999 response - Convoy with police (Following the leader v2.0)

Had a play around with the rendering and hoping this views better.
Those in the know can they let me know if this is better than the first upload?
Thanks
Convoy drive with Police leading the way.
Considerations in drives like this are around making sure that as the following car, I need to take different lines, change sirens and ensure I have been seen as it would be easy to assume, having let one vehicle passed, to not see the second.

[@ianmillard1604]

Much better than the other version, no stuttering at the shadowy sections. Great work Chris!

[@gblargg]

Now even 60 FPS! Silky smooth.

[@tomerivan]

agreed! 👍

[@tedh]

Can tell this is far better from just first 2 mins - far smoother and better FPS in the shaded / darker areas. Lot more pleasant on the eyes. Cheers Chris

[@Slaeowulf]

Yes, Chris, that looks far smoother than the other version. Well done.

[@joshroberts4076]

Way way better - really appreciate the effort you put into this channel!

[@BenM14-ZW11]

This looks much better, especially in the earlier part of the video. Great driving, both times lol

[@Addicted2Watches18]

This is so much better than before! When your driving through the section with a lot of trees it was stuttering a lot in the old version this is super smooth awesome to watch 😊 also the work you do is amazing

[@web7115]

Much better that the first video, massive improvement. I always find your content so interesting and this one is no different. I've got so many questions but these videos help with some of the answers, have you ever though about doing a Q&A video?

[@R04drunner1]

Great quality video. Great driving. At 04:48 that was smart positioning by the Kia driver. Most cars (correctly) move to nearside and slow/stop. He got out of the way quickly and put his car on the central chevrons, allowing the emergency vehicles better visibility on the gradual open left and a straighter run through. Very nice situational awareness. Generally, it is far better to move left and stop. Going right can go badly wrong, as with the BMW 5 series in the linked video, but this driver actually did a nice job. Also impressive how quickly you caught up after sorting out the boot problem! 😅

[@CoastHobbit9340]

😮My heart was (briefly) in my mouth at 4'43" when you both did the quick in and out slalom, enormously helped by the Insignia driver stopping at just the right spot to give you a safe margin to pass.

[@tea2thebagel58]

I love watching you drive Chris. True professional.

[@eddief32]

Saw the first vid, Chris, and this one is much improved. The picture is clearer, the sound is clearer, there's no stuttering on the vid from being in the darker parts. Great job and as always, your driving is impeccable. I wish everyone on the road drove with the skill that you have. Maybe we should make drivers take a blue light driving course as part of their license...

[@xxDADDYDAYCARExx]

SOOOOO much better than the other one..... That was like a bad 80's episode of road wars 👍♥️🇨🇮👍♥️🇨🇮👍♥️🇨🇮👍♥️🇨🇮👍

[@musicismytherapy4936]

I'm training for my RoSPA Advanced driving test and your videos are a great help (I don't drive as fast or make progress quite the same, of course!).

[@DuskHorizon]

None of the weird encoding artifacts on this one, much better. Thank you.

[@Dyizar]

This looks so much smoother than the last version of this!

[@David_Crayford]

Much sharper. Small details such as lead car bouncing around on its suspension are clear. Thanks for listening to feedback and to those who gave it.

[@austinhewlett5460]

Was watching the sequence of the blue lights of the police car. Almost like a random pattern. Both excellent piece of driving.

[@avinashbhogun]

Love Baldock. Good memories living in Hertfordshire

[@jbss7382]

@Chris Martin EMS, Great to see you’re human like the rest of us with the boot issue!😅🙏👏👏 Those lanes were scary tight and as for the speed No1 was doing into Baldock?!😮😮😮 Wowzers!!!!

[@diggernator]

Another great video, and excellent coordination between with lead car not getting too far ahead .... massive kudos for leaving the 'boot moment' in the video (had a similar moment myself with locker on a fire appliance.. very embarrassing when we arrived and found it...) .... on the side, some telemetry would be interesting if possible/allowed... 😎😎

[@JonathanGinn]

Interesting parking job at 1:32...

[@sikoetu5349]

I see, you already embraced the recommended method of joining the motorway :)

[@PhillPriceUK]

Much easier to watch thank you - can't believe you forgot to close the boot again though

[@zlinga]

This was way better. Last one looked like it was in 360p only. Thanks for another great video

[@sparkyUK]

That is a clearer image than the previous version, for sure.

[@ozzie1989landy]

A lot better Chris, thoroughly enjoyed both vids thank you 😊

[@absolutelynot10]

I like these 'follow the leader' videos.

[@KevinMarshallsay]

a lot smoother this time round (and possibly a bit of a sharper picture?). Good work Chris

[@0xhayleydev]

Looks 10x better, great job!

[@richardhunt1384]

Again a fantastic video showing true driving skills Chris!! 👍👍 Think you've said in a previous video that your maximum speed is 100mph but in this instance if the traffic car (???) is doing a higher speed (100 mph+) along the dual carriageway can you up your speed to match or are you still restricted (wrong word to use!!) to your limit??

[@michaelwincott]

So much better, Chris. It looked very low bitrate before.

[@6robertdavey]

The difference in visibility between oncoming car one (lights ON) and oncoming car two (lights OFF) is striking. I know the human eye will comensate better than the camera but, tricky to see some vehicles, in deep shadows.

[@bravo.juliet]

Extremely clear this time!

[@jake4957]

Much, much better!

