Part 3 is finished, so if you were all about that 3D text, camera tracking and all of that difficulty 😅, please check it out here: czcams.com/video/nWnMJiML1Dc/video.html
Nice breakdown! Learned a couple things 🙂 I've produced a lot of psytrance in my youth and used a ton of whooshy sounds. One thing I learned early: hipass these (cut away the bass)! They often have a ton of low freq noise which can really mess with the bass of the real music. I feel like this would be applicable here as well, even though the music is not so bass-heavy. The occurence of clipping is likely also related to the high amount of low freq noise in that instant. Happy flying!
You're totally right - in other videos I've done I normally cut the low frequency on the music track when a whoosh or howling wind comes in since I want the low rumble to come through, but at the same time one of the biggest headaches is considering the platform that people will be viewing on which will be, on average, a mobile device, thus no bass. Even laptops just don't have the low-end, so I could be previewing everything on my big studio monitors and be happy, but then I switch to the laptop speakers and then suddenly it doesn't feel right 😅. Even in this faux-tutorial, for the sake of audio during recording I did everything mainly out of my laptop speakers, but then editing the tutorial there were some bits that couldn't be heard despite audio being captured directly. Audio mixing is no joke 😬.
You are the best explaining all of this really thanks for your hard work! Could You do and editing tutorial for a cinematic video with diferentes shots? (No one take) i would like to ser how You aproach to the transitions. In that case you use more the drone movement? Or you use transitions it self? Iam having a hard time with transitioning fron one clip to another. Sorry for mi English and thanks!
I'll have to give it some thought, but yes this could be done - I think I did some stuff like this in the Cruise by the Pools video, mix of masking with gradient wipes to make transitions more interesting than just cutting. It's very video specific though, and to be done well needs planning before a flight - otherwise you need to get creative when reviewing footage with gaps or sharp turns.
Ah yes, so if you watch the pre-flight walk-around video, I do talk about how this was planned all along - the long-distance part of the flight I'm situated at another part of the dam, far from the spillway, such that both the type of drone (freestyle) and the potential interference of the concrete mean I shouldn't try flying down the spillway in one go, so I do the flip as a transition point. From there it's a different drone, a cinewhoop, and I'm also sitting at a new location right next to the spillway so my radio and video signal doesn't get interrupted around all that concrete.
Do you use proxies on lower power machines. And yes! Adobe does crash quite a bit. 🤔 You got free Luts man? LOL. You have a very understandable way f putting across some of this information. Some of these other "creators" just go too deep into it and way too fast. I have had Premier for over a year and I use it every day, but I am not very creative by nature. I need all of the tools I can get. Over a year and I have barely scratched the surface of it's capabilities.
I sometimes use proxies, but a lot of the time I forget to do it unless scrubbing through footage starts to get too choppy, then I'll remember that it can help. It doesn't always improve things though - I edit off a high-speed external SSD and sometimes off my internal SSD, so throughput isn't as much of an issue as some of the rendering effects, thus proxies are not a guaranteed improvement, but it depends from system to system. And no, I don't offer free LUTS myself, haha. Those LUTs that I have I must've found maybe six or seven years ago. They're decent, not amazing, but crucially whichever one I use I always turn it down and make my own small corrections do that weird things like banding or flickering either don't occur or are less pronounced. A lot of my videos have visible flickering from how the LUT and grain in the image interact, but it's not too distracting so I live with it. Until I properly switch to DaVinci Resolve and up my colour grading game, I'm satisfied for now. Glad you like my way of "teaching", hehe. Believe it or not I cut down like ten minutes of additional footage because there are so many places that I can go off on a tangent that gets too far away from the task at hand. It's the reason why I think maybe for the future I could break down each section in more detail, but that's a very time consuming task so will leave it for now and focus on other things.
@@STRIKINGFPV I have tried these tutorial type videos on some of my builds and flights. It's not as easy as it looks and very time consuming and when you are using several cameras something can always go wrong with one of them.

This is amazing.

Amazing thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!

@@STRIKINGFPV You could do some kind of tutorial for that kind of editing? Thanks Master.
Why did you make a cut right in the middle of the flip? Was it to shorten the video, but make it look like one continuous flow?

Really well done man! Much better than mine. Earned a sub from me!
Oh cheers bro, glad you liked it. Subbed you back, and love your profile pic
@@STRIKINGFPV ayyy! thank you sir! Hope you enjoy the content as well! :D
Well done. Subbed.
Cheers!
