Hey guys...
I have seen some threads and remarks about the best camera settings for your Mavic. I have gone a little deeper in this stuff and it is actually not that simple but also not rocket science..
Of course you can select "auto" but that is not the best setting. It is OK if you do a test flight and make some footage but if you want to transform "nice footage" to "cinematic quality", it is by far the worst setting to have.
It is, however required to do some "higher level" of color grading and working with LUT's.
For some who use Final Cut Pro X or CC Premiere color grading, this might be easy but for some, it is something totally new.
I just played a little with some footage from site here and the changes are remarkable.
Left is the original footage from the Mavic, right is with a little color grading.
And although it is a little tricky (and I'm far from an expert) it is not hard to upgrade your footage from "flat" to "vibrant".
I think I will put a little Joetjoep tutorial together the next couple of days and show you what can be done even without (expensive) apps. I use e.g. Color Finale and Coremelt but the standard apps in FCPX allow you to do a lot more then you think.
Let me know if you are interested because it is a lot of work (and I don't even have my Mavic here)
