Beware of Kinomap Incentives

  I queried Kinomap's support for the voucher promised in their incentif program. I had uploaded a few cycling videos which were initially not available for subscribers because of their too poor quality. However I can still use them for my training, not sure if they can be connected to a smart trainer. As I improved my videos, but still not satisfactory because of the gaps due to my gimbal becoming disoriented once in a while, Kinomap published it for its App and a few users had tried them. The Likas Track was initially relabelled as for runniing because of the slow speed of the gps path when video recording. I changed it back to cycling. When no news of the incentive vouchers, I sent and email to support. Below is their reply. { Philippe Desprez (Kinomap Support) Nov 20, 2021, 10:16 GMT+1 Hello, Thank you for contacting

GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS | What it is and when to use it

I used Sony Xperia XZ2 to track my route using its built-in GPS instead of XZ2P which I also have, because XZ2 is smaller.  However it lacks QZSS satellite from Japan. So it is important to know the GPS satellites that our device has.  https://www.correrunamaraton.com/en/gps-glonass-galileo-beidou-what-howto-use/

Smaller Wheels for Smaller Bicycles Are Bigger Wheels Faster? Big Fast Wheels Over the last 30 years, I've seen a lot of 'stuff' about wheel sizes on bicycles and why or why not to use a size on a certain type of bicycle. I know that the magazines are all pumping one size or another as faster or better for some reason or another. It gets frustrating sometimes because there are really good uses for just about all bicycle wheel sizes, but not always for the reasons that the magazines seem to promote. So, this year it's time for a quick article on the current st

Thorn Punctures Through Tyre Protector

Image
I had installed an extra layer of tyre protector but a thorn beats it as shown by Youtubers. Luckily I used a tyre sealant AEROPAK from DIY. it slowed down the air loss but when I pulled out the thorn, the tyre became flat immediately. This could be the second time a thorn punctures my tyre. The first one I only detected when I took out the tube for inspection. The tube had been left for a few days for AEROPAK to dry but it never dried completely. My attempts to seal the puncture with the chinese seal with adhesive failed.

If you use Kinomap, you can view the GPS readings. Youtube should have chapters to describe the location but not for this video. I shall update later on. DaVinci Resolve 17 allows us to add markers which will be uploaded as chapters in Youtube.

Use the pre-rendering to speed up viewing and outputting. Use optimized media and render cache.

What’s the Best Video Stabilization Software? Premiere, After Effects, Resolve Reviewed

https://www.rocketstock.com/blog/best-video-stabilization-software/ How to Stabilize a Video In After Effects and Premiere Pro, there are four settings: Position : Analyzes the position data of the clip and adjusts the position to emulate a smooth image. Position, Scale, and Rotation : Stabilization based on the position, the scale, and rotation data. Perspective : Corner-pins the entire frame and tilts the image forward or backward to eliminate shake. Subspace Warp (default) : Warps the frame to align with other areas of the frame. The warp stabilization consistently moves pixel data to account for camera shake. However, when this overcompensates or when the shake is too violent, you’ll see the footage react with what has been dubbed a “breathing effect.”
