Question Noob Question: GoPro Footage

Hi Rennlisters,

I recently got back into HPDE after a year and a half long hiatus (too long!) I recently acquired a GoPro Hero 11 and managed to capture some footage of my recent HPDE day with a local group.

Does anyone have any tips, hints, or tricks on how to edit the video footage, and to add any kind of data from the GoPro itself? Admittedly, I did not download the GoPro app on my phone, so I expect limited data can be embedded into the video itself. Also, where is the ideal place to upload the footage to for sharing? I'm hoping the videos will help me and my HPDE instructors review what I'm doing, and to learn and improve from the experiences. If it helps, I'm running Windows 11. Thanks in advance!

I just upload videos to YouTube. Seems simple enough. Not sure on the rest as I don’t use GoPro.

Have a look at this software - if you have the camera’s gps turned on when taking footage apparently the software can use the gps and accelerometer data to populate overlays. I plan to try it out myself when it gets cool enough to hit the track here in Phoenix:

I recommend turning down the resolution to the lowest setting. More than adequate for review and then you can use VLC Player to trim and cut.

I recommend highly the Race Technology software for real analysis and overlay.

Thanks, folks.

Re: Race Technology Software - I see they list up to the GoPro 10. I have a GoPro 11. Anyone have experience with compatibility?

@ProCoach Thanks for the tip on the resolution. I not only ran out of batteries, but also storage on the SD card!

GPS enabled GoPro works fine. 11 should work.
