In this video I talk about the soft, smeary, footage that can show up you DJI Mavic Pro footage with certain settings. These shots were done with D-CineLike color profile +1, -1, 0. Firmware v01.03.0600
The conclusion is that the Mavic applies a very poor in-camera noise reduction to the shadows at sharpness settings below +1. I suggest leaving sharpness settings at +1 for all golden hour shooting. If shooting at noon with lots of trees, sharpening at 0 may be preferable because there will be very little shadows in the image, and this will avoid an over-sharpened look.

@edferd100 6 лет назад

The Film Poets How to apply the Neat apps?

@timmy7596 6 лет назад

what about the phantom 4 Pro ? is this applies to that as well ? Because I usually use Sharpness -1

@aaronthomas9163 5 лет назад

Hey, I’m not sure why but when I shoot in 4k and export on a 1080P TL my footage looks soft compared to the raw footage. My raw footage is nice is crisp but when I export the video in 1080p it’s soft but if I export at 4k its great. Why is that? Thanks

@shawn3d 7 лет назад

I have been trying to tell people this till I'm blue in the face. Mad how 0 or less sharpening became "the best setting"Finally this idea is getting traction 👌

@glkoop 7 лет назад

BlueHouseFX you were the first to say so !

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

Yea, it goes to show that every camera sensor needs to be approached without any preconceived notions.

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

Oh and your 2.7k mavic footage looks great. Any reason to choose it over over 4k?

@shawn3d 7 лет назад

The Film Poets thanks buddy. Well the reason is that the 2.7k is far more superior in quality. There is far less compression blocking and more detail than 4k even when it gets upscale do to 4k. I did the side by side comparison test on low contrast areas and the 4k lacked detail where the 2.7k you can actually see far more. Try it and you will see. Blows my mind. So essentially it's also an easier workflow to deal with the lower resolution. Then just use instant HD plugin to uprez the file to 4k if you want to. The results are far better my friend

@shawn3d 7 лет назад

Gilad Langer thank you buddy, yeah been trying to tell people till I'm blue in the face about this. Where this misconception came in was when Phillip Bloom(who I highly respect) made a claim that -1sharpness was the way. From there it spread like wildfire. I believe It was a mistake from his part which can happen to the best of us. I have also chatted to him about this and we bounced some thoughts around it and eventually the conversation phased out. Again the internet is a place where misinformation can spread badly and it's important to look at things objectively 👌😎

@brewsnoop 7 лет назад

Love the low-key vibe in your tutorial video. Very informative, thank you.

@Waipali 3 года назад

I just wanted to thank this team for your finding. I swear every single person in RU-vid making videos about Mavic Pro settings, mentions this issue and how they use the +1 sharpness setting. Yet, most of them fail to credit you for that. It kind of annoys me, but hey, thank you! we know it was you (or so I think)

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

Update. As of July 29/2017 firmware this is still an issue.

@jjsereday 7 лет назад

Thank you for spending the time to figure this out. This has been a huge issue since day one and really frustrating. I even personally spoke with Michael Perry from DJI and he assured me that it should be as good as the phantom 4 sensor was. Still had issues. Glad to see such a difference on your shots

@IBareItAll 7 лет назад

Thanks for taking time with this. I never had as many issues dialing in my settings on my p3, p4, Inspire as I have had with the Mavic. Everywhere you go people are taking about the sharpening value and you get a range of -3 to well +1 in this case. Your tests clearly show that from -1, 0 to +1 have drastic changes. Thanks for sharing and Ill test +1 here soon..

@WhatMaxThinks 7 лет назад

Hi Steve, How did your tests go? Would you say you are satisfied with the sharpness of the Mavic? I am considering a purchase but want to make sure its something I'm truely happy first, with considering the costs. Sharpness is a top priority for me and I'd love to know your thoughts. Thanks!

