WOW. Just loved your vid, in some transitions it was OTT , But the included sound affects fitted perfectly above the background pipes. well done , must have a look at your editing software , where do you find it ??

This was a truly fascinating video with lots of very nice filming sequences. I would not be as brave going under bridges and narrow spaces. The Scottish music track was a bit cloying, and the transitions were typical beginner tricks that should be dumped. On the whole though, I would give this one a "B."

Irish pipes for Mull! Naw! that wid be sacriledge man!
Mind you,.............?
Hi Tim, that is a good catch. Yes, it is 24fps, I agree it is jerky, especially when there is some fast-changing foreground. Yes, mistakes were made. Hopefully, I will know better next time.

Very nice video! I'm also a Davinci editor and I can see someone who knows quite a bit of what they are doing here. Color grading is very good! And in general the drone movements are very good too. ?
A couple of things I did notice though.
#1: Around 0:20 there are a few jump cuts. While this can be a nice way to show a long shot without the viewer getting bored, in general I try to avoid jump cuts if at all possible. I usually use a speed ramp between the beginning of the clip and the end. This gives it more continuity while still giving the same effect of making a long shot shorter.
#2: I agree with what others have said, the "seamless" transitions are a bit too much. While I am not a purist who never uses fancy transitions, I think they should be used very sparingly and only if the movement in the clips fits together. I totally get trying all the transitions out! Been there done that! I think we all go through stages of over using things, whether it be a transitions or a certain grading "look" or whatever it be.
All in all great job! Keep it up!

I usually go for 30fps for projects unless I have NDs and can shoot everything at 180 degree shutter. I never export in 60fps, but I capture a lot that way.
Great video! I agree on removing the transitions or switching to cross-dissolve. What I LOVED was the subtle sound effects you added of the running animals, waterfalls and car. Nice touch!!
