Bike Across America -- 3300 Miles between Vancouver and New York

Made with Shotcut
1

This year I had the great pleasure of cycling through the USA. This resulted in a documentary film. The entire work was realized with Shotcut. I hope you enjoy the footage. There are three versions of the movie

https://azurgo.ch/biked (German subtitles, Swiss German)
https://azurgo.ch/bikes (Swiss dialect version)

I think it’s great that editing such a work is possible today under Linux and with open source. The programs used are from the multimedia Linux distribution AVMultimedia. Exception: An old version of GPX-Animator (adapted about 4 years ago) was used to generate the map.

Enough of the explanations, enjoy the movie.

More information about the trip itself can be found at https://azurgo.ch/english/bike-across-america

Note: It should be added that the movie lasts about 90 minutes (including the intermission). It was shot in 4K with GoPro, Sony video camera and Autel Nano+ drone. The links above contain direct links to the movie in FullHD (click once to start the movie).

Hi @avbox - wow, that is epic! Love it. Brilliant job! I agree, the map sections are great. So is the scenery! Bravo!

Was a bit of work. I used an old customized version of GPX-Animator to generate the maps. Map data is from OpenTopoMap. There I used an overall view so that we get some idea how the landscape looks where I bike. I had to render it with 4K so I could zoom in to FullHD in the final movie (the part of the map is only FullHD).

Thank you for your positive feedback. I just realized that you make great tutorials for Shotcut. I’m sure that I will be inspired for my further work.
