THE DEFINITIVE GYROFLOW TUTORIAL

Since I posted my original video covering gyroflow, I've had tons of requests for a full length, in depth tutorial on how to use gyroflow, so I wanted to put together a full video properly researched on how to use the new software! Hope that this is helpful, and please consider using the comments section as a Q and A area and hopefully we can get your questions answered!

That's really impressive, these guys definitely need serious donations. The FPV Gods forever bless the Open Source community, these guys have been giving so much to the RC Hobby

[@gjpfpv5645]

Just used gyroflow for the first time. This content has made the process possible for me to understand what does what and how to use my gyro data and video together. You're the man. Added a lens profile for my ancient history gopro hero4 session to help support the peeps 😀 👍 lol now my old skool session cam has stabilisation ☺️ 👍👌✌️

[@tommcmannfilms]

This was immensely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

this was very useful, I feel confident diving in. As an online marketer I wanted Gyroflow to know I heard first about them from Nurk, forgot the name of the software when I needed it and came back to the channel to refresh my memory. Thx Nurk

[@WavyHertZFPV]

Really good and complete tutorial ! Thank you and also many thanks to the developers !

[@TuxedoFPV]

This was incredibly helpful and thorough, thank you so much!

[@stevefines1887]

Great video. This helped me a lot to understand what I needed to do for trouble shooting. One thing on the UI - on the upper left of the frame that contains the gyro and optical flow data are the letters "x,y,z" oriented vertically. These are for the gyro data. The ones on the upper right of the frame are for the generated optical flow data. When trying to correct a sync problem I've found it much easier to toggle off the ones I don't need. As well if you are trying to figure out the orientation for a data logger that is in a non-standard orientation this can help to simplify the channels and see what you are looking at.

[@wilmesz1992]

Thank you very much for this tutorial, I had figured some of this out already by messing around and reading documentation, but was still blindly bulldozing my way through much of the UI, this really helped me fine tune my stabilization.

[@DanishStallion]

I learned something! thanks for the video! ive used it for a couple drift videos so far, im going to take what i learned and apply it better!

[@maxwell.peters]

Super helpful video! Thanks for the walkthrough!

[@franborrero]

Excited for this one!

[@mjodr]

Thanks for this. This info really holds up even now all the way up to version 1.5.x. I was watching "tutorials" from people who don't really know what they are talking about and probably only used it once trying to explain things and it wasn't helping. You actually understand how it works, which helps.

[@somatic.cinema]

This is great, thank you! I'm curious about the horizon lock setting. I have struggled to get a consistent horizon lock without the frame "clicking" in and out of a level horizon (even with gopro footage)

[@IvanRayBalais]

This is a very good tutorial love it, thank you for sharing your knowledge to us

[@TobyWallwork]

This was great. The best demo of Gyroflow to date.

[@MattBeardsley]

Awesome! Go team Gyroflow - this looks amazing. Thanks so much for the deep dive on the workflow..

[@RGMGFitness]

So much changing so fast with all the new 'stabilization' software. We've got the new GoPro ReelSteady 2.0 (released Friday 4/8/2022) and GyroFlow (v1.0.0-rc5 (March 8, 2022)). Hard to know which is better right now. Haven't tried GyroFlow yet...just doing some research...thx Paul!

[@andreamarcovaldi]

Just received a brand new osmo action 4 and i was looking for a tutorial like this! Thank you so much! Cheers from Roma Italy from a new subscriber!

[@petehikers6003]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. It's great to see a FCPX Plugin available now! I hope it will soon be possible to stabilize directly from the timeline without compound clips.

Thanks for your time, bro 👍👍👍😀

[@ChomperFPV]

Definitely drank from the fire hose 😵‍💫🤤thanks for this breakdown Nurk, it helps a lot.

[@strawhatsam]

Wow this is amazing. I can already tell it's gonna be so much better than working with SteadXP. The GUI actually makes logical sense to a user and the dynamic zooming is super useful.

[@PropellerSteve]

Thanks for sharing.

[@mattbfpv7172]

Cool to know stabilization is taking another step. I can’t wait for this to evolve where either Gopro or Insta adopts the engineering

[@StargateNomad-01]

Love your style! Any help making a 360 degree twin lens profile, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing this wealth of knowledge!

