[@IaninLondon]

So, a complete walk-thru of Timelapse, Hyperlapse, Free, Circle, Courselock and Waypoints.... A fair old bit of editing in this video and a long video result; here are the jump points: Circle: 6:28 Courselock: 7:27 Waypoints: 8:20 Cheers!

[@DroningaboutIreland]

Well hello stranger👋, been waiting on a video covering this, I'll watch it tonight as watching football now, good to see you back, thanks Ian 👍

[@noaharca1869]

Finally, an individual who can easily explain this process in an easy, clear and understandable fashion. Thank you so much for saving our time.

[@rickmelcher6845]

I've owned 3 diff dji drones...NO one has ever explained hyperlapse like you have. I've had no interest until seeing your tube. Thanks so much! I'm a subscriber for life now.

[@IaninLondon]

Cheers Rick 😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@garynorris4648]

Absolutely superb. DJI should be ashamed of not providing such detailed tutorials of their products.

[@shredgardener9231]

after all dji has done there's still an a-hole out there that's gonna whine and complain. smfh

[@AsherJamesPhotography]

I just wated to say, that two years later... this is still good info! I have bee searching Google all day on this topic and I finally came to this video... Thank you! It was driving me crazy not figuring out "waypoints" and how to get it to show on my app.

[@thomasgstohl2206]

Thanks for the great tutorial. What kind of software do you use for post-processing?

[@takeoff1999]

although this tutorial was produced 3 yrs ago, it's still the best i've ever seen, short and clear.. Thanks a lot Ian. And to top it, Teddy makes it even more interesting , lol

[@IaninLondon]

Glad it helped! I need to make an updated one! :)

[@Tyty74628]

I like the hyperlapse videos you made at the end! Not only can you save a flight path using waypoint for different times of the day, you can also save them for different seasons of the year! Brilliant!

[@freetommyrobinson]

Thanks for clearing those settings up for me Ian. Much appreciated 🙏 👌🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@WAMil76]

Recently got a Mavic Air 2 and have been looking for a solid Waypoints tutorial. Yours explained it far more clearly than the others I've seen. Thanks.

[@jerbear197]

Excellent Tutorial. Well explained. Just bought my first Drone. DJI Air 2s. I'll be trying that out this weekend. Thank you.

[@tomkaiser]

Well explained Ian, thank you. A few comments: - It absolutely pays off to have the photos saved as RAW and then do post-processing, even if you just shoot a single hyperlapse and not combine them as you did with this nice effect showing the roundabouts during the day and night. The results after post-production are so much better than what the drone software produces with regards to colour grading and ability to stabilize the footage. - Important to understand is also, WHEN to take hyperlapses. In my view it is not worth to spend 15min waiting for a 12 seconds video, if the outcome is not worth it. So that is way, you need to have moving objects in your scene, like the cars in the roundabout, clouds in the sky, ships on the lake, etc. - When doing hyperlapses during the day, it is essential to NOT use automatic video settings, but set the shutter speed to about 1/5 s to have that nice motion blur we all like. Keep producing those videos Ian and yes Ted is a lovely dog!

[@IaninLondon]

Thanks for the tips and good words 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CreatorDrews]

Learned something new with the Waypoint function, being able to capture the same hyperlapse over and over again! Thanks!!

[@crobilly19]

Wow, that's so cool of you to demonstrate the different types of Hyperlapse, thank you so much for your time, I hope you are doing well and made it through all the weird times....peace

[@IaninLondon]

Thanks! :)

[@aznkorboi]

been looking for a good hyperlapse video. thanks so much for this!

[@jfmayjr]

Wasn't very clear on how to go about using this hyperlap feature but after watching your video it's much clearer now. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video it really helped me! John

[@atcautoelec]

Hi Ian, thanks for this quite superb video. At 12.48 you say some people think it's too complicated, well after watching this video, a novice 66 year old digested and followed to the note and boom, so easy and a joy to put into use. Brilliant, well done mate!

[@IaninLondon]

Ah, that's great to hear! Glad you found it useful!! Ian

[@CharleyHansen]

Fantastic video. Too good to not like and comment on. Well done!

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial…..was trying to figure out how to use the Hyperlapse on the M3 and couldn’t make it work. Will try out your method.

[@bodywise007]

Really excellent. Clear and most instructive. Now I see why hyperlapse way points can be so creative.

[@IaninLondon]

Thanks again Philip. Ian

[@richiet6381]

Thank you so much Ian!!! I’ve learned quite a bit!!!!

[@dji1tommy29]

Ian your videos are rapidly becoming more polished and a joy to watch. I’ve watched quite a few videos on hyper lapses and still learned a bunch of things none else showed me. I had no idea that course lock could also use a spotlight mode like that, thanks so much for the great content.

[@IaninLondon]

Thanks for the good words! And yep, new camera, new mic, new laptop and finally using Premiere Pro.... :)

[@jaypoly]

Nicely done...so clear and concise. 👌

[@keironfisher]

I’ve watched a lot of tutorial videos, but your descriptions and explanations are by far the best. You explained everything very clear and made it very easy to understand. I’m very happy and impressed. Cheers for the video!

Wow, thank you very much for this video, you really explained a lot, straight to the point! Thumbs up!

