I like creeks too.

You have some nice footage to work with; there is some nice framing and shots in your video.

Some constructive criticism:
The transitions aren't good - I'd say use a cross-dissolve, or just change quickly with no transition.
The middle shot went on way too long, then the next shot or the one after was too short. I'm guilty of this too (too short).

Keep at it, I think your next one will be better!

i am new to all of this so i appreciate any suggestions or help i can get.

You're welcome.

There's a lot to learn, that's for sure.

My advice: watch A LOT of drone videos and see what works and what doesn't. There is quite a bit of free how-to content on drone films on YouTube - watch as much as you can.

Watch the videos posted in this forum.

When you find a shot you like from someone else, try to disect what works about it, then try making a similar shot. Just like everything, over time and with practice your work will get better.

Good luck and keep posting!
