Thanks for watching my Mavic Air video on How to Shoot Slow Motion with different frame rates. Is very easy to change between 24-30fps, and 60fps, or even 120fps. Subscribe and comment below if you have any questions, i would like to see how everyone else is using these frame rates.

[@tiagomartins9362]

Hello, just watched your mavic air videos, you are talented and speak and explain very clearly! How about a video showing how do you do post produtcion? What editing software, how to speed up and slow down smoothly etc. Keep up the good work! Regards

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Tiago Martins thank you for the positive comment. I'll definitely dive into some editing work in the near future. Happy Flying!

[@Rob-dp3vr]

Jeff Greene hey Jeff, when recording in 120fps, what should my shutter and iso be set at? My last shot was way to bright with iso set as low as possible. It was bleached out. It was an overcast, partly sunny day. Thanks!

[@Vectorixx]

use ND-Filter

[@FSEVENMAN]

That's a good video I appreciate the tutorial I will say this it's important to note those are not just little legs to protect the gimbal, they are also receiving antennas so it's very important to extend them for every flight,

[@jpdunamislodge]

Cool shots brother! Thanks for all of the info. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ronnor58]

I have a Mavic air I have never flown yet, I'm a bit nervous to fly this expensive device being a total beginner. My wonderful companion bought it for me as a Christmas gift since I had shown interest in the hobby. Videos like these are invaluable to me as a learning tool. I appreciate you posting. I subbed, please keep them coming. That was a very informative video, thank you.

[@dallasstorey]

I would suggest going to an open field or similar, put the drone in beginner mode (thru the DJI app), and just practice flying up and down, landing, then move onto yaw etc. Forget fancy camera work until you can do basic flying. Good luck, have fun!

[@TwoFourCharlie007]

Excellent, that’s the best thing I’ve learnt today!

[@jimtwombly2109]

Enjoyed shooting footage of the family at the lake this summer with my Mavic Air. Since everything has quieted down I haven't been using my drone and as you get older the forget curve kicks in. Went back to your video on camera settings, using slow motion and just generally getting back into adjusting camera settings on the drone. Thanks for doing these clips Jeff.

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

You are very welcome Jim, glad you found this helpful.

[@raneroandres]

*Great video!*. I can't wait to use my Mavic Air again this weekend in the Snowy Mountains in Australia

[@LindseyHazel]

Haven’t added a drone into my kit yet but this was SO interesting to watch! I love how easy you made this tutorial! Really looking forward to your next videos!

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Lindsey Hazel cool I'm glad you found this interesting!

[@vinhha6073]

Been 2 months, flying 6 times, yes on my day off.. lol... basically today I learn some thing really good.... next fly at water fall I set slow motion ... oh my gosh ... it’s gonna be beautiful video... thank you much....

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Can't wait to see!

[@greg91_]

Hi mate, do you post anything on another platform just bought a second hand mavic air and found your vids reqlly easy to follow. Cheers

[@jimtwombly2109]

Jeff, enjoy your videos. Just bought a mavic air and realized that my photography course that I took in college as a gut course 55 years ago has changed quite a bit. I am amazed at what you can do with Final Cut Pro. I have just ordered at macbook pro to get into this hobby a little bit more in depth. Your exposure information on other clips will be very helpful.

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Jim Twombly awesome, excited for you! I really enjoy this hobby and am learning from all of you guys every day!

[@jaypooler9765]

I like the 1080 p 120 fps...the water fall the water has a softer slower feel......but the cars were slower...not so natural..but the flag was nice and the wind flow in the trees....great post thanks

[@n0w3lly90]

The legs also contain the aircraft antennas, Jeff... So if left horizontal, you have vertically polarised antennas in a horizontal position, as opposed to vertical and vertically polarised dipoles on your controller = massive dB signal loss at very short distance

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Thanks N0w3lly, that is a sneaky place to hide antennae. you are right though. It will fly, but not very far, or very well.

[@kaerachannel84]

Great tutorial 👍👍.

[@rapaent]

Another awesome video!! Thanks Jeff...... I'll give it a try. Ray 👍😊

[@amanpreetchhina10]

Hi, i am new to drones. i made a video by following ur instructions but when i played it on my phone it did not play as slow motion. please help

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

Great video, this covers what I needed to know. Flip down legs are the drone’s antennas, keep flipped down for flight.

