Fuzzy Videos

[ibailes]

I am wondering what I am doing wrong. Video after video looks a little fuzzy. This one was shot a sunny day - used ND32 filter. D-cinelike, 100 ISO , (+1,0,0), 6300 Kelvin, 2.7K 30fps, 1/60 exposure. And before each shot I am doing centered autofocus. Thanks, I have seen some pretty crisp videos out there

Is the video copied off the SD card?

The original video was on the SD card and then brought into FCPX.

Are you using any ND filter? What are your camera settings?

Mossiback, here is the info I posted in my original post for your reference:

This is a tough one. Seems all settings proper for that ND32 Filter using proper frame rate and exposure. Hmm? Wiped down ND Filter and Lens of Mavic with lens cloth?

I imagine you could turn the sharpness up a tad in post.

Oh and that opening follow driveway shot is the bomb! So smooth as it goes from more of a wide angle perspective to a tighter shot.

Was the original fuzzy in post, or fuzzy after upload to YouTube? I’m wondering what your rendering settings are for upload?

Setting aside those issues, I’ve had flights where everything I shot (4K) was blurry. It just wouldn’t focus. My solution, as advised by others, was to recalibrate the gimbal. Then it was fine. Maybe it will help you, maybe not??

Sorry about that. Must be old-timers disease creeping in.

Thanks, I like that driveway shot too

So, taking a look at the raw files on the SD card, they dont seem to have that fuzzines. But in FCPX even before the Youtube upload I see the fuzzy. Im wondering if its the conversion in the import

You got me there. No experience with FCPX. I’m using Power Director 17. So I’m no help on the “conversion”.

Maybe someone else can step in here?

I found a LUT that improved the look a lot. I'm happy with my Mavic now -
