There are a few things to remember when you plan on recording a dive video. You must ensure that your video is short. Remember that viewers only have three minutes to watch a video. This means that 90 seconds worth footage must be edited in a precise fashion. This will ensure that your video has a greater chance of being shared and hit more times.

GoPro

If you're planning to record a GoPro video of diving, you'll want to take a few precautions before you get started. A quality GoPro Super Suit is a must. These suits can be used to stabilize the camera as you take photos. They can also go down to 60 metres. It is also important to look for a handle for underwater use.


Problems with GoPro

The GoPro camera is an affordable, small, and easy-to-use device that many people have used to record their underwater dives. The camera's video may have issues. Some videos lack color or appear too dull. You can solve these issues by editing clips to improve the quality.

Problems with wide angles lenses

Wide-angle lenses are not ideal for video of diving because they don't provide uniform lighting. You'll get better results if you focus on lighting your subject in front. You can avoid overexposure by attaching a strobe to a longarm. This will direct the light directly to your subject. Be sure to take many test shots before deciding on the best direction to light your subject. As necessary, adjust the power of your strobe and aperture/shutter speed.

Editing underwater video

A critical step in sharing your underwater experience is editing. It is vital that you keep the video short, because your audience has a finite attention span. Generally, you have about three minutes to catch their interest, so it's imperative that you cut the footage to a manageable length. This is done by choosing the best clips from your footage and keeping them in a consistent order. To make your video more interesting, you can add text or transitions to the clips.
