So, I got my GoPro2 and am trying to do my first video. Editing I expect will be viewed as obviously a total Noob, but hey, its my first one.

So I am using Windows Movie Maker to try and edit it. It seems pretty basic of an editing tool, yet decent. I was wondering though how you get the black spot on the screen blocking out the speedometer display throughout the video (for those that have done it).

For music, I take it we can only use what YouTube lists as available? We can't use music from CD's or purchased songs correct?
Thanks.

Blocking Speedo, just for certain times in certain areas!

I dont use Itunes but I have Zune software and also all the music I from my CDs + MP3 purchases. Can I use Windows movie maker to load in one of my songs into the video, or will Youtube block it?

utube wont block it, utube will just say you don't have the rights to the music and not let it be view-able via moble, and some countries cant view it.

How do we get the video to show in the browser view here? I did the embed option but it just seems to appear as html code.

I've been messing with my GoPro since I got it. Think I have a link to my vids in my signature. I messed with some free software and some paid stuff (really liked Pinnacle) but now I use windows live movie maker. I couldn't figure out how to insert pictures, so I put "0000" in front of my speedo sometimes.

As far as music goes, youtube can do all sorts of mean stuff to your vids. You can record your own stuff, try to find some free music, or hope you don't get caught. I do a little bit of each, but I usually don't use music.

Not bad for a first vid. If you use multiple clips, might be nice to fade them together. Definitely add a fade to black (and fade out for music if some is playing) at the end, just to smooth out the vid.

Also, it's always a good idea to attach something to your GoPro in case your suction cup or sticky mount fails. Someone told me the points where the difference pieces attach is the most likely thing to break and send your camera out to the street.

I noticed that about the music. I have this one with the music, but then I have the same one without that song and I tried to use the audioswap from Utube and now that part where there should be the audioswap music is all "dead air silence". Thought the audioswap was supposed to be music that you could use and still get your videos to appear on mobile/xbox..

For my suctioncup I gotmyself some 16 guage wire and tie it off to the handlebar until I buy a dedicated lanyard. The video posted here is with a ram mount (no lanyard) Cant figure out where I would secure a lanyard to the camera from that thing..

Before anyone says anything,
Yes I know that my yellow dealer tag is still on my keychain!
Works nicely as a HI-Viz item to help spot my keys on the messy counter!
