You need to cut 90 seconds of footage quickly. This will give your video a better chance of receiving more views and sharing.

GoPro

Before you dive, there are a few things you should know. You will need a high-quality GoPro Super Suit. These suits can go down to 60 meters and can keep the camera steady as you shoot. Look for a handle made specifically for underwater use, such a telescopic.


Problems with GoPro

Many people use the GoPro camera to record their underwater dives. It is small and affordable. The video quality of the camera can sometimes be poor. Some videos lack color or appear too dull. You can solve these issues by editing clips to improve the quality.

Problems with wide angle lenses

If you concentrate on lighting your subject in a foreground area, you will be able achieve more consistent results. A strobe attached to a long arm can also help to avoid overexposure and direct light to your subject. You should take several tests before you decide on the best way to light your subject. As required, adjust the shutter speed and power of both the strobe or aperture.

Editing underwater video

The most important step to sharing your underwater experience with the world is editing. Because your viewers have a finite attention span, it is essential that the video be short. You only have around three minutes to capture their attention so make sure you keep it short. This is done by choosing the best clips from your footage and keeping them in a consistent order. You can also add transitions or text over the clips to make the video more engaging.