@MarcoCantieni 7 лет назад

You really saved my day. I was already suspecting, that shooting with sharpening -1 might be the cause for this effect in so many of my films. Thanks for illustrating it quite well.

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

Who else has noticed this problem?

@v1dronemedia696 7 лет назад

I currently operate the Inspire 1 Pro (w/ X5) and Phantom 4 Pro. One of the main reasons I've have stayed away from the Mavic is the small sensor, but it does look like you can get some good footage - especially with the info that you have provided here. I know a few folks who currently have or will be getting the Mavic and will be sure to forward your video to them. Been following you guys for a while - you're work is top-notch! Thanks for the informative video!

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

happy to help, and thanks!

@meida_fpv 7 лет назад

The Film Poets I have! Feel like this started after firmware 0200 or 0300

@jd2086 7 лет назад

The Film Poets i notice that too, And I found that exact answer too,always shooting at +1

@DenisSokol 7 лет назад

I figured out this yesterday, after I decided to test different color profiles and sharpness settings. And now your video pop up. Sounds like Google learned to read not only search history, but also minds. :)

@platinumsteel6458 6 лет назад

Been trying different settings like crazy tryna figure out why the trees look so matte and blocky...thanks a million for clearing this up man...these settings truly worked.

@NicoDeBarmore 7 лет назад

Would love a video showing how you run the footage through Neat Video

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

I'm on it.

@robtorok3935 7 лет назад

I agree, I tried various settings and I the results were horrible. Even if you supplied the configuration used in NeatVideo, this would be valuable.

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

Presets are now available on the product page. They were made with the help of the team at Neat Video, and I have lots of great feedback about the results. - sellfy.com/thefilmpoets

@followtheboat 6 лет назад

Hi. I'm just processing a whole load of Mavic footage and it's all disappointing due to the mushy look. You say you have a preset, which one do you recommend and how does it help with this mushy look? Is it the Corrective LUT? I have Neat and tried to experiment but didn't get any improved results.

@thefilmpoets 6 лет назад

If you shot it with 0 sharpening then the shadows will always look mushy. There's no fixing that.

@DavidBattistella 6 лет назад

Perhaps the most important video made for Mavic Pro shooters and filmmakers. Really great.

@ConnorTrimble 7 лет назад

This was SOOOOO helpful! I've been wondering why this is happening for me, especially during commercial work I've been extremely frustrated

@Germ0o 7 лет назад

I fly the p4p, have followed a few tutorials on youtube about "best video settings" ...I found that leaving the auto feature is ok, this will help one determine whether or not the footage requires manual editing. I'm amazed that you found this in the mavic, pretty cool....knowing the blind eye wouldn't be able to tell unless you point it out. Great job on that. Thanks for sharing.

@MrIanWebb 7 лет назад

Thank you!! I thought I was losing my mind. Going to +1 sharpness goes against everything I have ever done, but I get the most consistent results. Glad to hear someone else feels the same!!

@David_Hammond 6 лет назад

dude i absolutely love you for this, been dealing with blurry footage for SOO long now. Hopefully this helps!

@donfather4632 7 лет назад

Sorry for my bad english. But I have to tell you that I am searching youtube for days now to find good settings for the Mavic. And this "trick" with +1 sharpness and noise reduction in post is awesome! And you really explained in a way that even a beginner like me can understand that. I think everybody here would love more tutorials from you (or did I miss them) and the next one should be how you created this beautiful look in the video above in post production. ; )

@donfather4632 7 лет назад

ok i should watch the whole vid first : D....tutorials are coming

@pukki34 7 лет назад

I had my first two flights, on the same battery and allready I noticed the issue. Thx for this tutorial, nice and simple.

@bushgreen260 7 лет назад

so this is the reason mavic pro has soft footage even in infinity focus. they need to do a software update and give us the option to turn off in camera noise reduction so we can record at 0 sharpness without it.