[@gazmather1973]

just got the Air and your video's are fantastic, great information explained in a way this noob can understand.....Awesome Work!!

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Gary Mather awesome thank you sir. Excited for you!

[@progression_decibel]

Jeff thanks for posting your tutorials, this is going to be super helpful as I start using my Mavic Air soon. Slow motion photography (in general) has always alluded me. From your various tests, I do like the effect that 2.7K/60FPS and 1080P/120FPS give the best, with some subtle differences. For everyday video and still capture while flying the drone what's your go-to camera setting (SD card space no object)? Lastly a silly two part question - 1) Can you adjust the custom framerates, shutter speed, etc. for the Air while using the Quick Capture modes? and 2) I assume as one starts to master photography with the drone you basically can think of it as using the Camera modes to control how you want the SHOTS to record while you use the Cinematic/TapFly/Tripod/etc modes to control how you want the DRONE to operate whilst making those shots... sounds about right?

[@ricardourroz9322]

Good comparison. Of course you know the landing legs are antennas right? More than lifting the quad helps you get better reception

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Urroz Ricardo yes sir, i thought that was a clever place to hide them too. First time i forgot i couldn't figure out why the gimbal wouldn't works...ooops!

[@itsjjdue]

Hello, I recently bought mavic air and I'm confuse, why the pictures or footage in the screen while recording is different from the playback video? I just noticed that while you're recording the video on the screen is not that sharp. Thank you in advance :)

[@prince2thethrone]

thanks for making these videos!!!

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

prince2thethrone you are most welcome. Let me know what other videos you would like to see. Happy flying!

[@RandyBass]

I own a white Mavic Air and have never forgotten to put the legs down. Perhaps it's because they are white and easy to see? One simple idea may be to paint your legs a bright color, easy to see = easier to remember. Love your page BTW!!!!!!!!!!

[@dan2569]

Hey - do you still recommend this drone? I am going to buy my first drone. Good video by the way!

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Hi Dan, that is the millon dollar question. It depends on your needs. If portability is the key concern, the Mavic Air is awesome. I have had a great experience with the Mavic Air and would recommend over the Mavic Pro (1) b/c of the camera image quality. The question is when is DJI releasing their next drone (Mavic Pro 2). This was supposed to be announced on July 18, but has been pushed back. I also would definitely recommend the Mavic Air over the Spark. Tough call. If i knew the specs on the Mavic Pro 2, I would say hold out, b/c it will likely improve on the Mavic Pro(1) and the Mavic Air combined.

[@nz540im3]

This question is probably really stupid. But when you select 1080p 120fps is the default play back you get in slo mo, or is it just that In post when you slow it down you don’t lose detail?

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Not a stupid question at all. When you record at 120fps, you have basically recorded 4 times the number of frames as you would see normally. However once you put that video clip on your video editor or video player, it depends on what the editor/player is set up for by default. In Final Cut Pro X, it will just play "Normal 100%" speed, so you need to choose the "timer" tools and slow it down to say 25% in this case. That will give you that 120fps (or 25%) slo-mo. Conversely, if you shot at 24/30fps and tried to slow that down by 25%, your video would be noticeable choppy, becuase there are no frames to take out. I hope that makes sense.

[@Drostvideo]

Amazing shot..thanks for sharing how to shoot slow motion

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Thank you sir! I appreciate your feedback.

[@amanpreetchhina10]

Hi Jeff, i am new to drones, first of all thanks for the great video. please help me out, i have recorded on 1080 120fps and tried to play it . but it played on at the normal speed. but when i tried to edit it and slow it down in dji go app as i do not have any other editor at this stage, the video becomes very chopy. but when i recorded in 4k 30fps and slow it down in dji go app the results were much better then 120fps. i don't know what I am doing wrong, is it a editor or something else. please help. thanks

[@Foxtrotalex]

Wow amazing!! Looks super good I'm impressed. My Mavic Air is in the mail right now. Question. I'm shooting a wedding in about 2 weeks and am going to be cutting this with the 4K Sony A7's. Do you think the 1080 slow mo will up-res well enough? Thanks!

