- This is the third video from my awesome first track day at Donington last year... I think I've milked it enough now! Actually this one is really another Picture-in-Picture video experiment so I can improve my knowledge of Davinci Resolve, the video editor I use.
Not only did I use Resolve, I had to use Insta360 One X Studio, GoPro Quik, Dashware and some tiny app made by a GoPro user to get around a limitation/bug in that Dashware program. Hardware used on the bike; Insta360 One X, GoPro Hero 6, Sony FDR X1000V, Zoom H1n.
Getting the telemetry was fun... the problem with Dashware is that it cannot import and merge together multiple GoPro video clips from a Hero 6 and also import all of the GPS data at the same time. Actually, stepping back a bit, first I had to install GoPro Quik in order to use one of its files in Dashware to even have any hope of getting GPS data at all! What I then had to do was dig around on the internet for a solution to GPS problem. I downloaded a little homemade app which takes the individual GPS files that were created and combines them so Dashware can sync the result to the video. Phew!
The telemetry gauges were a laugh-a-minute too... I wanted the gauges separate to the riding footage with a transparent background so I could import them separately into Resolve and mess about with them if I had to. Dashware exports the gauge screen as a series of transparent PNG files; one for every frame of video. I had to import over 115,000 of these PNG's into Resolve!! Luckily Resolve can treat groups of these files a bit like video clips so they weren't too bad to manage.
There are easier ways to do this! However they cost more money and - as is often the case with me - if I can find a way to do it with what I've already got lying around, it makes me happy. Even if it takes longer and sometimes frustrates the hell out of me 😊
By the way even though I have a lap timer in the video, I wasn't going after laptimes on the day. The lap timer is just a nice side product of the GPS data. Mind you, I am happy that I got under two minutes on my first visit to Donny 😊 I'm sure the bike could go ten seconds faster around here... I just hope that I've got the minerals! You can tell with my short-shifting mid corner I don't trust traction control enough... I'm sure I can push the bike a lot harder than I did on this visit.
You can see how much of a little liar the speedo on my bike is too! - Авто та транспорт
Great sounds. Enjoyed it.
Excellent, Rikky. Looked like great fun 👍
Cheers, that day was a highlight of my biking life! 😊
We will all be watching cheers.
Wow what an experience.
very nice, good view of all the information, gear shifting , breaking, .....
Thank you, I hope to get to Donington for another play this year!
Nice
Hi Ricky, great vid. Would you mind if I ask what the camera set up it with the GPS tracking around the circuit etc….
Thanks
Dan
Thanks Dan! If you look at the video description you can see what I was faced with in order to get the GPS data out of my GoPro Hero 6 and into my video editor. It was hard work at the time! Nowadays I use an easier method. Basically I use an app - paid about £70 I think - called Telemetry Overlay (they have YT page and website). This can pull the GPS data out of a GoPro video (or a series of videos because GoPro spilts its videos up every 5-10 mins depending on quality settings). Then I take manipulate the data in Telemetry Overlay to make nice looking gauges. I export only the gauge information from there as a transparent video. I combine the result with my other camera/audio clips inside Davinci Resolve Studio and create the final video there.
Cool camera setup, have you tried TrackAddict? Which mode did you have the bike on? run a 2017 and I bottom out the front forks, not sure if you had same experience.
Hi Matheus, it looks like Track Addict is mobile only and I do my editing on PC after the event. I was using Dynamic (not Dyna Pro) and Dynamic suspension on my 2019 model. I don't think I've bottomed out the forks yet 😊
@@RikkyTang TrackAddict is for Telemetry, you can export the data and use on Dashware for post processing, it does live track data, you can also compare sectors and such.. ok dyna-pro has no rear ABS/lift and other safety nanny's disabled. Do you run on Michelin's get your suspension and tire pressures tuned and you'll feel the difference
@@matheusrgomes Ahh I see thanks for the details about TrackAddict I'll look into it some more. I did the track day on Bridgestone S22's and at my skill level I was happy enough! I hope to do some more this year because I know there is plenty more capability in the bike 👍
💨💨💨 💨 👍🏻
I bet your 1250R is not far off these speeds as bhp is more on the S. The R torque and power band is much better due to shift cam. Great video looks like fun
Thanks Chris, well since that was my first ever trackday and I wasn't going for quick laps, I reckon I can go faster than that on the 1250! I'm really slow into corners though... need to save up for some track tuition 😊
Good job dude, sub 2 mins around Donnington isn’t hanging about 👍
Thanks mate I'm going back there at least three more times this year (one time will be on my BMW R1250R that I've also done a 1:59 on) so hopefully the times will keep coming down 😊
@@RikkyTang good luck mate, there’s no greater feeling than going down craners and up through shwantz, hopefully I’ll get my s1000r there this year 👍
Rikky you wont be doing that on the R1250R
Oh yes I will! And I think I can beat my laptime too 😊