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

The mavic's infinity focus is soft because it's not really infinity focus. I think it's going past infinity. Just tap a spot about 2/3 into the scene and you'll be fine. This sensor is so small you're not going to get shallow DOF unless at macro focus.

@Floyd005 7 лет назад

agreed, my GoPro 5 has no focusing issues because it is locked to infinity, the Phantoms are also locked to infinity with no issues. Drones do not carry telephoto or Zoom lens, no reason to have this focusing system on it.

@danep99 7 лет назад

Great post. A lot of my footage hasn't been sharp so I'm going to try this today👍🏿

@RaigarRogue 7 лет назад

Can I thank you for being one of the few youtubers who talks about Mavic settings who gets to the point quickly. Like and subscribe from me

@kuriousgeorge6825 7 лет назад

Oh wow - thank you for figuring this out! Been driving me nuts and I thought it was related to encoding rate on 4K video. Some trees have nice sharp edges, and some look like fuzzypotatoes. Ug! I've Watched so many videos trying to figure out how to fix this and everyone says to dial sharpness DOWN to -1 or lower. Never even occurred to me to try it the other way. Wow! Definitely inspires me to drop my preconceived notions when I get my next drone. Thanks again!

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

I HATE in camera sharpening, so I was the same way! Glad this helped.

@imruzz 7 лет назад

thanks for this. I just did my first sunset fly and all the footage was muddy. The day footage was fine. You exactly answered the problem for me. Testing out the solution tonight. keep up the good work man ツ

@rhproductions77 7 лет назад

Thanks, I recently started noticing a lot of noise in the image and couldn't work out why, I had recently adjusted a number of settings for best picture, started using ND filters and manual exposure - couldn't work out why was the single cause - this explains why ! Thanks

@JPMediaProductions 7 лет назад

Lifesaver! I'm so glad I I found this video. Everyone was saying to reduce the sharpness when in fact increasing it by +1 makes all the difference. Post production is the way to go, but getting a majority of it right during your shot is just as important, if not more. Thank you!

@bioslash 7 лет назад

Finally! Thanks for doing the research. I've been really confused why there were just sections of softness in my footage. This makes sense (the problems and solution, not what DJI is doing with noise reduction).

@itsyouitsme5939 6 лет назад

Can’t thank you enough for this! The Mavic had us so frustrated because it’s such an amazing drone!!

@paulmhoward 7 лет назад

Good tip. Those last few shots at the end of the video instantly earned you my sub! Keep it up!

@joshuawagner9958 7 лет назад

Excellent video! I shoot real estate photography with the P3P but recently have been debating going to Mavic Pro in order to simplify my gear load. MLS compresses so much of the image that I have no need to do the 1" sensor on the P4P. Your voice audio is excellent by the way, definitely makes for watching your video much more pleasing than others. I'm going to watch a few more of your videos, you may have a new subscriber coming your way ;)

@artillerystudio 7 лет назад

I've read / watched so many attempts at tackling this problem. I thought It was simply a compression issue with the MP4 codec making mush of low detail shadows. One solution I was given was to flick between pal and ntsc before every flight. I'll be trying this +1 idea out tomorrow morning - thanks

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

yea I tried that in my search. no change there.

@machajohn 5 лет назад

You're a lifesaver! I went on my honeymoon last year with 0 (or less)sharpening and a bunch of the footage came out soft like you showed. Super disappointing when I came back to edit it. Not all of it was bad but lost waaay more than I wanted haha. Thank you for saving my future videos

@Vladimiradventurephotography 7 лет назад

Hey, thanks so much for the info! Just shot vid in Malaysia and was shocked to find these mushy patches om parts of the image. Will try with +1 tomorrow.

