Inspire 1 feedback

I quite like a lot of those shots, colour grading was a little too documentary for my liking, I'm more fond of brining in the oranges and blues for that cinematic look but other than that some good stuff! One of two shots saw some hard movement of direction at the start of the scenes which I'd have dropped but that is just me being as picky as a possibly can be with it.
Audio is subjective but for he most part fit. Nice job!

Thanks! I agree with the hard movements and that is something I am working on, I should really get a 2nd controller for the video side of it. Although I would have to 100% trust who is operating the other controller whether it be flying or video capture, flying for obvious reasons. I need to figure out how to colour grade, I am aware that it exists but don't really understand how to use it best. As for the audio it is provided copyright/royalty free by a youtube channel, this is the reason it is being used as not to get youtube copyright strikes and I need to find a music style that fits sweeping landscape shots. Thanks again for the feedback

It could be worth downloading davinci resolve 12.5. The basic version is just that, basic but should give you enough flexibility for the sort of things your doing. The basic version is free and does 4k! The paid for version is an industry standard for a reason and is hands down much better than anything Apple or adobe offer. Much faster and more fluid which with video is key!

I'll look into that! I was using Sony Vegas 12 but there's too much going on and I was getting distracted and a 3 minute 4k video was exporing at 66gb!! I have recently been using FCP but that is the opposite of vegas where as you are kind of limited with transitions and overlays. Thanks

I thought the full fat version just had a few extra sharing capabilities so that editing teams have a better ability to work remotely. I can't remember there actually being that much that's different when I had a look a while ago (downloaded it but I'm stuck using FCPX for the time being).

Hey! I am looking for some feedback on my 2016 Inspire 1 compilation. Thanks in advance.

I think you have some nice shots in the compilation - I loved the shot of the paddle boarders, the low shot over the sand at sunset and the train shot.

From a critical perspective, like Andrew mentioned, there are a few shots where the camera is jolting from one position to the next - bin them in the edit or cut to another shot then back again if you must but the compilation could have lost 20 secs in a few dodgy shots and it wouldn't be any worse for it, just filled with perfectly smooth shots instead.

I was waiting for the drone to fly through the rocks though - expensive to get wrong but what a shot if you'd pulled it off! - Next time maybe........

Also, I'd try and think about where you place the shots within the compilation to make more of a story if you can - such as, put the sunsets and night time shots at the end, maybe keep the in-land daytime shots all together and the coastal shot have them so that you keep the sea to the left (as in going somewhere) at the early edits and put the shots where the sea is to the right (as in you're coming back home again) towards the end. It's like you're showing the viewer that it's a little story of going out over the coast, seeing a few nice buildings, then coming home at the end of the day.

Some good pointers there, thanks! I did try several times at going through the hole in the rock, but bottled it at the last second. I wanted a smooth approach to the rock, through it and out, but I was around 30ft above the drone so had no perspective of where the drone was in terms of where the rock was. This and also an expensive mistake to make if it went wrong, led to me abandoning the attempt.
 
Nice. Although IMO some of the scenes look a little too washed out. For example, the first two shots look rather washy, but then the 3rd scene looks absolutely spot on. I can see clouds in shot 2, but also sky. I'd like to see the sky as blue as it is in shot 3. But like Andrew above, that is nit picking.
