back and relive the experience.

I find no reason to keep random footage of me just riding around town...it's just a waste of storage space.
 
I record every journey on my bike wherever I go whatever the weather. I keep interesting clips/vlogs until I've rendered and uploaded them. I used to keep the raw files with the rendered version but quickly ran out of space and I don't have an external drive atm.
 
I have just about every video clip I have ever taken. I delete the obviously useless ones...ones that accidentally record for a few seconds when I am trying to turn the camera off or something like that. All my footage stays on my computer in one folder/subfolders until rendered and then go to an archiving folder. If my videos start to take up too much space on the HDD I will move them to an external or NAS. An old computer with extra HDD space and externals make for a great NAS project.
 
I keep it all too, but when I do a camera run I make a word file after with time stamps and descriptions of what went on in that time stamp on the video. So it becomes a sorta archive of footage to use.

But yea.... takes up lots of space but hard drives are cheap ;)
