Been watching some videos, some of which cut in some time-lapse sequences, with nicely synchronized music.
They look great but they've obviously done a lot of post-processing and spent some time editing.
That makes me wonder how good the videos and time lapses are out of the camera.
I haven't shot a lot of video and the few that I've shot with my iPhone or some with DSLR, I've never bothered to edit. I just shoot video when it seems like a good way to complement stills of the travel photos which is what I mostly shoot.
The stuff posted on Youtube are obviously polished and those people want to get subscribers for their Youtube channels, probably shoot video for a living.
I'm intrigued by the Mavic 2 Pro because it's a stable platform, like shooting on a tripod -- I mostly shoot handheld -- and like hyper lapses.
So my questions are:
1. How good are the 4K videos and hyper lapses out of the drone, without editing?
2. What formats or codecs are they in?
3. What are the best ways to view them, maybe upload them to Youtube and then play them on your 4K TV? Or are people here mostly saving them on their computer and viewing them once in awhile?
In particular I wonder if the hyper lapses out of the drone are smooth or the ones you see on Youtube have been post-processed with nice transitions and effects. I'm not completely against the idea of post processing but they're time consuming. I spend a lot of time post-processing my photos and then use them as screensavers on my computers so I'm "consuming" the thousands of photos every day.
I guess the challenge for videos and time lapses would be enjoying them later for all the time which may be required to post-process or refine them. I can see devoting a lot of time if you're doing this professionally or if you're trying to make a name for yourself, to build a business.
These questions are important to me to determine if it's worth spending $1500-2000 as well as the time. I would also use for stills or actually more to make panos with the M2P, but obviously the value proposition increases if video and hyper lapse content is relatively "easy" to produce.