@likebliss 7 лет назад

@ineedlulz 7 лет назад

Finally, finally, someone with some quality to back it up. I've followed your work for a long time, truly exquisite work you people do. When I first saw your videos I thought man, what gear do these people use? At the time, a P3 and a 6D. I use your work, as a benchmark (more than just filming of course, there's a lot of work BTS) to show my customers what you can do with a 6D because of the astounding quality and the final product you create. So happy for this video to have come out too. I often thought it was D-Log that made the contrasty shadow areas look so so so bad, but of course I was following the '-1/-2 sharpness' trend. Seems both are the culprit. Do you mind what profile/sharpness/saturation/etc you work with? I'm also very keen on the 2.7K vs 4K comparison video. Thanks!!

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

Such a kind comment Colton. Thank you. I like +1, -1, 0 with D-Cinelike, but D-log is nice for adding an extra stop of DR. After doing more tests, I've released just how noisy the Mavic's sensor is. The flicker that you will see with +1 sharpening is actually a pulsating noise that, not an over sharpening effect. Neat Video is a must to remove this. Cheap NR plugins just aren't enough, although I originally thought they would be. I hope to demonstrate these tests and fixes with another video soon. Thanks again.

@ineedlulz 7 лет назад

Very cool, I look forward to it! Thanks a million!

@ineedlulz 7 лет назад

The Film Poets I gave the profile a test, with just the demo version of Neat Video. Even though it's a small sample (720p or 1080p I forget for the resolution affected) of the 4K I'll be doing, I didn't notice anything drastic. Right now in Alberta our trees are leafless and when filming there's often that 'over sharpened look'. I applied the profile, but perhaps I missed something. I saw a very [very] slight reduction, but not enough to remotely remove that 'over-sharpened look'. Am I missing a step? Thanks!

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

There's actually a setting inside of Neat Video called "Edge Smoothing". You can crank that up to really knock off the edge if you like.I've found that it works well in 4k mode but isn't needed for 2.7k. Also, Neat Video removes the flicker that comes from the noise pulsing every 7 frames.

@kevindalferth1906 7 лет назад

awesome, I had this issues and was annoyed by the not sharp images I was getting... Thank you BIG TIME

@StephenBoyd21 6 лет назад

Thanks for that really near setting. I am just starting on my Mavic journey so I'll be sure to go and check my settings.

@thehomestudionerd 7 лет назад

Thanks! Good info. For us novices and newbies it would be very helpful to show a screen shot of the DJI app showing the settings as you talk about what you are editing. But thanks for the good help and info! 👍

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

Yea I think that would have been helpful. at 1:15 you can see the style menu with three adjustable buttons. Sharpness (triangle) Contrast (circle) and saturation (square). The numbers below each are the setting. and the different names are just simple presets. I choose custom, +1,-1,0

@h2videokanaal 7 лет назад

Part of the problem is this: the camera records video in a limited color range: 8 bit color means 255 levels - but limited color range means only 16 - 235 colors are recorded. Although you can record under exposed the main problem will be in the low light area's. Although you might be able to restore some of it with neat - basically the camera recording is putting all colors 0-16 in one color and that looks like unsharp. DJI should provide a full 8 bit color range 0 - 255 in order to do a good job in post and make neat even work better. besides that: there is a substantial difference in the different profiles (d-log - d-cine none art) but they all record to limited.

@johnerlinglinde 7 лет назад

Excellent !!! Addressing a problem that was really bothering me. Can't wait to try +1 . Now the next issue is the Litchi app. Fun app to use with the autonomous flying and screen capturing but terrible video.. I did not look for setting adjustments when using because so excited about the flying part. Any comments on Litchi? I can hear you have a more complete understanding of the video part than I have for sure. Keep posting!

@hazmatt81 5 лет назад

It’s tips like these that really allow you to dial in your footage! Great video! Thanks!!

@The1337Mike 7 лет назад

This is almost too crisp and cinematic for the simple subject matter of the video. Totally floored by the editing, +1 sub

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

haha, well thanks!

