Game-Changer...

 

That term gets over-used a lot these days.  After experimenting with the new Insta360 X4 camera and the Artificial Intelligence editing feature, it is the best description I can come up with.  Using the "1-click" AI editing saves me a couple hours of going through each video clip frame by frame to decide where to put a key-frame in to get the view I want out of that 360º sphere that the camera captures.  Assemble the clips, add some music and titles, then drop in a voice-over... this whole thing (an admittedly short video) took me minutes instead of hours to create, start to finish.

 

It was a lovely start to the day, out on the Burgman 200 this morning.  I did shoot some video with the Insta360 X4 and Go 3.  As you can see in the video, blissfully empty of traffic on the roads today; upper 70s when I left, upper 80s for temp when I got back.  This is the first time since I started shooting 360 video that the editing was shorter than the time spent riding - that is a real treat!

A couple stills...



 Back home about the same time as when Joan came home from the store.  She likes going early to avoid the crowds - I feel the same way about getting in a ride.

I made us a late breakfast on the griddle - getting pretty warm out there by the time I was cleaning it up after we ate.

While working on this post, Joan came into the music room to tell me there was another offer on the drums I have for sale.  I've had a couple offers, but no one has plunked down $$ on them, yet.

Also while I was typing away, Joan had invited Tango over, and he and Murphy were happily playing together.  Another first...

Tango was inside that wood box, while Murphy was on top.  The little white thing between them is a furry ball.  They started nose to nose, then moved to a game of cat tetherball with it.  They are cute together... when it isn't the World Cat Wrestling Federation.  ;-)
