Can you please make a new video for 2024 becuase its much different and I don't understand anything, I tried everything and watched everything so please make a new video.
Thank you. All those categories and rules were making me confused. I have a legacy Air 2S, so now I will just keep on A3 after the exam and I'm good to go, I suppose. I'm moving to Hungary, I'll double check if they have additional requirements there. Cheers!
Fro. U say dji,i switch to another video. Its definitely ignorance for so many of you to just up and believe that every drone owner has a dji drone. Pure ignorance.
If I already have A1, A3 and A2 drone operator certificates from Denmark, and I want to fly my DJI Mini 3 Pro and record video with it, does it mean that I do NOT need to obtain any additional "papers" or permissions or perform any payments or registrations, and I can simply fly the drone in the allowed areas, up to 120m?
New drone pilot here, I'm using the mavic pro 3, mainly for real estate photography, so I film in doors a lot. I'm constantly dealing with stutter footage, I've tried 24fps, 30fps and 60fps and still the issue exists. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I should say, I film in auto.
My word.... I want to be like you Tom. Maybe one day we can collaborate. I just joined LCA. I dream of shooting content like this. I will one day. Be blessed brother. You are living my dream...
Mini 3 Pro only. The Air 3 wasn't released yet when I made this video 😉 It really comes down to exposing as I explain to get this quality out of the Mini 3 Pro sensor. This is valid for each camera/sensor, but the worse the sensor, the more important it is 🙂
In general, yes. The part where the shutter speed is high, I explain exposure - which is easier to explain by only changing shutter speed. Later in the video I explain the use of ND and show the difference in motion blur between slow shutter and fast shutter.
video is really well put together, thanks for sharing... question: you said A1 is allowed to fly over uninvolved people but later said that A1 - A3 shouldn't fly over Assemblies of uninvolved people... so the key difference here is "Assemblies"? and what counts as "Assemblies"?.
Great VIDEO. One thing... You did not film a few scenes yourself, you videoed a few scenes yourself. We shoot with Digital Video. :-) And honestly, you do not have to site the obvious. :-) We video we do not film. Film, filming, and filmmaking are the most misused words in the industry. :-)Digital Video and film require different skill sets. Having DIFFERENT historical and TECHNOLOGICAL timelines spanning 150 years. Having pride and knowledge of the gear we use including the words that describe what we do. Our tools are Digital Video, Non-linear, and CGI. We are moviemakers, not filmmakers. Videographers and/or cinematographers. We video or are videoing, we do not film. That's the other RARE professionals who know how to use film and film cameras, like an ARRIFLEX 435 Panavision R-200 and Steenbeck flatbed film editors. Know the difference and be better at your craft. You will also stand out in an industry polluted with point-and-shoot "pros". Respect to you.✌♥
Well done! Very clear and useful video, thank you for all your efforts. I live in Salzburg and considering the buy a drone to capture the beautiful sights around. I might have recognized some of your footage from the surroundings too, like Hallstatt and Burg Werfen(?), amazing views!
Hi! Nice video! What about this? "A permit from Austro Control is required to fly a drone for commercial purposes. A permit from Austro Control is required to take photos or record video with your drone regardless of operating mass and even if the photos/footage are for private use" Maybe only for commercial purpose...but not super clear since it says "private use" :) /Daniel
I always record in 30fps and I have horrible judder when panning. It ruins every video unless I avoid panning. No solutions out there and so, no, the problem with 30 fps is not "history". I am using a DJI Mini 3 pro. Is there a post process solution? BTW . One software is smooth. It's when I click on a video on my tablet in Samsung Gallery and it uses its embedded viewer. Every other video sw or player on tablt phone or PC has the judder effect.
No ND so shutter is high but I discounted tgis as a lower shutter will only introduce motion blurr. Judder will remain. Also the one playback (Samsung Gallery embedded player) is buttery smooth, so there is a playback issue also with players and editing sw. Only judders when panning.
Always hard to tell without having the footage in front of me. If you have a high shutter speed, your video consists of a sequence of still images with no motion blur, which gives stutter that becomes visible especially with camera movements like panning. Stutter is originating from no motion blur (no fluid movement) but looks similar to judder that originates from incompatible video frame rate and display refresh rate. If one software plays your video back smoothly, it might have some kind of intelligent smoothing algorithm built in. If you have your video on RU-vid, you can send me the link and I can look over it when I have time.
You can fly over Hallstatt when you don't impair peoples privacy and when you don't fly over assemblies of people - which is almost impossible most of the time with all the masses of tourists strolling around there. But filming Hallstatt from the water is easy - no overflying of people there 😉
Hey Tom, I own a mini 4 Pro and I was wondering what was the best option between HLG and D-Log M if I want to color grade my footage ? I see everyone blindly advertising D-Log M but I've read and checked a lot of people explaining how HLG was much better.
I have read that as well. Tried it only once but could not see that it is better or worse. It's just different. If you try it yourself, let me know what you prefer 🙂
Absolutely 180 degree shutter rule (or at least close to it). But the scope of this video is not the use of shutter speed and ND filters, it is focussed on color grading and exposure 🙂
Thank you very much for your comment.. I really appreciate it! Yes, there are lots of misconceptions and it's not an easy subject to get your head around.
Thank you very much for your feedback! I really appreciate it! :) 120 or 144 Hz displays should also be able to play back 24 fps video evenly, but it's just a minority of devices.
