many thanks for all that helpful info. I have an Adobe account for my business , so Premiere would seem the likely choice there. I need to wrap my head around what NLE is in spite of googling it and good pick up on the white boat bit - had already cut out a bit there but clearly missed that...

yes, thanks, only occasionally do i get muted and it's often in just random countries. I've found that some bands have loosened their grip on not allowing music to be used. I dont monetize , I do it for the pleasure and also to complement my work as a professional stills photographer who runs...

Humpbacks of Australia. - Youtube. I've been revisiting some clips i took last season. In regard to the drone clips - taken on both an Air2s and a Mavic 3 pro - i'm just really struggling with colour grading. I use Imovie and am very comfortable in there but i'm a bit reluctant to move on and...

Enjoy this little video of a Baby Humpback playing with some Seaweed. On the east coast of Australia we have the full southern migration of Humpback happening now until mid November. Approximately 40-50k whales are passing by on their way back to the homelands of Antarctica. The babies were...

Yes I think so, and to do this I'll probably have to ditch Imovie ( sob) and move to a much more capable and current program.

Wonderful, thanks for the direction and info - thanks Seth.

Please dont Mansplain me, I'm quite aware of the differences - my dayjob is that of a Sony Advocate for stills.The difference is in my academic expectations of the end result and really, all i came here for was some education about to make my whale videography better. I see a lot of whale images...

I hear you. I'm not sure if you shoot stills with a high end camera? It's not good technique to have your histogram jammed either to the left or the right cos there's no data there. Maybe I'll just have to knock back my expectation a bit that the dynamic range of the MP3 could match that of...

No LUTS. I know what they are but dont have them in any program - Imovie doesnt ( that i know of) . The best result I got was in IMovie was to lower the exposure in post and then pull up the shadows.

I always shoot manual on my stills camera - that's my preference. One the drone i'd prefer to shoot manual but feeling my way still with what is going to work for me. Normally the only auto setting i'd use is auto iso because of the subjects i shoot.

Yes indeed, enjoying the moment you are capturing should always be the first priority i agree. Thanks for AE tip - i'll pay more attention to that next flight.

The Whales dont let me choose when to shoot., so i just try to work with the conditions i get. Auto exposure cant shift itself fast enough when a whale breaches i've noticed, hence my blow outs. thanks for your input.

Great info thank you. So much frolicking - they went nowhere in 3 hours! I think it's the Yaw and Pitch controls that i really need to embed into my brain. What represents smoothness on the XY graph- the smooth line on the diagonal? I'll go and do a deep dive on Youtube. Good to know about the...

Thank you . Lots of good info for me to consider there. Generally i expose to the right in my stills camera with wildlife, but already i've noticed that d-log on the drone gives me more dynamic range to work with. Whale footage is difficult to capture whilst obeying local distance laws. I get...
