Bike Weekend iMovie

Unfortunately last days I’m spending a lot of time at home because I’m sick. However I’ve managed to turn that so called “bad” time in something fun and nice by compiling a movie from my Bike trip on June 26th.

The trip to Tryavna was not only about biking, actually we’ve gather together to celebrate our dear friend Yana, Birthday and her name-day. The place is offering a very good trails for biking(either DH or AL), so Yana recommended to me over the phone that I’ve should bring my bike.  So this is what happened indeed, we’ve gather to celebrate on Friday night with beer and BBQ and on saturday morning after everyone awaken we gather together and choose the route. It was more than nice XC trail with a lot of great view and some technical parts. It was around 30km long. Here you can see only the last 3.25 km of downhill cuz I’ve forgot to start my App earlier.

After this trail I was still having an anger for a little bit more pedaling, so I’ve remembered that there was a geocache(this is something which I also love to do, but some other time for it) nearby Tryavna, which actually I could not find last time when I was in Tryavna, It was about 2 years ago. The target was clear so I’ve gone for second bike run + geocaching hunt. Fortunately this time I’ve found the cache and it turns out that from it’s final  coordinates there was a great marked trail downhill to the city. Instead of logging the speed and route, I’ve record raw movies with the help of my latest gadgets: Jobypod for iPhone. With this gadget I’ve manage to mount my iPhone to my bike bar. Sometime soon I hope I can tell you a little bit more about Jobypod in Products section.

So here is the final thing that I was performing today : The post-editing which I’ve done with very handy iMovie, it’s quiet easy and self explaning, you can also watch a lot of great video tutorials from apple website. It offers you a great video stabilization for movies with actions + you can perform very smooth transition and audio+video matching. It’s the perfect home editing tool. It took me more time to find the music which is suitable match  for my videos, than organizing and setting all the text, transitions, fades and animations. Note: For sure some of the features like video stabilization are going to take you a lot of time, if you don’t have a fast CPU.

So here is the final result of my afternoon work:

I hope you gonna like it, all feedback is welcomed all the time.