[@mwcavanagh]

Looking good - AI upscaler or just bad export settings? (the main feed looks *insanely* better - was initially wondering if your camera was overheating on the first pass so the source footage was trached)

[@goodmorningladies2923]

Insanely better! Brilliant!

[@joshjordan6987]

so much better i watched it again :)

[@scottybbooyy]

Way way wayyyy smoother!

[@asimplecheeseburgerwfries469]

For a moment there I thought you had left the boot open again haha. But this version is definitely a lot clearer.

[@rickyreynolds17]

Reassuring knowing that’s it not just my Skoda that suffers from that awful wind noise 😂

[@mrb3673]

Training aside, that takes some balls to drive at those sorts of speeds down country lanes and b roads like that.. 👍

[@connorhinde]

Looks a lot better. What software are you currently using to output/export your content, please?

[@TomStorey96]

Do the three different siren cadences have any significance?

[@literalantifaterrorist4673]

Quick question! What kind of calls are you generally going to, with such response times? RTCs or other incidents that would cause a long scene time? Because in critical calls requiring the immediate assistance of a doctor, with such a response time here in the US we’d just scoop them up and run to the hospital.

[@chillies4156]

Nice

[@preloadedmalware]

much better!

[@Lvnat1c]

if you'd have the HiLo siren it'd likely be easier since it can be heard from furter away than the wail, it's also more chill, so less panic inducing and you can tell better from what direction it's coming

[@brianfunt2619]

I guess you didn't pay attention

[@Lvnat1c]

why?@@brianfunt2619

[@Lvnat1c]

​@brianfunt2619 oh yeah, and the HiLo also has the doppler effect which evidences majorly the direction of the incoming emergency vehicle

[@Lvnat1c]

@@brianfunt2619 though, chris' car clearly doesn't have the HiLo tone

[@archechme]

Yep 100% better. Nice. Just wondering, what happened to speed and direction metrics?

[@jackwheatley9198]

A lot smoother pal

[@chimmy7785]

you gotta bip to activate the sirens? thats crazy lol

[@ilikechickensausages2075]

Much better!

[@MattDavis_BeechingsGhosts]

is there a triage of the things you're sent to? If there's two, is there something more catastrophic or risky, or what? Excellent reload BTW

[@findthebadger418]

So there is usually an APP-CC in the control room who will monitor and listen to incoming calls and make the decisions where to send resources. If they’re on their way to something but something else comes in that may require their additional skills more - then they will be diverted to that other incident etc

[@daveyboy23]

That’s much better. 😊. Seems like the police car was holding you up. Lol.

[@SinkyYT]

Definitely better quality.

[@Dudleymiddleton]

Having to drive through debris ridden hatchings you must expect a blow out! Hopefully the tyres handle it.

[@Zeales]

Much better, however, the bitrate still seems to be on the low side (see the pixelation). In your video output before you render your video, you can adjust it there. For 1080p, youtube recommends 15Mbps for 60fps video - Though, you'd probably prefer to be in the 20-25Mbps range, at the cost of longer rendering time.

[@techheck3358]

youtube recommends 15mbps for HDR video. i doubt any dashcam on the market can do hdr. for sdr it recommends 12. that itself is then re-encoded by youtube, to 8-10mbps.

[@Zeales]

@@techheck3358 There are plenty of dashcam that supports that - Alternatively, there are several options available from GoPro that can easily be mounted as a dashcam.

[@JD-tz9jt]

Interesting to watch the different style of emergency driving. I think we all know who should have been the lead vehicle. The guy/girl in front needs to subscribe to your channel. Thanks for another great video demonstrating smooth controlled driving.

[@YB210]

The traffic cop might not have looked as smooth but their driving was very impressive. Motorway entry and exit precision, clearly an advanced Police driver. Chris was on point too as usual, he is just trained a little differently to the traffic officer's, hence some of the almost aggressive looking maneuvers of the Police (who will have pursuit training amongst things). I'm surrounded you probably understand this but others may not and see the Police style as too rash compared to Chri's more graceful appearing control.

[@richardupton19]

My question is,: where were you at the start of the video with the police car?!?

[@gwishart]

Looks like a Sue Ryder centre.

[@cossie6824]

I think when it first uploaded it was showing in 360p By the end of the video it was broadcasting in 720p I went back to watch it again and it was still 720 My guess is it was KZbin’s problem 😊

[@Dudleymiddleton]

Who remembers when they used to go "Blee -Baah - Blee -bah!"

[@BrotherTruckerUK]

I would love this to be my job

[@iwantagoodnameplease]

What's with all the little honks?

[@ste_gee]

The horn changes/starts/stops the siren tones.

[@HJW018]

Siren control is through the horn on the steering wheel so the driver doesn't have to take their hands off of it to mess with a control board in the middle, taking their eyes off of the road in the process at those speeds.

[@e17simon]

I think they are “thank you” Honks

[@findthebadger418]

@@e17simonthey are not

Much better version, none of the stop motion bits.

I expected a new video, until you forgot to close your boot again? Ah, re-upload. 🙂

[@Ed-ws1xe]

Much cleaner

[@JordanNichollsYouTube]

Way better mate. Can see you smoking the police Volvo much better with this render 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@meowlsable]

Cameras not powered by solar power this time

[@medixine123]

How come you had a police escort? ❤

[@sobek]

might be to ensure he has a clear route. Ive seen similar videos from Dutch police motorbikes, where they stop traffic and clear the road so an ambulance doesnt get delayed
