Iceland has a lot of strong winds which may limit the times that you want to fly. On the other hand, it is drop dead beautiful.

The features, like waypoints, will probably not work inside. The house’s structure generally interferes with GPS.

The the basic problem is that the 25 fps frame rate is not an integer ratio to the 29.97 fps of the problematic shot. The only solutions are to select either frame blending or Optical flow from the "Retime Process" settings in the inspector. Optical Flow is probably best, but takes far longer...

If your timeline is set to 25 fps you will be fine. By default Resolve will treat any clip as a 25 fps clip. The 29.97 clip will play as if it was a 25 fps clip by dropping the unneeded frames. Using frame blending or optical flow will make the result smoother.

It really sounds like a hardware problem with the the replacement. The other question would be how the transmitter and drone antennas were oriented. The antennas all must be aligned parallel in 3 dimensions to have the control and video signals strong. A controller lying on it’s back is unlikely...

How many satellites? What kind of surroundings with either metal or moisture?

The real issue is water, not meat. It is the water in the meat. Water in leaves and plants interferes with most radio frequencies, reducing their strength between the transmitter and drone.

You also need a card with a speed fast enough to capture the video at your desired rate and resolution.

Civilian Accuracy is +- 16 ft 95% of the time. Generally around 8 ft, but not guaranteed

If you have access to a histogram display, check it for clipping in the highlights of any channel to see what is really going on, and adjust accordingly. If a channel is clipping in a highlight, you will need to adjust your exposure to stop the clipping. There is no way to recover clipped images...

What codec are you using for your files? That greatly impacts th required bit rate for high quality video.

The GPS chips in most of the DJI drones are not accurate enough to avoid these mismatches. The only way to make improvements is in post by making corrections in all 3 dimensions (x, y, and zoom).

The video editors allow you to combine multiple images in to a single composite video which you export. While in the editor, you can animate each layer separately to create anything you want. It is not automatic, and require some training for you before you will be successful.

You could create it as a special effect in a video editing program.
