Thanks Terry! When I bought the drone, I didn’t know that editing was such a big part of the hobby. I’ll get better with time. Thanks for the tip, I’ll work on it.Great video Matt. Your filming was smooth and your editing kept each clip short. With those two fundamentals in the bag, your movie was easy to watch and flowed well.
One thing that you might want to work on, which stood-out to me, is your washed out colours.
Good plan. One tip, if you’re not already, start filming in the DCinelike colour profile. That will allow you to properly colour grade (when editing) and maximum your dynamic range.Thanks Terry!

A bit long, but still a nice job. I enjoyed the video. What drone were you using ?This is my first attempt.
Sorry but this is incorrect.4) Look into ND filters if you haven't already. Beaches are very bright, I suspect you'll need an ND32 to make the most of Dcinelike on a sunny day.
Sorry but this is incorrect.
The one-and-only thing that ND Filters do in videography, is create “motion blur”.
ND filters will NOT help with bright beaches. Nor with DCinelike on a sunny day.
I watched about 2/3rds of it. Nice smooth flying. Will not comment about flying over people. The first thing I noted was tat my videos as blurred. I checked the You Tube cog wheel and saw that it was 720P resolution. The images are just not sharp. There was apparently no attempt at color correction. Everything looked washed out or over exposed. Music was nice. Length was ok. Flying route was a bit unplanned so it looked sort of aimless.This is my first attempt.
The videography and experimentation with cuts, dissolves and wipes was a good start. I would suggest that once you have the raw video that you think of a story, assemble it in a coherent order and then add music. If possible have your music change with or anticipation of the following scene. Unless you are a musician; in which case you would create the music first. In your effort I would have had the boats leaving port first, the various panoramas and then the boats arriving back.This is my first attempt.
Good job. I've been flying for 3 months now and I'm STILL terrified of flying over the lake. I've only done it a total of 3 times. And I have a house on Lake Erie.This is my first attempt.
As a fellow, Noob... I'd love some clarification on this. Can't fly over people... I took this to mean flying over crowds. I only watched the video once, but my perspective was that it was flying NEAR people on the beach but was not overhead... and that the drone was largely over water but shooting back towards the beach.Welcome from Chicago the Windy City.
Nice first, try, you already received enough advise on how to make it better.
Some body mentioned about not flying over people.
Here are some CAN'T Fly Over. People, over occupied cars, sporting events, National parks, close to airport, Check it out for your self. Want to save you future issues. Fly Safe and have fun.
