Some really great footage. Nicely composed on both land and aerial shots. I might suggest that you cut the slow panning shots to about 2 to 3 seconds. I know this is cruel because we love our videos so much.
First of all, thanks for the compliment on the footage and composition of the video.
I don't think it's a good idea to cut the slow pans in 2 or 3 seconds because:
1.- It would not give almost no time to watch them.
2.- In many of them, you would not be able to appreciate the object of the shot as different areas of it are shown progressively.
Also my suggestion would be to make a cut where the inbound and outbound videos are in motion. It looks weird when a cut is made from a stationary to moving video. I usually have still to still and moving to moving cuts. If a cut doesn't work them a cross fade may work. Length of fade depending upon emotion and feel. I find that when using a fade to white transition it is best at about 5-6 frames. The more concise the video the better. People have thew attention span of a flee in heat.
As you can read in many of my other comments, I'm not a fan of adding transitions to a video if they don't add anything to it. In this case, I don't think it would add anything, but thanks for the suggestion.
I agree that the more precise a video is, in general, the more attention will be paid to it, but in my case, I give each video its own rhythm: sometimes I feel like making quick videos, like this one:
And other times, I feel like making slow videos.
In general, I don't think that the pace of the video, the length of the shots, whether it has transitions or not, etc. will change the number of views it will get on YouTube ..... but rather, it will be whether the YouTube algorithm likes it or not and will show it to the right audience.
I have been experimenting using DJI d-cine setting on my
Mini 3 Pro and doing the color correction using LUTs, curves, etc. Not sure it is worth it but I am learning. In all of my work I use Adobe Premier, Illustrator and Photoshop and a few other cool apps.
Be well, fly safe and keep up the great videos.
Same to you and thanks for watching the video and making suggestions.
