I like a background track, You can still here the revs and action then.

I hear you Aaron, at times I would like to hear whats going on.
This one however I watch often, like the music.
YouTube - Fraser Island 2007 Trip Teaser
That's the key - backing music! Not just music.
I am generally against this kind of thing, from an artistic point of view. I feel the author is taking too much credit for someone else's work by simply cutting their footage into a music video - no matter how good the original music video is.
Also, speeding up the footage is fine for the Keystone Cops or Benny Hill, but not for offroad action. I want to see it as it happened, although I do appreciate a good slow motion grab of something tricky...
each to there own is what i say
if you dont like it dont watch it or like someone suggested mute the volume........
you can how ever have the noise along with music.....sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't
personally i have a lot of music in my videos over everything......because when i take video it is not in a controlled enviroment, so you get people talking in the background (swearing, saying things that you just dont want to be in a video)......you cant control those sorts of things so you edit them out so rather than having half my footage with no sound you put music in if you have some good scenes with good noise in them you incorprate them in.......if it works...
its good to have noise in i think to show for instance how steep a hill is as quite often you lose prospective on camera, and its hard to make things that are difficult look difficult...
but personally i dont think watching home video's to learn how to 4wding is a good idea anyway it would be easy to pick up bad habbits and unsafe practises, better going off with a good group and learning on the job.:)
just my opinion but i will probably get flammed for it:firedevil:
EDIT: oh just watched the video above and personally i think that was very very well done!!!.........not often you get video's of 4wding that are entertaining as that, and one with a story behind it too i think the person that made that was very creative
I have been frantically catching up with Technology and uploading all my old Videos from Offroader.com.au form the last 6-7 years to YouTube and posting them on Offroader TV
non have backing music, as i didn't want to infringe copyright etc when i first made them years ago.
Its amazing how much digital clutter you gather in a few years, just imported 17,000 photos from the whole of Offroader.com.au... thats over the last 6-7 years. and I have about 100+ videos, lost a few over the many server changes / site re writes etc (which we are going through yet again.)
I should import all the raw video on to my mac and re do some of the videos, i have some good footage....
