Excellent video, a question, when i film in 4K 60FPS and try to edit the video, the playback/preview is very laggy, so i can´t even edit it, but if i film in only 30FPS it works fine to edit and playback.

[@danavainsteina3923]

Suggestion I came across on another video is to switch to H.264 instead H.265 when filming on your drone as the latter former uses more power on your computer

Hi Matthew! I discovered your chanel a feew weeks ago, and I have learned som much form you already. Thank you so much for sharing these highly educational tutorials! I uploaded my very first drone video yesterday - filmed with my brand new DJI Mini 3 Pro. I wonder - in this video you recommend reducing the sharpnes to get the most cinematic experience in the videos. Will this reduction also affect the sharpnes in photos, or is it only affecting video?

[@shsechas]

Always great tips anyone can use. Thanks Mattheww!

[@bluegrassdroneguy3495]

Awesome tutorial

[@dgibbsfl]

I noticed on this video that you hand launched by pushing the throttle stick up and that left me with a few questions: 1. How did you start the motors just having one hand holding the RC? 2. How does this launching technique come into play with RTH landing accuracy later? 3. If you hand launch, do you automatically hand catch and if so, do you leave the obstacle avoidance on or off for the landing?

Matt, if you had to buy just one single ND filter, which would you get?

[@motorroamingaround]

Hi Matthew I’ve been watching your videos for some time now and your tips are absolutely brilliant. I’m just about to order a DJI Mini 3 Pro direct from DJI. Any recommendations would be very welcome. Should I buy the fly more kit? Should I add SD cards? What filters should I buy? Etc etc

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you. I highly recommend the fly more kit - the additional batteries allow for much longer flight time. Micro SD card is also recommended. I would get a 128gb card so that you have plenty of space. Hope that helps!

[@motorroamingaround]

@@TheDroneCreative Thanks Matthew that's very much appreciated.

[@gbh1946]

Again very good Matthew thankyou. Do you bother with exposure compensation while shooting in snow? with a normal say DSLR camera, the white snow usually underexposes the scene because the sensor sees bright white and compensates. I normally give it an extra stop of exposure which usually solves the problem. However this may not be a problem shooting video?

[@joseortiz-sr4jl]

I have been watching your videos and I can say that I have learned some tricks and how to use the dji mini 3 pro.

[@romo8547]

I think that you could improve your videos even further by including some subtle transitions. I always find a hard cut between scenes is a bit jarring. It is much easier on the eye if there is a (very) short transition between scenes. I use a simple fade and stay away from all the gimmicks. A fade of somewhere around .2-.3 seconds works for me. It just makes the result smoother, and smoothnesses is king. Keep up the good work. Your videos are always very watchable, useful, informative and mercifully, devoid of silliness

Hi Matt 🤙🏼 How do u edit your videos ? What programs ? I see your sound editing program . It’s great. But how do you dry videos . I use iMovies but it’s kinda limited

[@TheDroneCreative]

Hey! I use Adobe Premiere Pro and InShot if editing on the mobile. Hope that helps!

[@grumpyclark]

Excellent Mattheww, thank you. This is brilliant - probably one of the best tuitions you have done :) Yesterday - I, made the mistake of re-centering the DJI Mini 3 Pro whilst in flight and it looked rubbish so I ended up having to edit the video by splicing it and putting a transition in! Short, different clips, mixing it up is something I am practicing and I am learning so much from you. I also use epidemicsound, it's brilliant. So many useful tips! Snow in NI too!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Happy my videos are providing value for you! Smooth movement, and short clips with variations of angles are two great ways to create good sequences. Snow helps too, ha!

[@lonceysbusiness333]

Cheers so much that first clip was epic! I find a still camera boring and still prefer the drone or any camera to be moving along with the subject too

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you! I recommend and use Adobe Premiere Pro and InShot if editing on the mobile. Hope that helps!

[@AZGeek520]

Thanks for the tips. For your first tip on smooth motion I would add a tip to record past your desired scene. What sucks almost as much as jerky camera movements is getting home to realize that you cut the flight segment too short and missed an opportunity for a more dramatic scene. Better to record a bit beyond your scene and not use that extra footage than to be left with wanting more.

