Planet Ride x RED LED Video: Get Your Trip Video Edited

Coming home from a roadtrip is a shock: the daily routine returns fast, footage piles up on a hard drive, and that “I’ll edit it later” promise quietly expires. That’s exactly why Planet Ride partnered with RED LED Video: to turn your raw clips into a shareable 3‑minute film—without losing nights to timelines, codecs, and endless sorting. This collaboration was built for riders and outdoor travelers who want a clean, emotional recap they’ll actually send to friends and family.

RED LED Video: turning raw footage into a film you’ll share

What is RED LED Video—and why create it?

RED LED: The goal is simple: use all those rushes—your raw material—and transform them into a video you can actually share. Video has become disposable; we want to give value back to travel memories.

RED LED: Editing is where most people get stuck: sorting sequences, finding time, learning software, managing storage. Our gift box is designed to be the one thing you don’t forget in your backpack—because the magic happens after the ride.

How it works: everything is online. After your trip, you upload your footage (and your music if you have something in mind), add a few notes about your story, and our editors handle the rest. Delivery is digital.

What makes RED LED different from automated editing tools?

RED LED: We’re dedicated to outdoor and adventure travelers. Our team selects the right moments and creates an artistic arc with music and transitions. The job isn’t finished until the video triggers emotion.

RED LED: When I tested more automated competitors, the result often felt chaotic—something I wouldn’t show to friends, let alone family. We’re aiming for a film that holds together: clear, watchable, and proud to share.

Music rights—solved: copyright is a major barrier to sharing travel edits. RED LED’s approach is to provide a library of royalty‑free music so your film can be shared legally.

“Competitors make disposable video. We make shareable video.”

Who’s behind RED LED Video?

RED LED: A small team: three editors, a web developer, and a graphic designer. I’m Nicolas, an engineer by training and an image-capture enthusiast.

RED LED: With action cameras everywhere and better image quality than ever, people record more than they can process. The outcome is predictable: vacation videos end up on an external drive and never get shared. I’m not the type to wait—RED LED was prepared before I even left my previous job.

Building the startup: what was hardest?

RED LED: The launch was a race against the clock—being ready for the holiday season meant a very tight schedule. The 3‑minute gift box opened for pre-orders, and the platform was planned to go live in January.

RED LED: Another major turn: we had to change the company name due to trademark registration issues in France. That meant rethinking visual identity during the launch. A few sleepless nights—but we got there.

What’s next for RED LED?

RED LED: The objectives set at the time were ambitious: selling internationally with an English version of the product and website, launching new services for event coverage and group films, and developing sponsorship actions.

A message for Planet Riders

RED LED: People say “out of sight, out of mind”—maybe. But they can still watch the film. Planet Ride gets you on the road; RED LED makes the memories shareable. So go—ride far—and bring back as much footage as you can.

Early Birds Offer: Planet Ride x RED LED Video

Do you actually watch your vacation videos? Is editing a headache you keep postponing? With the RED LED gift box, the idea is to film your adventure like a pro—and let experienced editors build a 3‑minute story you’ll want to share.

Planet Ride offered a RED LED Video box for trips booked before February 15 (offer in the original article).

To qualify, the original offer referenced booking a roadtrip in North America—specifically Planet Ride’s roadtrips in the USA and the roadtrips and adventures in Canada (motorcycle, car, snowmobile)—then booking before the deadline and departing on your roadtrip.

Practical flow (as described):

• About a week after payment, you would receive the RED LED box by mail, including a voucher for the edit and the “director’s booklet”.
• You film during the roadtrip (action-cam, phone, DSLR—whatever you ride with).
• Back home, you upload footage to RED LED Video and receive the edited film afterwards.

Micro field tips: film smarter on a motorized roadtrip

• Keep clips short: 5–12 seconds is easier to edit than 2‑minute takes, and you’ll naturally capture more “usable” moments.
• Record transitions: parking the bike, tightening a glove, a fuel stop, a motel sign—these small connectors make the story flow.
• Sound matters: even if music is added later, grab a few seconds of ambient audio (engine idle, wind, gravel) for texture.
• Battery + storage reality: for full riding days, plan spare batteries/power bank and enough memory; offloading at night avoids losing a whole day to one corrupted card.
• Planet Ride pro pacing tip: if you want footage that doesn’t look rushed, don’t stack the day to the limit—aim for real riding time that still leaves daylight for stops, short walks, and a second take when the first angle isn’t right.

FAQ

How do I avoid coming home with unusable footage?

Mix wide shots (road, landscape) with close details (hands, dashboard, gear). Film in short sequences and repeat a few key moments from different angles.

Do I need internet on the road to make this work?

Not necessarily. The upload happens after the trip. On the road, focus on backup (laptop, SSD, or extra cards) rather than connectivity.

What’s the easiest way to make a 3‑minute film feel complete?

Think in three beats: departure (setup), the heart of the ride (routes + encounters), return (a final scene). Even 2–3 clips per beat is enough.
