One of my first drone videos

Wow some quite brave flying there near the cliff and rocks!
I'd avoid the black fades apart from start and end - video 'convention' is that fade to black implies passing of a period of time.
Try to use a simple jump cut as much as possible or perhaps fade between scenes (cross dissolve) if you go to a completely different scene.
The audio seems to jump or something but might just be youtube and my slow-ish connection.

A jump cut really should be avoided unless you're aiming to jar your audience or making a Youtube vlog.

Ordinary cuts or crossfades work well.

My only comment is that the audio and video aren't synching - the fades aren't on the beat.

Agree with the black fade out's. They last too long IMHO. A simple transition would work for me (?)

But some very interesting views, probably not seen before from that perspective.

Like it.

As above, the black fades become too much and last too long. Maybe some cross fades, white dip (if you really must) or simply switch from one shot to the next with no transition.

Other than the transitions, nice footage there.
