I use Davinci Resolve. It’s free and pretty easy for basic use. I have a few beginner videos on my YT https://youtube.com/@paulhowardvideos

Yeah, I’ve had no problems in Bodega. It’s north of the Golden Gate Park restriction. In fact I just got back from there today. It gets foggy so hot and miss. But actually loved the footage I got in the fog. It can also get windy so if you have mini 3 pro it can get pushed around.

Hi Pelagic, new to the boards and living in Oakland. As you mentioned, I'm finding a lot of restrictions in the Bay Area.
