[@guitarmovies]

I'm just here to say how awesome the thumbnail for this video is.

[@DjemoGraphic]

Simple solution. Tried this on my GoPro before, while it was windy. Good to try out now with the drone. Thanks Jeven!😊

[@edc4fun]

That voice iso is pretty slick!

[@twolovelypeople-lv]

You are the top man from the beginning to this day, always pleasure to watch, listen, enjoy and learn.

[@ALTN8NRG]

Excellent tutorial! Impressed. I never knew the technical details of obtaining clean sound.

[@Quebecmedic0750]

Thanks for the advice, great video keep them coming

[@WWPTV]

I like that Voice isolation. That was neat. We shoot Air S and S2's but our Camcorder is bonded through our Sling Studio that we connect with the Android controller.

[@EngiTrek]

So freaking cool! Thanks for sharing! The possibilities are endless with this!

[@connormccaskill]

SO great bro. Love that new voice isolation feature!

[@EarWormSound]

It's good to also add some "BGs" or ambient sound, like light wind, birds, air etc... It really helps fill the stereo field. This is what I do on movies.

[@createelement27]

The simplest way to sync audio love it

[@ReviewsAndHowTos]

Fantastic vid. This is exactly what I do!

[@DIAN_RANA]

wow thank you

[@jacquelinesales721]

This is extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@GregInEastTennessee]

Wonderful! That's exactly what I've been wanting to do! When I can get out and fly my drone (Air 2), I'll be back with lots of questions! I just ordered the mic. Happy Holidays and thanks again! 😀

[@Slogdawg]

Excellent! Thanks, Jeven!

[@TheKoeko]

Thanks. Thats i wanted for my MV.

[@GoTravelPlanet]

Great video Jeven, thanks

[@AverageGuyMakingMoney]

Good info. May have to do this in the future.

[@BrokenArrowBison]

Good info. Thank you!

[@orenmisaki]

Now I know why they are clapping.. tq for the explaination.. lots of love from Malaysia.. ❤

[@EricKristyAdventures]

Wow that was great tips! TY

[@KrisLuckPhoto]

great vid as usual!

[@EllizMotoVlog]

Thanks for the wisdom brother

[@Droneswayup]

Thanks for the info the clapping with the hands is useful. I have a DJI mic but I never use it.

[@CEODeliveryBoy]

Awesome stuff. Thank you.

[@RonaldBrown59]

Great information, and thanks for sharing.

[@jiunjiunma]

Wow, what a useful tip! Thank you.

[@eamonshields2754]

Awesome stuff

[@edgardbmedia]

Amazing tip.. Thank You

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

Great Tips!! Thank you.

[@drgopinaath]

Cool video Jeven. What other external voice recording options are available in the market? Thanks

[@AKCHINAEXPLORER]

Beautiful video thank you very much....

[@epytaffskitchenstink]

I use dog clickers, creates a sharp sound really easy to see on the timeline. I regularly sync up 4-6 go pros. I use Izotope to remove sounds like air cond or fridge or car sounds. works great.

[@tabadrone]

Thank you to let us know your methods. Good information. LIKE bottom pressed. I SUBSCRIBED here from Brazil.

[@michaelpoczynek]

Good info, Jeven. Thanks.

[@AdoRec]

Thanks for making nice videos.

[@TerrelDTerrell]

Excellent!

[@ahammad786]

Wow amazing video thanks so much.

[@sambantiles2569]

Beautiful view

[@chadgilmore5046]

Great video Jeven I have tried using the smart controller and it sucks defiantly getting this👍

[@rickgyoung-connection]

Thank you!

[@syrompicturez2917]

Fantastic. I learned something new

[@MarkusSenior]

Neat little trick. Thanks for sharing. Some record it via the USB-C port of the controller/screen recording... but you are right, why going through that hassle, when you can just record it directly to the latest wireless mic systems themselves 🙂 Cheers from LA.

[@jon112media]

I a little busy to sit and watch rn but I have to comment that I looove how ridiculously great the thumbnail is 👌🏽📸💯💯💯

[@jamesiiichildofGod]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏼God Bless You🌤🕊💨💨💨

[@Stephy_Lau]

You are always the best ❣️

[@EspenJohan]

Excellent video👍👍

[@ThirdCoastGardening]

That’s exactly what I do. Sometimes I use two cameras, so I clap to match up the two tracks.