@thunderdome1982 7 лет назад

Hello again, I would like to add some info to the great video / description you have shared. The point is that reducing Sharpness is not the culprit of soft images in Mavic. It is low shutter speed. When shooting during night scenes, sunset, sunrise or even using an ND filter, shutter speed is forced to decrease. This fact makes mavic think "night is coming so let's activate our awful noise reduction". Fortunately, manually setting Sharpness to +1 avoids that bad decision. Anyway, believe me, you can film videos under good light conditions, with high shutter speed (1/500 s for instance or higher) and sharpening set to - 1, and your footage will look sharp and great. You should give it a try.

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

Thanks for the input, but I disagree. Shutter speed effects the image only when there is motion in the frame. These tests were done locked off with the drone not moving at all. To add to that, they were shot at a high shutter. The in camera noise reduction kicks into the shadows regardless of shutter speed and that's whats doing the damage that most see.

@thunderdome1982 7 лет назад

The thing is that I started having this soft image issue since I use nd filters (always shooting with - 1), never before. However, I completely rely on your experience and will consider it was just good luck. Thank you for the answer and keep on with these great videos.

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

A few others have mentioned that this seemed to have popped up on recent firmware updates. I'm not sure but that may be the reason.

@viperspd2 7 лет назад

LIke others, I followed the "pros" on youtube who recommended reducing sharpening to -2 or -3 in order to "reduce in camera artificial sharpening" for a more natural image sensor picture. I was surprised when my footage had strange softness in several areas of the depth of field focal plane versus my first flight with default settings. Then I saw BlueHouseFX's video and cranked UP the sharpness a tick to +1 and the footage looked ridiculously sharp, albeit a bit noisy with some subtle light flickering, which may be due more to video compression during capture, color profile, or light hitting the spinning blades; flickering shouldn't be due to exposure setting because i have set this and white balance to manual. I'll happily take the more noise over the random smears of artificial vaseline over parts of the image.

@DanSLewin 7 лет назад

I've been running a -1 sharpness because that's what a lot of people were recommending, but I noticed this issue mostly with tree shots. I thought it was because of the high compression of the 4K footage, but maybe this will fix it. Thanks for the info!

@dawsonboyle99 7 лет назад

Wow I never thought about adding noise reduction it actually makes the in camera sharpness look good! Most of the time I just set my sharpness to -3 and even then it looks too sharp but with your technique it looks larger sensor sharp thanks for the tip!

@dawsonboyle99 7 лет назад

Also I wish Dji would just take away in camera noise reduction.

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

Good to hear! After doing more tests I think that neat video is by far superior to everything else in taming the noise and over sharpness. If you're getting any flicker in the image then try it out.

@dawsonboyle99 7 лет назад

The Film Poets thanks!

@DesertRoosReizen 7 лет назад

What a great video! I was always wondering what it was!Finally you answered it! Thanks!

@wonderboy75 7 лет назад

I was a bit surprised when I saw the ugly noise reduction in my footage. I don't understand why they did't make noise reduction a separate feature from sharpening. I want it turned off! +1 sharpness seems to be the best setting for now. Maybe in a firmware update they will change it, because I found it confusing!

@MilesofBeard 7 лет назад

@extremefilm 7 лет назад

Thanks for this that was bugging me for sometime and I thought it was just a small camera darkness thing. As darker shots looked worse. I was wrong though. I'll get out and film some more.

Great video Matt! I was telling my friend that while I loved the mavic it was not a sharp as my p3, I will try this tomorrow.

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

Sweet. And just a note, if you're shooting at noon you really don't have to go 0 sharpening because everything will be exposed enough to avoid the in camera NR. This makes the most difference during golden hour.

@AOJOPhotography 7 лет назад

@coachlewis5190 7 лет назад

Great work Matt, I love your channel. I read that you are working on a "next steps to post process after shooting at +1 sharp, and compare 2.7k and 4k" vid. I hopeful that you would incorporate how to use Neat Video plugin and your profile as a part of that workflow session. I'm interested in purchasing your profile and Neat Video but want to make sure I'm using the everything correctly to get the expected result. Any update on when the next video is dropping :-) 😜

@DroneAdventuresEarthview 7 лет назад

Dude, your production is so nicely crafted. I can't tell you how impressed I am. That said, Neat Video is rather pricey for me, do you know if there is similar plugin or noise reduction ability in Blender?

