    First real attempt to match to the music

    Fair comments. I was unaware that Premiere has auto-sync... I'll have to look into that to see if Final Cut has anything similar. Having watched my video back again and checking against the edit to seems that I have followed the waveform for the cut and clearly it doesn't always match up...

    Mavic mini to Samsung S10 phone

    Looks like you may have got a power-only cable, not a data and power cable from what I can tell (with translate). Send it back... and go again.

    First real attempt to match to the music

    I wanted to pull together a video however didn't have all that much footage; so I thought I would play around and match up what a did have to some music. Was trying to beat match the cuts. Just looking for some thought so what works or what I should avoid for next time.

    Curious if I can fly in this area (UK)

    I’ve been flying in Eastham Country Park (under 60m) and also around the M53 just south of Eastham Ferry... Thurstaston seems to be best place to fly locally over the Dee; but I have only been there once.

    Tilt Shift Video

    Had a week off work (that basically means that I'm just at home opposed to working from home) but had a few days of none Mavic Mini friendly wind. I decided to rework the footage from one of my first flights into a Tilt-Shift Video to make it a "bit" more intresting. Edited using LumaFusion...

    Best Manual Video Setting for Mavic Mini (For Noobs)

    I've been trying to get my head around the best setting on my Mini for recording video. On my last video, the footage was "Jumpy": I found this newbie's instructional video that helps you get your head around the best setting to use. (for me) It breaks it down in a nice and easy way: That...

    One Mavic Mini, One Battery, and One Church.

    the Grammar police have already been to touch... I got 12 years for good behaviour. The music is royalty free but it is credited just in the description as per the licence but not in the video. If I’m honest I would have loved to have a little less wind and a bit more time to get additional...

    Curious if I can fly in this area (UK)

    I hated all the inconsistencies with the different maps when I got my Mavic Mini it was stressing me out trying to make sure I was compliant. First I checked the Drone Assist App: At this point I was thinking "Just return the Drone and get your money back" Then the UAV Forcast App: Not...

    Video Editing Software Recommendations

    I had been using iMovie for years, then switch to LumaFusion on the iPad but recently forced myself to start using final cut when I got my new Mac. It's overkill for most stuff however everything I learnt from using Lumafusion has transferred well.

    Does the music fit?

    I would say pick some music first then re-edit the video so that the footage matches the music you pick. just find a bit of music that isn't too long and that the basic pace matches the footage. Your footage is brilliant. Truly. It looks like it would work with a slower pace sound. I noticed...
