I have been wanting to put together a movie of drone footage that I have taken. I am just having trouble organizing everything and am not to good with davinci, any tips? Thanks in advance!
This is probably premature, but once you have actually learned a bit of editing follow these simple rules. (these are rules I made for myself);
1) keep your video to around 3 to 3 1/2 minutes-film smoothly,
a)no quick yaws, or gimbal moves.
b) If you do, edit them out
2) use regular photographic teachings-
tell a story, starting with a wide shot, then an intermediate shot and then a close shot
3) don't repeat stuff
4) easy does it on the fancy transitions- they are irritating as hell. Just stick with cross dissolves
5) use music which fits the subject, hopefully, calming and not hard rock- and, oh, by the way Use music!
6) Try to learn to shoot in H.265 and d-Log and edit with color grading
7) most viewers will turn off your video by 30-50% of the way in-Over 3 years of statistics say that only 25% finish my videos
I could add more but if you watch a lot of videos on this site, you will soon get the idea.
Good luck to you!