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

I have two other recommendations in the description. Not sure about Blender though.

@DroneAdventuresEarthview 7 лет назад

Do you have any thoughts on output settings? codec and containers? Data Rate? Blender has a Bitrate setting then a minimum and maximum data rate. I have no idea about the buffer settings and packet size. I know you don't use Blender, but perhaps you have some thoughts on what is the best output codec and such. Thanks.

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

I want to help, but thats so far beyond the scope of YT comment I just cant. Also this is all google-able if you look for suggested upload settings for youtube. Hope that helps.

Heh, I used the suggested YT export settings...terrible. I could see it best on the back of my pitbull whose coloring is somewhat golden. You could see the pixelation clearly with the standard settings, but when I used H.264 container and a DIVX codec it cleared that right up. I feel like I have it right but was hoping you had some insight as it related to noise issue you broached here.

would you mind sharing the rest of your settings for both the image as well as the mechanical settings (i.e. gimbal)? thanks!

wow, thanks for the video, very nice! I just subscribed and can't wait to learn more from you.

This is super helpful thanks so much! I just wish I had watched it before I got the 30GB + of drone footage from my recent trip!

I'm guessing it all depends on which firmware version and which app you use. IIRC d-log was terrible in an older firmware, but better in the latest one. I'm still using an old firmware and the DJI Go app (not the Go4) and I don't see the sharpening issue, but will of course need to test it now.

I'd be curious to know. I've heard others mention that the sharpening settings seemed to have changed at some point in a March firmware update.

realy !!! in all other vids all saying to set it on -1 or some even -3 .. i hope this vid wil help me thanks for the info! thmbs up

@stilmotionpicture 7 лет назад

you're right! this has been talked about in the Facebook forum I'm currently following! Thanks for this! after the last 2 firmware update or when then introduced the new improved D-Log, I've started doing +1 on sharpening. I think your noise profile are expensive! are they hard to do?

@thefilmpoets 7 лет назад

Well, considering I spent about 10 days wrestling with this issue, a day making this video, plus another hour creating the profiles, I don't think $8 is too much, and neither do all of the folks who have bought it (thanks guys!) But yes you can make your own profile using neat videos charts on their website.

Wow. Such a simple thing yet such a screw up on DJI's part. Thanks so much for making this video, I will be telling all my friends with mavics as well. Just subscribed as well, looking forward to more drone cinematography vids, especially if they are anything like this vid! ;)

@josemtz4517 7 лет назад

I'm gonna test this out with my Phantom 3 Standard. Every thread I've read recommends -1, -1, -1, flat color profile. But I find too much noise in the simplest of things. I know the P3S is only 2.5K but still, I downsample to 1080p in post.

Great video! Do you have some tips to get it done on photos in Lightroom?

@MichaelTietzHamburg 7 лет назад

Thank you for this hint! I already was about to send the Mavic back!

@warren52nz 7 лет назад

Man I need to do a course in cinematography! So reducing the sharpness setting increases noise reduction? I guess that makes sense when I think about it. Mine's on -1, I'll change it to +1. Thanks.

Last week I changed all my settings hoping to have more control over the image and it wasn't until yesterday that I flew the drone. Seeing how incredibly soft the image was at 4K, was like being thrown a bucket of cold water over my head. Such a disappointment. I'm going to change the setting right now and see how much of a difference this makes for me.

@thesoulkeeper31 6 лет назад

I just tested changing the sharpness to +1 and the difference is day and night. So unfortunate DJI has this problem.

@thefilmpoets 6 лет назад

Glad you got it solved though!