[@TheDroneCreative]

This is actually a fantastic tip. I agree. It also allows you to cut out the best and smoothest part of a clip and still have enough to use in a sequence. Thanks for sharing!

[@Mark-md9ds]

Hi Mathew, markymark here lol. Hope ur ok and have been enjoying this cold weather lol. Thanks again for all the videos which are all of benefit. Can I ask u why is it that when I go to download to trim my videos that it only gives me the option to upload in 720p or 1080p? I am definitely recording in 4k btw. Thanks and keep up the excellent work and time and effort yr putting into all of ur videos.cheets Mathew

[@WiljanWiljan]

Excellent tips, Thank you!! What if you use the mastershot function, but take the total length (so the originals) and use them in your editing software.

[@TheDroneCreative]

This is a great idea. They could also be used alongside your own manual drone moves to create a sequence!

[@OnlyanOpinion]

Great video, I’m binge watching all your content before I start flying 😊 I’m interested in trying out the sharpness reduction setting for more cinematic footage as mentioned. I’m just curious, does it affect file size of the footage? I just f hire if it’s less sharp it will carry less details. Thanks in advance.

[@LateBloomerMedia]

From what I just researched, it will carry less detail. I was hoping he would explain more about the sharpness but regardless I still appreciate the tip as I didn't even know that was a thing and now am able to look more into it. Or maybe he has another video that goes more into detail about it. He did say something about having such for the noise reduction feature! Would be cool if he mentioned a link for that! Lol

Hey Matthew great video ! Would love if you did a video on Epidemic Sound how it works and how to import it into your video software ..... unless you have done this already ? then please point me to that direction 🤩

Hey, that’s great taking short videos but how do you put all those videos into one? How about making a video on how to do that?

[@PaulTomblin]

I'm surprised how well the changes work without transitions. I guess that goes back to your advice to make sure they're very different from each other. I normally put transitions at every cut, but I'm going to try it your way.

[@Quokka57]

Love your work. Here's one that may or may not have been covered by now. What 4k video editing software do you use. I have a Lifetime Membership with AVS Video Editor - and I've really enjoyed it so far. It handles 1080p no probs. The newer versions support 4k - but man, a 5 min clip at 4k takes an age to load into the editor - and then it locks and farts around "caching" and stuff. I can't handle it anymore. If you could suggest some simple to use 4k editing software that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, it would be interesting to hear any recommendations. I'm using Win 10 with a semi-decent middle of the road graphics card. A couple of hundred bucks Software to fit the bill would be ideal. Ongoing subscriptions - Neh. I don't have the perpetual money-tree printer that they seem to think all of us have 😎

[@chrisrobinson1185]

What editing software do you recommend for combining the clips together like you have done in the video?

I use and recommend Adobe Premiere Pro and CapCut for the mobile!

Hi, fantastic channel. I've just purchased the dji mini 3. I have a youtube channel. I'm a a disabled wheelchair bound photographer and videographer. I was wondering if you could help please. How do I edit the clips? Do I need a LUT? Or just insert into timeliness and no editing needed. I have also bought some ND filters. Thanks in advance

[@danhough242]

Not sure if you have covered this in another video as im still working through them. Why 4k 30 and not 4k 60?

Hey Daniel, good question. Dual Native ISO which provides higher dynamic range on the Mini 3 Pro only works at 30fps and lower, so that is why I use 30fps. Hope that helps!

Hi Stephen. I don't unfortunately - might be something I need to look into doing!

[@Celicreativellc]

Hey Matt, your videos have been extremely helpful in learning everything there is to know about my Mini Pro 3. Quick question... in a prior video, you stated to keep the sharpness and noise reduction set to the default at zero. In this one, you're saying to reduce the sharpness to -2. Since this is a newer video, is it safe to assume that you now prefer -2 over 0? Also, at the time of filming your last video, Expo tuning was not available for Cine mode. Did you ever make another video on that topic, or can you tell me what I should make those 3 settings? Thanks in advance.
