First thought - good at flying. Second thought (particularly on video 2) was waypoints / Litchi Third thought - well planned flight and it probably wasn't his first attempt at it.

I've never used it, but it seems that lightworks has various features depending on the monthly fee. Davinci Resolve, whilst you need to buy a key to have some features certainly provides a much more generous feature set on the free version. With Lightworks to get above 720P export it's gonna...

But it's quite pricey. My solution is to have a Contour multimedia controller because it's got two jog wheels and 5 programmable buttons. I've got it set up to do the keys I most use. But I'd LIKE to have a proper DR bit of kit :)

I'm not very good at it TBH. But if I'm offering critiques or advice I will watch it fully - usually twice. But I never consider youtube stats. If I'm enjoying it I'll watch, but if I'm not I'll click out. I do like a well put together video. However, a lot of them lose my interest quite...

I've switched to Resolve aged (nearly)63. The good thing is that you don't have to explore all of the sections. If you just want to drag clips onto the timeline, chop 'em up a bit and post to YouTube it's pretty simple. If you want to do a lot more than the basics then it's a good choice. But...

You don't know how old and knackered my last PC was ;) Yes, I'm well aware of optimised media as I used proxies on PP. Trouble was my last PC would crash if I tried to do this with DR. PP wasn't perfect by any means but at least it would run. I've now moved over to DR having got a PC that...

I really liked the opening! Lots of good flying there and well edited. For me, the main thing was the length. Plus it keeps jumping about with the themes. Surfers, something else, surfers, dolphins, something else, dolphins. Now all of these are totally pertinent as it's what the video is about...

Well done! Good flying and photography. My comment is that the feel of the video is a relaxing, slow pace. That works, but the sharp transitions distract from the mood. I'd be inclined to put in a crossfade between clips.

DaVinci resolve is professional level, but you can do simple editing with it too. I've switched over to it from Premiere Pro. As others have said, the key is having plenty of tutorials on YouTube for whatever you decide on. The only thing I'd say as a negative is that Resolve is a bit...

I don't think there is anything technically wrong with your shots, You chose a good time of day to film, and there is some good stuff there! You don't say what you use as an editor? The reason I ask is that this may be a big help to you. The bundled offerings that make video's for you are not...

It's amazing what these little drones can do! Some excellent photography there! I think a lot of point's of mine have been made already, but I'll mention my basic editing rules. Firstly, delete all jerky footage. It's distracting and can ruin the film. Secondly, group the shots together on the...

Excellent idea! Personally I use a DJI Osmo Action, mounted on a FeiyuTech WG2X gimbal, which is mounted on a selfie stick for wandering about. The gimbal is also used on a chest mount for mountain bike sequences. Below is a sequence I shot just yesterday using this kit. A bit of context...

I started to watch with no sound, and I could see there was a story. So went back to the start, and watched it properly. I loved it! The only thing I'd say is the sequence where you assemble the tent sort of jars, because the rest of the film is so smooth. I like the idea of the tent assembly...

Well the videography and editing is flawless. Well done! The bit I always struggle with is drone video's tend to be a bit samey without a storyline. How I'd make this into a story is where I'm a bit stuck. If you are making a video about a place, then you'd include ground shots, historic...

I'd like one, but the urge to blow the gadget fund isn't there, so certainly not immediately. I'll continue to watch the reviews and see how it pans out before taking the jump. Basically it's too expensive.
