Whats in a unicycle video? is all fancy transistions with a good ammount of effects coupled with some good footage or is it more than that. talk about it here.
I am starting to make my first unicycle video at the moment. But I am not sure exactly what I need in it.

Well, excluding all smartass answers (“A unicycling video is a video with unicycling”), I personally think a standard unicycle video needs these two simple components to be enjoyable for the viewer at the bare minimum:
As far as number 1 goes, some people will probably argue that music is not necessary, but I say, unless you’ve got commentary or something in its place (i.e. if it’s a tutorial video), then you need some background music to hold my attention. The type of music can obviously vary greatly, so I won’t say anything there, but I would at least recommend that it is something you could safely play in your car with the windows down with a lot of pedestrians around you.
Oh, and of course be sure to acknowledge the artist of the music you use in credits or whatever.
The footage itself, in my opinion, can be pretty much of any type or skill level of unicycling you want. You can make a themed vid of all flatland skills or all freestyle skills, or just show off anything you know. The most important thing, I think, is editing out all of your bails. For the harder tricks you do (or the more humorous/painful bails), maybe show one or two failed attempts followed by the successfull one.
Sorry I know that’s all fairly vague, but there’s not many guidelines I feel you should have to follow to make a video. Just film whatever you think is cool, and don’t let the elitists on here get you down if they say you suck, because there’s always gonna be someone who watches the video who’s impressed.
Thanks Man thats good info! I will think about what you have said while I film tommorrow a little more. hopefully done by next week 
thanks.
Transitions and effects are not important, high skill level of riding isn’t even that important. Creatig a feel and a mood by the cuts you make and the music you choose is the most important thing.
Having a distinct style makes a video emorable. If I like the style in a video I will generally remember it in a positive way. Personally I like quick jump cuts, but I have seen many videos with all sorts of styles that I have enjoyed.

Personally I would avoid the use of any transitions. People usually get excited when they first start making movies with windows movie maker or imovie and they end up applying all sorts of ugly filters and transitions. I think any type of transition beyond a simple fade or flash ends up looking really tacky and distracting. Theres a reason you almost never see those cheesy transitions in cinematic movies.
Unless skillfully done in a program more advanced than windows movie maker any applied effects (excluding things such as brightness, contrast and saturation adjustments) should be avoided as well for the same reasons previously stated. Also, please for the love of god do not jump onto the seizure-inducing repetitive flash bandwagon.
Haha so true, well put 
Its all about linkin park! If they arent playing for the video, its not worth it.
Thats the most important part.
After that, you do NOT want to riding to match the feel and rhythm of the song. Never do that. Ever.
Actually, before even the editing parts, make sure the person who is filming you has just drank 3 cups of all day energy drinks and is talking on the phone. You really want a shaky and blurry image.
Now, open up the most basic editing software and use every filter they have at the start of each clip and at the end of the clips as well. Seriously. You want the filters and effects to stretch across the whole video. That will impress everyone.
Now, add in the flashes. Like the riding, this shouldnt fit the music, in fact, it should be 60bpm faster than the songs tempo, being in a 5/4th signature, going from eighth note, eighth-triple, 16ths, 5thlits, a burst a 32nds and repeat. That will really make people feel like they are part of the experience and will spark the new dance of going crazy on the floor with lots of drool.
Always add a subliminal flash of some obscene image.
Then for the end, credit all the people that had nothing to do with you or the vid, and even rant a little about someone you dont like. It will show you love and really repect the people.
Then let the last 3 mins of the movie be black, because the song isnt over, and no one wants to cut off the song just because the video is over. So now they can sit back and stare at the black screen, and think of all the awesomeness they just saw.
Best advice ever!
music
if you are ridind intence muni or very urben street you must play welcome to the jungle or if you are showing how many times you tried to get something thing and you finaly do you must play we are the champions
or if its a vid. about crashing play ‘bad day’