[@pintocreations]

Nice and super solution , I need to get that mic now

[@Samlol23_drrich]

Thank you. That was very helpful.

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Samlol23_drrich]

​@@JevenDoveyat approx 1:50 you cut to a screen capture clip. Can i ask you how you boost the quality to make it look like your drone footage? I don't see anywhere to change the resolution in my rc2. The screen capture resolution is pretty low. Any tricks? Do you upscale the clip? Thanks if you choose to respond (which I'm hopeful you will!)

[@alexwildfree2]

Amazing Topic :O !

[@TukangUlin84]

This is Amazing 👍

[@stormarteria5553]

Thanks for those nice Tips :) Where do you have your Backpack from? It looks useful

[@martinambler3774]

Thanks for the info. Going to go out now with Lark mic 😳

[@trueindian2525]

Awesome video. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@zsoltpinter6955]

Looking at the thumbnail I was like WTF :D I must see it. Good work Jeven and awesome tutorial as always.

[@HermitCrabLife]

It's very useful way! now I want DJI Mic more.

[@paginini]

Thanks

[@Freedom20244]

Nice info

[@mannythehunter]

Have to experiment with this. I have been using my phone with a plug in lapel mic. There are lots of apps that will continue to record sound.

[@Serendipity5129]

Great video, thank-you. Just one question.... What flew over you at 3.30min!!! 🛸👽😃

[@CarlChiRealty]

This is exactly what I'm looking for? Did you record the close up shots with a drone? Thinking of get a drone for real estate video if that is possible.

[@belovedLion80]

briliant

[@arudolphwiseproduction]

Thanks man, been watching a lot of your content. I was wondering about the dji mic. Heard a lot of mixed reviews

[@JevenDovey]

I use it for every video now. Works great

[@saulvazquez7548]

@@JevenDovey which one is it? I seen two different ones I believe, thanks

[@AleSalvino]

Jeven as always super useful video! Do you manually sync or use something like Pluraleyes to sync automatically?

[@JevenDovey]

Can't use Pluraleyes because theres no audio on the drone. Have to do it manually

[@AleSalvino]

@@JevenDovey understood, thanks again!

[@brentspotswood]

That thumbnail got a pretty good laugh outta me 😆

[@antoinecaron16]

Thank's for this amazing video ! Still one question, what's the name of the voice isolation plug in ? 🙏

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

It’s built into FCPX not a separate plug in. If you update FCPX it should be available under audio > Audio Enhancements and it’s just called Voice Isolation.

[@SannevanSchie]

Thanks for this explanation, I was just looking for that. Can you also use two of those DJI mics, like if you want to film an interview?

[@JevenDovey]

Yes

[@josuequinonez9362]

Can you show us what you did as far as setting up the mic what to look for in the controller or phone??

[@cookwithevevoon2518]

What a fantastic video with tips on how to record when you are flying the drone. I love drones. One can photograph beautiful sceneries.🤩😍

[@SRelectengineer]

That's right Jovey, clap with your hand when you recording audio in order you can put together both audio on the time line on your video editing software. Also, if you use the right click on you time-line in Adobe Pro, the same software will align both audio automatically.

[@JevenDovey]

There is no audio on the drone so this won’t work. You need to match the visual to the audio clap

[@mekkari007]

I love the thumbnail.

[@AJCoReTV]

how do you join the audio clip to the video clip? like in the example....in FCP? like when its coupled up underneath the video clips in timeline.

[@Coholbell15]

Dude I love your bad where do I get one from?

[@champagneproblems2602]

Lots of great info maybe im just dumb but if my phones being used by the drone I have the mini 3 how can I get the mic to plug into my phone?

[@sertman3333]

First, thanks for the video. I have a question because of the video/ audio editing/cut. Which is the simplest/ cheapest way to edit a video like you did in this video? It doesn’t have to have many features, just a program where I can edit my drone footage.

[@smite5135]

1:13 Using the DJI microphone as a standalone recorder how many DB are you raising the volume in post and what parameters on the DJI microphone did you tweak?

[@darkcat104]

Wow learnt something new at 43

[@agosto81977]

There is no link to the video you mentioned at the end.