[@Foxtrotalex]

Ohh also, where'd you get the music? :)

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Hi Alex, yep should be fine. I am assuming the aerial clips will not be the focus since it is a wedding. I typically shoot in 4k and then down-res to 1080p and am happy with the quality. The music for all of my video for the past year or so have been from Epidemic Sound. Takes a bit to find what i was looking for, but then fairly easily to find "similar" artists/songs, etc. Check em out.

[@Foxtrotalex]

Awesome! Thanks for your quick reply!

[@jblake8293]

Good stuff Jeff thanks for posting very helpful! I also forget to put down the feet which by the way are the receiving and transmitting antenna for the aircraft.

Hi Jeff! Thanks for your informative videos! It helps me a lot! I have a question about an issue I have...when I have a movie and watching the result, the movie hits or goes very slowly, the movie stops and then it jumps to the next sequence...do you have a clue what’s going on? All the best to you, Cai

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Cai Bellander its possible that you have an older laptop that is struggling to play the much higher quality 4k video. Any issues playing normal youtube videos?

[@smartxtreme]

Jeff, thanks for such useful tutorials. Quick question about shooting in higher FPS with Mavic Air... I usually shoot footage with 60 fps (just in case I need to slow down in post) but the final result (after post) is "standard" 30 fps. I use ND/PL filters to get the cinematic blur effect. Now.... how do I go about shutter speed - should I achieve 120 (based of FOOTAGE fps x 2), or 60 (based of POST-RESULT fps x 2)?

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Yep, that's a good question. You will want to shoot with a shutter speed of 1/120 if you are recording at 60fps.

[@mfmxecal]

Hello there Sir Jeff, i just got my Mavic Air last week and yet to set the video and camera settings. For a novice, i need a setting which i can quickly upload and share my feats without the need to colour grading. Is there any suitable setting I can apply? 🙏

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

sure, i would check out this video at about 54 seconds in, and choose "normal" instead of "custom" - Video Style & Profile kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGqbgXyoa7WMf9U

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

BT Media yes i would recommend upgrading the fw. Ordered my mavic air on the first day and needed to do the same. I noticed some of the features were not there yet. Hope tgis helps.

[@snowalteceeee]

which firmware do you have? if you dont mind posting

[@beraberg]

If you shoot at 1080 with 120fps.. does the video record in slow motion?

[@DDMSteveB]

Solid video Nice work!

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Awesome! Thank you sir!

[@MrMario123ah]

Hei man good video. I have the same drone, but I have a problem with the video when I put the video on the laptop. The image is not clean,in my phone the same video is perfect, Mabe the vga of the laptop is too old.(when I shoot on 60fps and up) have you this problem?

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Mario ah, i have not noticed the same problem but my laptop is only about 1 year old. But just to clarify, I do the following: 1. Record the video on a removable micro sd card. 2. When viewing on my laptop, i either am using a micro sd card reader, or i am playing the file from an external hard drive. 60fps and up is definitely going to be a larger file compared to the 30fps files, so CPU limitation may be an issue. Should be ok though if you are able to edit in Final Cut Pro x and use proxy files.

[@beatbrun]

Thanks Jeff great video

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

beatsamsung thank you!

[@andykw3283]

so, use the tripod mode, then take it slowly, and combine edit fews video shot wtih different pixel and frame speed, just like that??

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Yep, tripod mode is super helpful to keep shots smooth using any frame rate. Then i just mix it up a bit in post using speed ramping in Final Cut Pro X.

[@andykw3283]

well thank you :)

[@woody1380]

Thanks for the video. Question. If some of the video is at 1080 and therefore I guess the final edit will be output at 1080 why not shoot the whole thing at 1080 and just change the frame rate rather than having some in 4k and some in 2.5k etc

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Woody, that's a good question. I have been in the habit of shooting in 4k when possible and then down-res to 1080p for uploading to KZbin. With the 4k source, can crop in quite a bit without losing quality if the final video is going to be at 1080. Aside from that, i don't think it matters that much when the bulk of the content is viewed on small laptops/tablets/smartphones.

