Video Question

[Reelman67]

To date, my videos tend to be washed out, no rich color like on Youtube. What am I not doing right? Is it more a function of post processing video editing? I am using Polar Pro polarizing filters, but maybe using them incorrectly. Went to the beach a couple days ago. Used a ND16PL filter. Haven't experimented with the rotation settings yet. I see there is an enhanced color setting onscreen for the M2P while using DJI 4 Go. Should I be using this feature? Needless to say, I am a newbie at video editing my drone videos. Still learning the VSDC editing program. I need to try using the tripod mode for smoother video as well. I suspect many use this feature, then speed up the video product in post processing. So, I have two issues, richer color and video smoothness. Currently, I use cinematic mode but find it is still rough on turns.

Are you shooting on normal color profile? which are your custom settings? are your filters clean?

It could be due to incorrect exposition, you're overexposing. To see the histogram while recording, can help you

That´s only for what you see on DJI GO 4 screen

Try to lower exp settings of the controller. You can find info on many place, for example, here Sensitivity Settings for Smooth Drone Footage - DJI Go 4 - dronegenuity

Some color profiles such as D-Log are designed to get maximum information in the video for post processing. This may result in lower contrast and higher brightness than one would expect in viewing the original video. After all with 8 bit per RGB color, you only get 256 intensities per RGB color. That may sound like a lot but it really isn't.

Do you have a sample we could check or even just a still image to gauge the exposure?

Check your exposure.

There are several reliable You Tube videos on M2P cinematic settings

Google this term. "mavic 2 pro cinematic settings". You cannot just use the settings out of the box. They will be flat. I love the videos on You Tube of Vic VideoPic. He has the best settings for me.

I can't find Vic VideoPick. Do you have a link?