It's complicated when you don't know how to do it. Thanks for this very concise yet thorough tutorial on the Gyroflow.

[@propsoff]

Really good stuff Paul. I hope its still cool to share a link to your videos. I just posted a video were I get the Runcam Thumb working with Gyroflow. This video helped a lot and I linked it in my description. Thanks...👊🏻

[@YamilSunRay]

awesome video! How does it work with a full frame lens? can one use just a random chessboard in the same aspect ratio as your full frame? asking for the BMCC6kFF and some 7artisans lenses

[@hchattaway]

Maybe i missed it, but it is best to turn off all of the GoPro stabilization and have it just record a normal video? if it's stabilization is turned off, does it still write to the video file the gyro data? Thanks, awesome tutorial and amazing software!

[@koolaidpapi7674]

Thanks youre a legend ! Any info on how to use vertical footage ?

[@jdrone]

I think there is a certain difference between Reel Steadigo and Gyroflow, but I think Gyroflow is good when it comes to setup. And it's free, too. I have a question for you. Can you control the movement of the drone up and down in the gyroflow?

[@nes.torfernandez]

I feel like a pro thanks to Nurk lmao Out of joke gyro is a great tool, I do fpv but also scuba diving and lots of people used GoPro as their main camera for video and since I post about it on the Facebook group it has help so many people, some of them already donate to the cause.

[@cineflight1171]

Can‘t wait to see it. Gyroflow is the future

[@besilikum]

Really helpfull! Do i need to create a new lens profile also when changing from 30fps to 60fps or with different focal lengths on the same lens?

[@abueromonsele7036]

Very insightful and educative thank you so. My question is can gyroflow be ideal for mobile phones videography? (See some cope of phones it can get the len profiles).

[@dududu7694]

I'd like a tiny standalone gyro+blackbox recorder, to put on nano cars, or tinywhoop. To stabilize footage from older Runcam/Caddx split FPV camera. Like a board which takes 1S voltage, has a gyro, and record data to a flash chip or sdcard slot. I hope some brand would create that.

[@Mariusstrandberg]

Thank you!

[@crank_FPV]

For some reason I’m not getting results I need yet but I know this video will get me there! I’m not seeing the gyro data in the lines like you but I’m thinking my footage might be so shaky it’s not able to get smoothed 😂 with stabilization on its worse than without so know I’m off somewhere though still

[@Shins_FPV]

Thx man for this video ;)

[@danimalthefirst]

Thanks Nurk. Assuming it also works with the new Insta Go 3?

[@Cooking_with_grandmaYT]

Thanks for this incredibly useful walk through, which, among other things clarified best calibration technique, prompting me to redo some that I started with. You note that existence of fourth axis in GoPro data does away with need for integration. How about with a Sony FX6, if you know? I assume FX6 would record 4th axis as well, but would be grateful for confirmation, and any other experience or tips you may have for working with this camera with incredible Gyroflow! Thank you.

[@AdrianEddy]

only GoPro precalculates the orientation (the 4th axis he talked about) in camera, all others don't but it's not an issue at all

[@contouraerials]

Nurk with the win!

[@nicolasazar96]

We need a Gyroflow updated tutorial please! ✌️

[@twzted_synapse221]

Dude, INCREDIBLY technical with all the "left side" settings. What if I just use an Avata and just want smoother footage, do I have to adjust all that?

[@darksheepvids]

Thank you for the tutorial very very usfull

[@bencorwin]

This interface looks amazing. Can I use SteadXP data as well?

[@MountainSurfer]

Good stuff 👍

[@FlyNorthRC]

Great video 👍🏻 Is it possible to export 4:3 video to 16:9 in the "superview" style?

[@arturobonfil]

hi, great video i just have a question, what are the camera settings for the Panasonic ?

[@valakimas3719]

I wonder if this will be integrated into some sort of video editing program any time soon. It would be so amazing to use this (or a simplifies version) in Resolve or Premiere

[@etiennelacroix-videoproduc4382]

it is already Resolve and FCPX

[@XAndroidBoy]

Thank you for the thorough tutorial. One question. Is it possible to mount my iphone on my canon, record gyro data by the supported apps and video from the canon, and then sync the .txt gyro data with the video to stabilize the canon footage?