[@woody1380]

+Jeff Greene Thanks. I get the cropping from 4k as an option

[@alexanderlee7500]

How did u do the speed ramping recording? Is it after post?

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Alexander Lee thanks for the comment. Yes, i do the speed ramping in post using Final Cut Pro X. I'll try and remember to add this to my next video as quite a few subscribers have been asking about how this is done. Cheers!

[@ggcyclonerc2708]

So if you change the frame rate,it actually slows down the actual footage?Sorry newbee here

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

What's up Boss! Nope it just records more data in the same amount time. So when you take your footage and put it into a video editor for eventual upload to KZbin, the default frame rate is going to be something like 30fps. So, when you record at 60fps(kind of slow), or 120fps(really slow-mo), you are able to play all of this data on a 30fps video on KZbin giving a slow motion effect with lots of detail.

[@ggcyclonerc2708]

Jeff Greene Thank you sir👍🏼

[@HeedyeKoren]

Hey Jeff, cool vid you made. Recently I recorded in daylight 120 ftp and the quality was shockingly bad- resolutionwise, in comparition to 50 fps it was unmatchable. I sent the video to dji, they said it's fine- I assumed this recording option is simply useless, but your vid proofs it wrong. I would be happy to know your oppinion about it, and how to better slow mo record!

[@rayazankhan3101]

Which setting is more good for a video recording not slow motion sir ? And one more question if m.air can shoot 120fps thn why they mention 60fps is a title ?

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Jamal Khan that is the million dollar question. Either 24fps or 30fps. The important thing is to try and get your shutter speed set to 2x your frame rate. So shutter would be 1/50 or 1/60 for normal recording. If it is too bright, this is where the ND filters will help. Cheers!

[@mrjeffmissemily2428]

Ok, great tutorial, but how do you kill the drone sound and only get the fountain. I have the Mavic Air, and I know that sucker is loud

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Jeffrey, i think you'll need some post editing trickery. I don't have any drone sound on the Mavic Air. I don't believe it records audio. But, after you are done flying you could use a smartphone/camera and record upclose to the fountain to get the sound of the water, and just add it in post edit. Or likely there will be a water fountain sound effect if using FCPx or After Effects. FYI, in FCPx you can "detach audio" by right clicking on a video clip to remove the sound. Hope this helps.

[@JoshChappell]

I'm curious...what program did you use to record your phone screen? Also Nice Video BTW.

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Josh Chappell thank you. I am using az screen recorder for Android.

[@QualityVideoService]

How ND filter did you use?

[@JPMongeS]

Hey man!. Thanks for the video!. Quick question: today I recorded a couple of videos 1080/120fps, however, when I opened them on Premiere it says 30fps for all. I double checked and everything is set to 120fps; any idea?

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Yes sir, all good.... So the 120fps is your recorded speed, and Premiere is likely set to a default playback speed of 30fps....I use Final Cut Pro(but Premiere should be similar), where there should be something like a "right click" on the clip once you add it to your timeline, to play back at automatic speed or normal speed. There may also be a "re-time" tool in premiere to play back at 25% as well. Hope that helps.

[@JPMongeS]

@@JeffGreeneChannel Thanks a lot for your quick response!, I will try that!. Keep it up brother!

[@vince3ang]

How to perform speed ramping? Is it set by the mavic itself?

[@KimAswani]

I have a problem with my mavic air. Please help. When I shoot in 4K with 30fps when I import the videos all the footage is in slow motion. How can I get normal footage in 4K. I am so excited but now frustrated as I tried everything but all my footage is in slow motion. Please help. Please advise how to adjust settings to shoot in 4K in normal mode. Please help.

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Hi Kim Aswani, so 30fps recording should be normal. Make sure it is not set for 60fps. What software are you importing into for playback? Also, make sure the editing software is playing back at 100%. Let me know.

[@KimAswani]

I am only importing it directly and not into any editing software. But all my video recordings are coming out in slow motion when I watch them. What is the best video settings to use for good quality footage. Thank you so much for your quick reply. Also tell me if there is any way to do a factory default settings on the mavic air so that it all goes back to the default settings. When I sold my spark and opted for the mavic air....I was so excited.....now I am so disappointed as I have been flying for 2 days and all my footage is in slow motion. Maybe I will have to go back to shoot at 1080 p with 30frames and see. I am off for a vacation in less than 12 hours and I hope I can get some answers to solve my problem. Please help.