Thank you for a very informative video Tom. One question ? Is the refreshrate of a display the same as frequency (Hz) in a PAL or NTSC country. If so this would mean that filming in 30 fps at 1/60th would produce judder in a PAL (50 Hz) country the same way 24 fps with 1/60th would produce judder on a NTSC display (60 Hz). Please explain.
Thank you very much for your feedback! In general, computer and smartphone display refresh rate standard is 60 Hz, independent of PAL or NTSC, so 30 fps video will be fine. With TVs it can be different, but from what I know, most modern TVs are variable refresh rate and can adapt at least between 50 and 60 Hz (or multiples thereof), so you'll be fine there as well with 30 fps video (e.g. playing back RU-vid on TV). IF you talk about actual broadcast (i.e. your content is broadcasted by a TV station and you watch it on your TV), then you should choose frame rate dependent on the broadcast standard in your area (PAL or NTSC). At our video prouction company, we do it the same. Projects for broadcast we do in 25 fps (PAL country here), projects for online we do in 30 fps.
@@t0mwhazzup Thank you very much for taking your time answering. Much appricated. When I saw your video, which is obviously directed mainly for dronefootage in daylight, I wrongly thought "ok so judder problem is a 180 degree rule issue not mainly fixed only by increasing speed from 24/25 to 30 fps". When I found 30 fps as sort of a sweetspot between 25 and 50 and 1/50th shutterspeed in line with as well PAL 50 Hz and RED camera websites calcukator recommendations (1/50th,1/100th or 1/33,3th) for "safe" flicker free video with 30fps in PAL country I thought I could forget about these setting and focus on other. Again, when I saw the video I thought that mayby my judder problems was not only due to fast panning speed (your clips mainly filming in forward direction) but a 180 degree rule problem. Did I have to choose between flickerfree or judderfree ? On top of that PAL/NTSC 50Hz/60HZ electric net ,laptob vs TV display refreshrate and questions made it more confusing. HOWEVER..puh...there are more important issues in the world right know. Thanks again and wish you all the luck with your videochannel.
@@jansvedberg Thank you so much! In PAL country when using 30 fps, choose 1/50 or 1/100 shutter speed to stay flicker free. 1/50 will be closer to 180 degree shutter role, so U'd prefer that whenever possible.
Thank you :) To fly within Europe, you need drone operator registration ("licence") in one of the European countries as well as drone liability insurance. Regarding the Dolomites, at the time of flying there, I had not found any information that it is forbidden.
question, I set mine to 29.97fps but the export I need it to be 24fps because all the other videos from other cameras in my video are in 24fps. It seems to bring back the jitters but in a 60fps timeline, it looks fine. Is there a work-around? I already tried compounding the clips but it doesn't work.
Well, if your camera footage is 24 fps and your project is 24 fps, it makes no sense to record your drone footage in 30 fps. Then you'd even double up the frame rate incompatibilities, since your 30 fps drone footage is incompatible to your 24 fps timeline (so 6 frames per second will be omitted), and your 24 fps timeline will be incompatible to your computer screen (which is probably 60 Hz). I'd do the drone footage in 24 fps then, so that at least everything in the project is the same. But since 24 fps is technically incorrect for for 60 Hz screens (i.e. most computer and smartphones), you'll have to live with the judder (which is not visible in every scene of course, but with drone footage it often is) because an exported 24 fps video can not play back smooth on a 60 Hz screen. No workaround for that. You could only reconsider changing your frame rate to 30 fps in the future for all your cameras and your project (if it's for online/digital/social media), then everything is technically correct and judder will be gone. At our video production company we do it the same: frame rate is always dependent on the purpose of the project. Online stuff will be 30 fps, broadcast stuff 25 fps (here in Europe; would be 30 fps for America). And if we hypothetically produced cinema movies, we would do 24 fps. But that has not happened so far, haha :)
@@t0mwhazzup Thank you so much! I found a workaround by slowing down the footage and it seems to work for some footage and for some it doesn't quite do the trick. But yes, definitely will apply your advice next time. We're in Australia so we're basically the same.
hii I did registered as a operator. how to add Assets in operator account section. Can you clarify this point. another thing I got registration number in mailbox, so this is my operator ID ?
@@t0mwhazzup you’re most welcome! I got my European drone license in Slovenia last year and was told by Switzerland that I’m good to go when I fly there this summer
Frame rate is like religion sometimes. I'm okay with 24 fps (even though it's technically incorrect for most computer/smartphone screens) for most types of footage, but with drone footage it just sucks because playback is so uneven. For YT stuff I'd always do 30 fps all the way, since it's judder free and still has the cinematic look since it's close to 24 fps. Professionally we adapt the frame rate to the project. If it's for broadcast, we go for 25 fps (PAL here in Europe), if it's for online/digital/social media, we do 30 fps... and if, hypothetically, we'd produce movies for cinema, which we don't (but would be nice haha), we'd do 24 fps. It just depends on the purpose. For YT, especially in combination mit drones, it's no good in my opinion.
very nice, clean and easy to follow up tutorial, no doubt hands down! have you done/tested any editing from DJI Avata 2 Dlog M ? the steps are mostly the same anyway but just curious :) thanks a lot for sharing this with us.
Thank you very much for your feedback, I really appreciate it! Unfortunately I haven't had my hands on an Avata 2 so far. But I grade D-Log M from the Air 3 and the Mini 4 Pro all the time, steps are similar. As an option there's also a conversion LUT for D-Log M on DJI's website which you could use as a starting point. But I usually prefer to do everything manually myself, as described in this video.. my methods have evolved a little bit since uploading this video, though.
