    HOW TO EDIT DRONE FOOTAGE from start to finish - A Beginners guide

    Nice video, thanks. I'm new at this and trying to figure out the best export settings to balance quality with file size. I'm filming in 4k with my Air 2. I'm using a different editor, VSDC, and when I export with the YouTube settings (4k, MP4, h264, 90% quality) I end up with a file size of 4...

    File size problems

    Thanks so much to you and others who offered ideas.... I've started using exporting as .mov with h.265 codec at normal or high quality and getting file sizes that are pretty manageable. I'm going to keep experimenting to try to find the 'best' compromise. I found that some of the viewing...

    File size problems

    Agreed, that's why I'm trying to find out, which of the settings needs to be changed. I was using default high quality 4k settings on VSDC and am trying to find out what settings I should actually be using to maintain highest possible quality with reasonable file size.

    File size problems

    I have a Mavic Air 2 and record video in 4k. I then use VSDC to do basic editing and am ending up with a 5gb size file for only 1 minute of video. When I save project as mpg, it reduces to MUCH MUCH less, but I read that there is a significant quality loss. Any help would be sincerely...

    Mavic Air crash due to IMU error

    I retrieved the drone! That's the good news. Bad news is that I assume that whatever caused it to crash was not resolved. Is there a way to run a diagnostics to determine if all hardware is still working OK? I guess she runs some sort of diagnostics each time I start her, but is there an...

    Wow. Your ability to read and interpret these logs is quite impressive! thanks so much! I don't think this is in the flight log as it may have been before the motor started, but I did receive error 'IMU Redundancy Switch' when I turned the drone on. I see this message when I watch the...
