Nice job Wayne. Curious if you have any tricks to time-align multiple angles in your video editor? Looks like you repeatedly turn on and off the
cameras over an extended flight. Always a bit tricky getting the multiple views to sync up for voice. I usually just clap my hands a couple of times each time I turn the cockpit cameras on so that I have a video reference with which to sync them. Unfortunately, that does not work for syncing up external cameras on my wing and tail. So I just guesstimate on those.

Thanks, David. I do have a Go Pro Smart Remote that starts/stops the cameras with one click... but it doesn't do a great job (can easily be off a handful of frames), so I still have to (assuming I remember) do the clap to be able to create a sync-able moment. But the remote may be good enough for an outside camera where you're not likely to need lip sync... although I've no idea what kind of range the remote has.
Let me know if you find better ways :shock: .