[@ValleyFPV]

My newbie question: if using a gopro for both video and gyro data do I turn off hypersmooth? And for a quad and hero 8 do I want a rock solid camera mount to the quad or something shock absorbing?

[@ValleyFPV]

Thanks for watching. You want a very solid mount..with some micro vibration absorption pads. That works well. I use a TPU 4d printed gopro mount but use some soft silicone in-between that and the frame.

[@PedroBraulioAlvarezMuvdi]

Hey Nurk, what would be the IMU orientation XYZ of a Hero10 upside down with same angle orientation but upside down?

[@MJBold_1]

When filling out the "Camera Setting" for the camera lens, you typed "C4K". What does the C stand for? I'm sure it's an obvious answer and I feel dumb missing it... Brilliant video, lots of info! Thanks a lot!

[@shadaiperez]

Love your contact awesome stuff! …. Just a quick tip Golden rule always watch your videos before you upload.

[@Shauny_D]

Do you know how to calculate the rolling shutter settings? Also do you have any clarity on the velocity dampened. Logically I get it and it seems to work better for more "freestyle" like movements but the settings are indeed a bit mysterious.

[@cineflight1171]

In the calibration process from steadxp it was recommend to fill the frame as much as possible with the chart so I think it is helpfull in gyroflow too. So there shouldn’t be only a little quarter of the chart at bottom left for example - instead go closer and tilt the camera from bottom left to fill the frame more. I think this gives better data for the correction of the distortion of a lens. But maybe I‘m wrong..

[@NURKFPV]

Gyrfoflow recommends you start filming the frame and also get some frames from further back.

[@Entropy512]

@@NURKFPV It's not in the official GF documentation, but many OpenCV tutorials (Gyroflow uses OCV for calibration) strongly recommend having some angled shots of the target. This helps get a much better focal length estimate.

[@AdrianEddy]

Yes, angled shots help, but don't make the angles too extreme

[@javagadro]

Epic!

[@suatsekil]

THANKS

[@MattBeardsley]

..I'd LOVE to see Red embed the Komodo's gyro data in its recorded clips.. It sounds like the camera has good hardware for it, but that people haven't really needed the data before now. Are there other cinema cameras that already include gyro data in clips? FX6 maybe?

[@maxun1]

Sorry but English is my second languish, and I do understand all you said, and you are a genius.

Hey Paul. Have you ever noticed significant difference between stab->color grade vs color grade -> stab quality wise?

[@asianseaanimals]

interesting material

[@JGF_FPV]

Great video! thanks! In my blackbox file I have 6 flights, and I want to use the second flight gyro data, but Gyroflow is taking the whole information form the .bbl file and its not sync by 3 minutes, It looks I can't make it sync or add negative values in the offset field. Could you please give me some suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

[@_rhapsodist]

what shutter angle do you need to shoot in for it to work well, can you use 180 degrees as well?

[@abramovfpv]

when the program remembers all previous settings, then I will definitely send a donation

[@Rocksteady72a]

On the export dropdown, there's an option for Export Settings. How do you import those presets though?

The word you are searching for @16:00 is Quaternion and Euler values ;) x,y,z is Euler and is the direct interpretation of angle around these axis. In Quaternion it is different and you cannot directly interpret it to the roll, pitch, yaw axes .

[@DJ300fttkl]

Hey, if you have a zoom lens does the calibration of the lens also apply to the full vocal length?

[@zhaooskar3178]

same question

[@NURKFPV]

Yes very much

[@jaytoland638]

@nurk fpv, how do you keep the camera meta data when joining two clips like you have done here? When joining DJI avata clips in premier pro I lose this when exporting. I basically want to join two clips to render in Gyroflow for scenarios when the video is not being but up and edited...

[@throughmyeyes4]

I have a sony A7iii is there a way to attach my phone to the camera and get the gyro data for Gyroflow?

[@hmm-m]

Is it possible to use this software with any ordinary camera without gyro too? I mean without attaching to it GoPro etc... My footage is already filmed. Would creating a profile suffice to have a nice stabilization? (Sure not as good as with gyro - but is it at all possible?)
