DJI Mini 4 Pro Using WAYPOINTS for DAY to NIGHT Transitions

Rye, East Sussex Day To Night transition using the new waypoints functionality of the DJI Mini 4 Pro to produce a smooth transition using footage imported into Adobe Premiere Pro
East Sussex 2023 Stock Footage
Two waypoints flight around St. Mary's Church in Rye, East Sussex once during the day and again at dusk. I used the DJI Night Mode for this, but i have since found that D-LOGM produces less noisy results in a predominantly dark environment.

Love this! It looked like someone turned the daylight off! Perfectly transitioned! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@krzysztofskotnickiIT]

wow - very good! I will try this effect

[@AirViewChannel]

Well done nice effects 👍🏻

[@FrankMeierHOL]

Very inspiring video. A lot of work went into it. It clearly shows how waypoints and hyperlaps can be used. Super. I'd love to see more.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tetsuomotion]

1:02 That was spot on. I did waypoints + hyperlapse, but it was very windy. I'll try this again. Nice transition. How many points did you create for this?

[@georgehampton25]

Nice transition! Well done!

The thought just occurred to me while watching this piece.....that a third daybreak clip could be shot and spliced in at the end.....day to night and then the new day with daylight coming back.

My apologies for not responding. Maybe if I can drag myself from my bed... 😀

[@frednorman1]

Nicely done I was trying to figure out how you did the transition. So you had the waypoint course set up and then you flew your drone at night to the middle of the waypoints rather than start at waypoint 1. I’m going to try that.

[@clearairflying]

I flew the whole thing day and night so that I have plenty of footage to choose from. Also, do it more than once for each pass as the waypoints can drift a little so not always perspective accurate. More passes = more chances of matching up.

Did you use nightmare for night shots? I kept trying nightmode for waypoint mission but as soon as it started it reverted back to normal mode

[@clearairflying]

@@jfnuzum100 I had that exact same problem actually. I had to pause and change to nightmode. However, I always shoot HDR now as that appears to give better results. Make sure to turn the sharpness down to -2 though and the NR as well

El vídeo es muy bonito pero la música es muy triste 😢