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Kim Aswani try 1080p at 30fps and do a quick recording test to see. Is it possible that your laptop/pc is too slow to process the 4k footage?

[@KimAswani]

Yes maybe my laptop is not being able to support it as I get a lot of ghost images and freeze frames when I try watching it. Does the memory card speed or type makes a difference in video recording. Thanks again for your prompt reply and advise. Will try at 1080 p with 30fps and keep u posted. Thanks

[@torotaxi1]

You need an SD-XC memory card to record 4k footage. SD-HC won't work

[@KrisAdamsTV]

Another great tip is if you are editing at 24p, you can shoot at 30p and slow that down by 10% to give it the cinematic slow. It seems real-speed to the naked eye, but somehow dreamy.

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Thanks Kris!

[@droneascent]

Dear Jeff Greene, I am about to get my very own Mavic Air in a few days time, one of the first few things I want to try ( when I master my flying ) is slow motion video, I'm definitely going with 1080p with 120 FPS after looking at your video. That gives me the effect that I want, however I have one question, I understand the tripod mode itself gives a slow smooth feeling when we move the camera / gimbal, so whenever I want to shoot slow motion video, for the best effect, do I always shoot 1080P 120 FPS in Tripod Mode ? Would really appreciate your reply, thank you !

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Hi Isaac, excited for you! Tripod mode is not required as the gimbal help keep movement smooth. However I use tripod when I am real close to objects to keep from going to fast past my subject. 120fps looks better in this situation instead of a high altitude landscape shot in my opinion. Have fun!

[@droneascent]

@@JeffGreeneChannel I see ! So based on what you said. Basically I should only use Tripod Mode if I'm in a tight space, tight situation and I want to fly through them slowly and smoothly, only then do I use Tripod Mode with 1080P 120 FPS ? And other than that, if I want to shoot in slow motion for any other situation, all I need is just use Normal Mode and 1080P 120 FPS ? Would that be correct ?

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

@@droneascent yes sir you got it.

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

@@droneascent you got it, that is correct.

@@JeffGreeneChannel Thank you very much, also just a quick question, I understand that using Cinematic Mode slower down the response of the drone movement, and it's also a good mode to shoot a cinematic feel, so if I'm shooting wide landscape, or basically just anything from the air, is it advisable to always use Cinematic Mode 90% of the time ?

[@nghiapham4310]

what kind or sd card for 4k record ? thanks for good video

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Hi Nghia, I use this memory card on all of my cameras: amzn.to/2z1dcuH

[@jarka1361]

How do you do speed ramping? I’m new with this drone.

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Hi jarka1361, great question. This is very simple to learn the technique depending on what software you are using. Made this just for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpXXkoqwbMylqrs Happy Flying!

[@goodtimes474]

does this record like this in 1080 120 or are you doing something to edit this.

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Yep, you got it exactly. The mavic air can record in 1080p at 120fps.

[@CostaReall]

I don't understand how the shutter works for video, coming from photography background

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Hi Alexander, i know what you mean. Jump to 02:25 on this video, where i try to briefly explain. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGqbgXyoa7WMf9U thanks for the comment.

Was speed ramping done in editor or drone.

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Hi Gerald, the speed ramping was done in editing. Here's the quick and easy way i do it in FCP x: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpXXkoqwbMylqrs Most editors should be similar.

[@chackspinoyfishingTV]

How you do speed ramping

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Hi Chack, piece of cake, here's how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpXXkoqwbMylqrs

[@BDrones]

Is it true the Mavic air is made of really cheap plastic and that it is really not stable and wins over 10 miles an hour seems to be what everybody is saying not sure want to get it

[@JeffGreeneChannel]

Brian Celetti the mavic is made of the same plastic as any other phantom or mavic pro. No issues for me flying in winds 20+ mph.

[@timothyyarbro6014]

Hey Jeff can you please contact me to give me some more In Depth helpful hints with my Mavic Air

Your 1080p 120fps looks like upscaled 720p for sure
