Last month I posted a link to my video Bergen 4k Chasing Daylight. I also started threads on a couple of other drone enthusiast forums to ask for comments.
Being quite new to serious video editing, I wanted to find out where I might improve.
I received lots of constructive criticism and have addressed most of it in my 'Final Cut' version of the video.
The improvements made are:

The improvements made are:
- De-shake parts of the video where the Litchi app turns were a bit jerky
- Crisped up the transitions between the different times of day
- Remove the people from the reversed clip - they were walking backwards
- Changed the speed of parts of some clips to give them more interest or to match the music better
- swap out a couple of the clips for better ones
- Fade out at the end to finish properly (and to cover an inintended pan)
- The video is still the same length - 4:34, because it is choreographed to Scott Buckley's Chasing Daylight
- Add transition effects between clips - I did try this but everyone in my family said that the transitions weakened the impact of the changes, and the song itself has a very definite beat, so hard cuts seem to work better. I may post a short video showing the various transitions I tried for comments.
