All,

Resolved my memory management issues (at least for GoPro video files and Macbook Air).

Anyway, here is a result:

Future videos will feature helmet cams and more interesting rides.

Impressive LD! you nailed it, including font, nice.. I bet there is a setting to put a shadow under the text so it's easier to read on the bright backgrounds.
you got passed by a soccer mom in a mini van? good to see you get around her later..
very nice first video!

Foto,

Thanks for your encouragement!  Yes, contrast is important, little things count.  Your advice to build a series of short vignettes is key.  I am starting to have some fun with this technology. There are some amazing videos out there, and some junk.

 More to come.

Dusty,

Small steps, yet you mention a key retirement goal.

Next is to take raw video from the rest of the Sunday ride, and do some severe edits.  Figured out freeway droning at 80 mph is not too interesting, but some stop and go in congested traffic can be quite entertaining. 

Working on BMW rental for Durango in mid-August.   Want to ride Durango to Silverton with stops on Molas pass, and maybe our cabin.  GoPro of that would be very cool. 

Back to Alzheimer's clinic.