[@JoarABTheflyingraven]

I have the wl go2. when I did this the sound got more and mor mismatched during the clip. what settings do I do wrong? its like the video plays faster than the sound.

[@Atsf1976]

This would only work in terms of you speaking, correct? I like to take drone videos with my mini 2, but would this work because I would think that I would have to mount a cardioid microphone on the underside of the mini 2 to get audio?

[@Xll148]

I can’t find the info anywhere. Does the DJI Mic record lossless audio and do you recommend the voice memos app on iPhone to record lossless audio if you have two iPhones capable of recording lossless audio using the Voice memos app?

[@axxxeliv]

What app do you use for editing? Your videos are so helpful!!!

[@JevenDovey]

Final Cut Pro. Here's my tutorial on how to use it: geni.us/dkNlQnp

[@adriandelarosa1]

Yes but how I can recor audio in mavic 3 becasu i see in my videos only record the video my mavic 3 I don’t now how to set up for record audio en video in same time like regular camera

[@BradSmithSC]

Can you position the drone lower + farther away + zoomed in to get a more dramatic parallax shot? Wind gusts might ruin that unless stabilization could overcome the shakyness. This might also be geo restricted such as on top of a ridge with low growing brush.

[@JevenDovey]

Yeah. You can use a zoom feature on the drone and get that kind of shot. Less wind the better because it will make any bump more noticeable

[@khanigrilFitnessFlick]

Dji mic 2 is good for dji 4 pro

[@EZETechnRC]

This is awesome!! But.... it looks weird for the drone to be soo far back and the audio seems like front and center .... is there any way to bring the audio back a little bit so the sound seems like you're farther away ??

[@JevenDovey]

You can play with your eq and volume to change the feeling of it.

[@1wylosuavez1]

Izotope RX for reduce the background noise

[@leroyjoseph8070]

How do u get that clear audio with out wind noise with that mic? Can you explain . Thank you in advance..

[@TheWoodenRider]

Nice video, thanks for sharing I think you forgot the last link or the end screen as we don't see the link to your next video ;-)

[@JevenDovey]

Thanks its added

[@KorokuGaming]

I'd love to see a video on backpacks for the type of combo hiking/filming that you do! I am lost right now, trying to find a large backpack that is easy to use for camera gear, can hold a 15-16 inch laptop & is comfortable enough and durable enough to take up hills or hike with all day.

[@JevenDovey]

The Shimoda Backpacks are the best: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3TCk42sntNqf8k

[@KorokuGaming]

@@JevenDovey I think you might be right, I now have my eye on the 35 litre... Expensive, but worth the price to me as it seems ideal, I'll start saving. Thanks for the reply!

[@oldschoolgaming4763]

Is there an effect like the background sound cancellation in Premiere Pro as well? To what source do you record from the DJI mic to?

[@edgardbmedia]

You can use the Denoiser effect to get rid off background noise

[@JevenDovey]

This is a specific tool in FCP but I'm sure theres ways to do it in Premiere.

[@arawgabi622]

nice place to do the video. where is it?

[@vansagainstpredators]

How do I take away the home screen when I'm recording sound and vide? I recently bought a wireless mic for myself that connects to the RC pro. I don't know how to take off the home screen recording or do I have to edit that.

[@linc_xd6973]

How do you find these places

[@samSam-mq9gp]

What is the drone you are shooting with

[@gospyder]

The thumbnail peeked my interest lol

[@seewind]

Good video - Question - more holy Grail for me - How to capture audio FROM the drone? Example - flying over waves, flying over forest with birds singing, bells ringing from a tower, all sounds sources that are not close to you but are close to the drone. Thinking of trying suspending a very small audio recorder from the drone on a string to capture audio plus noise cancellation for the prop noise. Bottom line, add real time sounds to drone video and eliminate the canned music. Thoughts? Ideas? Collaborate on a project?

[@AudioJanitor]

The props would overpower any usable audio even with NC on.

[@seewind]

@@AudioJanitor Think long string....

[@AudioJanitor]

@@seewind Do it and ping me back. Better off with a 50ft+ painters pole :)

[@latvijanin-viktormat]

Propeller noise sounds like THE NOISE 😶

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

I think most drone footage that features environmental sounds, are actually sound effects … if chosen well, they can match the footage well.
