I was selling my 3d printed mavic air battery holders a while back on ebay, £10 for a pair with belt clips, interest wasn't really there so I pulled the listing. Shame really. I made a Mavic Air battery carrying solution

Are you using the latest version of FCPX 10.4 I think it is? Hopefully I'll have time tonight to have a play.

You might be best off creating a new project if you can. See if that makes any difference. I have had issues in the past with optical flow and analysis where it would say its analyzing the video but its not doing anything. On creating a new project it worked perfectly.

Same spec macbook pro as mine and I have not noticed any issues. Are you working from the internal drive or an external drive? I'll have a look into it later tonight when I get home, I've had no issues either with final cut. Sorry if I sounded condescending with the compound clip. My thinking...

ok, 4k@24fps what spec is your macbook pro? I5 I7? Its possible that your macbook is struggling to play the 4k footage, you might want to tick Create a proxy during import, this will create a lower resolution file just for editing purposes, then when you output it will use the full resolution...

When you import, do you have it set to create an optimized version? The flickering sounds like a framerate problem somewhere. What are the details of your original files resolution/fps e.g. 1080p@30fps? What have you got the compound clip set at?

I was going to test this out yesterday but never had time. Its my understanding that in active-track, as long as it shows in the app its tracking a person, it will use dynamic home-point whether you use WiFi or a controller. Yes you will be limited by the 100m WiFi range, and that's okay as long...

Cinematic blur is achieved only at double frame rate. Eg. 24fps = shutter of 50, 30fps = shutter of 60. If you think you might be filming in an area that could get brighter or darker start with ISO200 and calibrate from there. This will give you to compensate overexposed areas without having to...

Yes, set your Mavic to auto mode at the correct Resolution and FPS you are shooting in eg 2.7k@24fps. Without a filter installed, point the camera or fly the drone to the place you want to get the shot and make a note of what the automatic mode set the shutter speed to and dial that into the...

Yes, this is all in manual mode. If you are using Automatic mode then adjust the EV will tell the camera to either make the image darker or brighter by automatically adjusting ISO/Shutter. It will automatically follow the principles I outlined above though. Normally it will adjust the shutter...

If you have iMovie you can increase the brightness a little but for better results paid software is probably the way to go. One of the reasons to get exposure as close as possible at capture.

I'll try and explain it so you understand. ISO: low ISO (100) will give you a cleaner image but needs plenty of light. High ISO (1600) will work in lower light but will give you a noisier (mushy) image. Shutter: Low shutter (25/30) will let more light into the sensor but will introduce motion...

Yup, just inertia doing its thing. Nothing to worry about. They are foldable props, when the motor spins up, centrifugal force will spin the props out straight.When the motor comes to a stop the weight of the props will keep them moving briefly, making them rotate at their pivot point. All good :)
