First try with Divinci. Got up for a flight between rain showers today. Not complaining, we need rain or else they won't reopen the national forest and that's where all the mtb trails are!
Yeah, takes a little getting used to, make sure you shoot in D-Cinelike, and shutter 180 to your frame rate (120 if 60fps / 50 if 24/25 etc etc) look at the clip from flying towards the trees, there's hardly any motion blur, I know sounds odd but moving footage without motion blur just looks odd to humans (why watching high framerate footage like 60fps stuff usually doesn't look as good as 24/25 fps even if it is 'smoother'). Premier just introduced a really nice 'auto' colour matching/grading tool, and it's brilliant, can colour grade one scene, then 'match' other scenes to the same grade, or pick a picture/frame from a 'well known movie' and grade to that if you like instead, it's brilliant (I'll deffo use it in the future)
It's deffo as much science as it is art colour grading.... But practice makes perfect
ND 16, I don't have a 32. I have 4/8/16 in both regular and polarized.Yeah, just set the project to a different frame rate, and when you output it will be converted. I tend to shoot on the mavic at 60fps gives me some scope for slow motion then. Honestly it looks fine, just didn't seem enough motion blur was all. What ND Filter were you using? ND8/16 tends to be the sweet spot for most, ND32 in bright sunshine.
Although I'm hardly one to speak, I regularly get the white balance wrong
Hey I'm learning too, so hey. Just rendering some footage from the other day in 2.7k/60 see what it looks like on YouTube, just been playing with the colour matching stuff, it's really very good, only minor tweaks needed after you grade your first shot, pretty impressive!
Yeah I mention that in my video above, 0.10 on yaw and between 5-10 on gimble speed is what I stick too
I have slowed down both, I'm working my way down to where I'm comfortable. After flying fpv racing drones, it's hard to adjust to more sluggish stick inputs. Just retraining my brain, to a new skill.
Just remember, they will only be sluggish around the center, not the extremes, you can adjust the gain, so it's more deliberate around the center, and scales up to normal outside of that.
Nice! How far out were you flying? Also, what was your peak altitude for most of the shots? I got distracted by the train...
See the shadow top left(ish)
Looks great, well done.At the end (by the canal boats) I was 3/4 mile out, flying 35 feet below me (why I stayed up, as didn't have a true alt reading, so didn't want to bump into any power lines) Plus there was a helicopter flying around (see it's shadow right at the end of the canal shots fly over) and obv didn't want to bump into that either.
Probably up 30 or 40 feet(ish)
Just noticed clipped the helicopter shadow, So here's a still

I think I may switch back to 1080p to make editing easier on my laptop and to match up with my gopro 3. 4k is enticing, but I don't even own a 4k TV.
I know what you mean about costs, but it really is better to have an nd filter, even if you just get one (16 prob) you will get better results. They are not super expensive, even get one of the cheaper sets, don't need to blow hundreds on them.
I have been flying fpv drones for two years and this is such a dream to fly. So fun and then you add the video and picture aspect on it, it was a no brainer for me.
