Wind streaks in video?

[Panamaramas]

I took a bunch of video the other day when it was windy and was periodically getting frames with a bunch of blurred pixels sweeping off subjects and randomly through the air. You can especially see it coming off the sailboat on the right side. Any help or ideas is very much appreciated as this location is a two hour drive and I promised the customer some good footage. Thanks so much!.

Can you relate the settings you used not drone (including mode) and your camera settings? It may help getting an answer.

Thanks for your help Thomas. I'm shooting video with a Mavic Air, Auto ISO, 4K 30 fps, Mp4, Sunny white balance, D-Cinelike with a Custom Style of +0 -1 -1.

If you don’t want to set it up manual, and can repeat the same location and time of day a faster frame rate may help as winds aloft her is the best I can offer ...(drone movement) may have been a factor. I manually set ISO at 100 and work from there. I can’t rule out a partially dropped frame or bad SD card.

Good advice, thanks Thomas!

Wind should have no effect on video quality.
It's very hard to tell what the issue is from a thumbnail sized-still.
Post a small video example.
The obvious potential issue to eliminate first is: Are you looking at the actual video from the SD card and not the preview-grade cached video?

Wind will, as has been stated, have no affect on video or still images. The only thing wind can do is move the drone/camera and move the objects being filmed. Wind will not be able to exert any affect or influence on the actual video being shot. Your problems are to do with something else in your process but nothing to do with wind.

I do see some pixelation in one area, but it looks like something is being pumped out of along tube supported by several boats and in lower right the boat appears to be almost aground and sturring up mud from the bottom. Just use 2 fingers to expand the shot in the thread.

Yes, it does look almost like a painting...

Thanks for all of your help on this. Sadly, I never thought about my video card however it appears that was the problem!

Simplest and least expensive fix. Excellent work!

Thanks Thomas. I'm also very happy that I didn't lose all of my footage and that my new $1500 computer with a 6GB graphics card arrives tomorrow!
