Well, that’s true to some extent. You need to start with something, otherwise no amount of post production will fix it.I would disagree. The key to good dive video is recording good footage in the first place. Post production is just tweaking, but each to their own. Some people just want to record some memories of a dive, others want to recreate Blue Planet with a GoPro.
Editing, however is a must. No one wants to watch an unedited dive video. Even the best photographers will have a lot more bad photos than gems. The same is true for minutes of video. It won’t all be gold. If you are lazy and just post the raw video up on YouTube, you won’t get many that will sit through the entire thing. The same is true if the video is going to be shown on YouTube or NatGeo.