[@fletcherbrown728]

Great tutorial!! I love the way you have so effectively integrated your controller screen recordings to clarify what your process was. I know that was a lot of work for you - but - so well worth it for me. Also, love the interjections of your little friend. Keep him in future videos. Thanks

[@IaninLondon]

Thank you; yes, a fair bit of editing on this one! Ted is a common feature :)

Very informative. Thank you for sharing !

[@kier42]

Great video! I’ve been watching a bunch of videos in the last couple of weeks and yours are my favorites! This was my third Hyperlapse video and nobody else explained it nearly as well, we’re all too serious about themselves and didn’t have a dog named Ted in the video. Keep up the great work!

[@IaninLondon]

Ted is the special difference...... :)

[@davidcubbin4900]

Thanks Ian - I'm going to try it around the coast here in NSW

[@AlanHunt73]

That last video clip in the dark looked amazing with the car lights. Nice job Ian 👏

[@kirbycollins3223]

Excellent Tutorial & It Seem like a Wonderful way To Capture Excellent Footage 👍

[@MrTottihunter]

Always learning new things from your videos, making it easy to understand. Thanks Ian 👌

[@SummerlinRealtor]

I just started playing with Timelapse. Your video is very helpful! Thanks! Just subscribed to your channel!

[@2009kronos]

Thanks Ian, very useful for a newcomer like me. A lot to take in so worth revisiting after trying out each mode of hyperlapse.

[@2009kronos]

Hi Ian. I'm using fly app v 1.4.0 (937 offical) with the Air2S and i can't seem to get the setting that allows me to save the individual RAW files that are taken during the hyperlapse recording and also my histogram seems to be a dark grey on a lighter grey so very hard to see? And ideas what I might be doing wrong please?

[@forestweston5055]

Very nice results, Ian! Thanks for the video.

[@leaveittobaker]

Thanks Ian. Always enjoy your tutorial videos.

Cheers fella!

Outstanding lesson...best explanation I’ve seen yet!

[@africanhistory]

Good that you do these advanced videos b/c most other channels go over the same basic things over and over again. How to get cinematic footage,. well if you been flying long enough there is enough content on that to kill a horse. What else can we do with drones. So keep it up! cheers

[@IaninLondon]

I'm open to more suggestions too 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@K1rTu5]

Thanks a lot, this really helps.. gave me a lot of ideas..

[@spasmpeter]

this is really good ian, luv my new air 2s, apart from the focus zoomed or cropped in on images is poor. but i will be playing waypoints this week one evening and these tips are brilliant cheers

[@terryshrives8322]

This was really helpful, thanks for taking the time to show this.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

This was a fantastic tutorial. I just got an Air 2S, so I’m guessing it will work the same way. Going to check it out today. Thank you!

[@joshuamendoza6942]

Did it work for Air 2S?

[@EagleEyes88881]

Great explained Ian 👍will try use waypoint soon...

[@flypic1098]

Nice results there Ian. Thanks. Jim

[@kathywestcott9742]

Great tips thanks for sharing

[@HiddenmesaTravel]

It would seem to me that, if I wanted to fly a hyperlapse that would span a time longer than one battery, all I would need to do would be to set up a route with several waypoints and fly my first battery for as long as I could. On the next battery, bring up the previous route and delete the waypoints I've already flown (saving at least one where I previously flew), and resume flying/recording. From there I would need to stitch the ends of the clips in the right places. I have no idea if this would work, but I'll give it a whirl next week when I'm out with the drone. Good tutorial. I enjoyed it.

[@Droneswayup]

Thank you so much I really appreciate this video you answered a lot of questions that I had.

[@h-dawg969]

For a quarter second exposure, rack 3 seconds etc, it’ll make it much smoother and flow into eachimage. You’ll need an ND in daytime though, maybe not at night but give it a go.

[@kevcdrone]

Great video as always Ian, thanks for taking the time. 👍🏻

[@Jonathantuba]

Thank you, very interesting. I will try this with my Air 2S

[@Franky_1974]

Hi. Great tutorial for the hyperlapses. But I got one question. If I want to repeat my saved hyperlapse, do I have to start my drone exactly at the same point as before? Or can I start from an other point and the drone flies automatically to the first waypoint? I hope zhis question is understandable.... (sorry for my bad English). Thanx

[@IaninLondon]

The drone will fly from any location to the first way point to start. It has a 2km limit to the start....

[@Franky_1974]

Wow! Really? That sounds great! I will try this the next days. Thanks a lot!

[@TheGroundBelow]

Nice one Ian, wind is reducing so might get up this weekend and give it a go! Great tutorial 👍🏼

[@ricardorey6477]

thanks a lot!!!!!!! great content and video

[@SkipWeeks]

Ian, thanks for putting this video together. It really explained the process well and I can't wait to try it out. The only question I had after watching it is, can I adjust the speed of transition between waypoints to ensure that the footage is smooth or is this simply automated so I don't have to worry about it looking jerky?

[@IaninLondon]

As I recall, you can slow things down with the Advanced Gain and Expo settings... Reduce the angular speed or yaw. I've done a video on that a couple of weeks ago 👍🏻

[@damodoesall6240]

I'm starting to go through all of this Ian in London's adventures other than in London, amazingly all have been rather impressive.

[@IaninLondon]

Yep; London isn't great for flying! :)

Which app do u use to edit

[@davey3765]

This video helped me out a LOT. The timelapse intervals with side by side comparison really gave me a good perspective on my shooting needs being new to the Mavic drones. Thanks... Now I wonder can you set waypoints but record as a video?
