Drivelapse with audio track

About a month ago I mounted one of my GoPro cameras (a Hero 5 Black) on the Subaru's dash to do a drivelapse video; the only other one I tried was 3 years ago, and it had no audio track (which all timelapse stuff needs) since at the time I didn't have any idea how to add a separate audio track that wasn't part of the original footage.

So I set up the little camera and drove to the store and back, stopping for gas on the way back and recording footage all the time the car was actually moving. I recently moved up to Adobe Premiere Elements 2020 and did the post-process work there, this time (having a bit more know-how) sucessfully adding a fast-paced music track, itself a minute & 50 seconds long, cutting it down to fit my 54-second video and placing it so it didn't start playing until the 5-second title block passed. I got the music from YouTube's free audio library. I posted to my still-very-small-channel. Here's the link, please let me know what you think. Thanks!

That was SO cool. Every time I Pass a GoPro in a store I stop and look for a few minutes. I love it, and want one SO bad. I don't really have the money to spend on one right now. Hopefully some day. Please post more when you get a chance I loved i. Thanks

Thanks for your nice review! I am pretty much stuck at home due to my wife's health so I can't get out often or for very long when I do, but I'll try to make some more of these little videos. The GoPro is certainly not limited to folks who like to skydive with one clamped to their head or ride a 20-foot wave with one attached to their surfboard (there's [i]plenty[i/] of those on YouTube). You can have a lot of fun with it simply mounted on your car's dashboard like I did, and it's great for vlogging, though I'm not into that myself.

BTW, I got my Hero 7 Black (which is actually exponentially better than the Hero 5 in terms of capability) just last month for almost 60 percent less than the initial price when it first came out in September of '18--from $399 to $239 (I ordered it thru Adorama Camera, a great company). I keep the 5 for mounting on tripods and such (like dashboards!); the 7, with its Hypersmooth stability, is for handheld shooting.

I will have to watch for sales. I do buy almost ALL my camera equipment from Adorama or B & H. They are both excellent companies to deal with. Thanks

Great video. I also viewed it at 1/2 speed on youtube and liked it even better with the video and music at half speed.

I gotta try that; in fact, I think I'll do it right now! Thanks much for your interest!

At 50 percent slomo it kind of dragged, but looked and sounded pretty cool at 75 percent!

Amazing what can be done with a computer with just a click of the mouse.
