Well I’m not condoning it, but you can always go the black market route to get Adobe products.
Understood, but I was expressing a preference for the default hyperlapse high contrast video instead of the HDR created flat video, which looks artificial to me, even though more detail is visible in the shadows. I just don't see the appeal of going to all that extra work for a result that looks worse to me, and is so short that no one else will likely appreciate all the extra effort that went into creating it. De gustibus non est disputandum.
You're describing the difference between a professional and an amateur. Some will definitely appreciate the extra work and higher resolution.
Why would the one frame be "vaguely watchable? 4K at 24fps at 100mbps produces still frame extracts that are roughly 5MB each, capable of printing a decent 8x10 print.
Is your work being consumed by a professional or an amateur? Do they even appreciste the difference? Are they also willing to pay 10x more for the superior result, to reflect the difference in labor between the two methods? I have stated previously that you and I and pixel peepers might appreciate it, but will the client pay for the extra work required?
Depends on the client really. If I were a client myself and I wanted the best work, yes I would notice sub-par work. If you're competing for business and the clients review samples from an amateur vs a professional, you as a professional better hope your work stands out, that's why you put in the extra work - get more clients and maybe because you're a perfectionist.
Been doing it for 5 years. Practice makes perfect. Most of the automated shooting modes are better performed manually by a skilled pilot. However, the convenience and speed of the automated methods may be good enough where time is money, or flight time is limited, or the pilot lacks the skills to perform them manually. In today's instant gratification society, the immediacy of sharing on social media trumps a superior result delivered later. DJI figured this out a long time ago. Anyone can now shoot shots only professionals could shoot previously.
Completely agree. As long as the client appreciates the difference, and is willing to pay for the extra work necessary, it's worthwhile! I used to be a perfectionist, but now the standard is good enough to keep the client happy.
Well, Litchi already supports it on the M2P, which is my primary aircraft, so, for me, it's a non-issue. I also have full manual control over exposure, if needed, within the limits of video shutter speed. M2P sensor also superior to the MA2 in low light, if you are shooting night scenes as hyperlapses. Would the client see the difference between the M2P and the MA2? Would they perceive the MA2 as not professional enough? Ideally, they only care about the results. The MA2 is likely good enough. Everything in photography and video is a series of compromises.By that logic, we can all use a Tello because 720p is enough for most
Bottom line, we already have a mode purposely built for this exact scenario, why are you trying to find a way to minimize the downsides of using a normal speeded up video?.... You won’t be able to get the nice smooth shutter speed no matter what you do and you won’t get the smooth flying the SDK is supported and Litchi enables it.
