    Photo & Video Editing Software?

    I'm still searching for a video editor for PC that is as easy to use as Imovie on the Mac. Davinci was way too complex (not to mention a huge download that installed a bunch of other software to my machine). I don't want the "Photoshop" of video editing. I want the "Adobe Elements"...

    Why I NEVER Shoot Video at 24FPS

    If you are shooting video, you are using SOME type of motion right? Or do you sometimes just film a static scene from high in the sky (ie tripod mode)? (then why not just take a photo?) Why is an arc or orbit a different viewing experience than a pan? Do you mean using the Autopilot to more...

    Why I NEVER Shoot Video at 24FPS

    In reviewing videos I've shot with my Evo II Pro (as well as my underwater Nikon camera) the #1 thing leading to bad footage is panning or moving the camera too quickly. It simply makes your videos look jerky, confusing, and disengages the interest of the viewer. The majority of the shots I...

    This was at 60 frames 4K wish i had the 8K evo 2 Pro

    As a photographer I am stunned by the quality of these pictures! I never would have imagined individual frames from a video could look so good, particularly from a 1" sensor in the dark. FYI For still cameras there are lightning triggers that activate your camera's shutter when they detect a...

    Video files distorted with red and green

    Yep it was a VLC problem. The video files are fine and play back in other software. This was a 4K video I was trying to play back in Windows 10/VLC. I recently built a new computer and it was my first time playing back 4K video from my drone. Incidentally, it seems Macs do still handle video...

    Video files distorted with red and green

    I just copied the files from my last flight with me Evo II Pro and the photos were fine, but the video files are all unwatchable, just a bunch of distorted red and green lines. Here's a screenshot from when I tried to play it back in VLC. Any idea what is causing this?

    More racist fearmongering as US Gov threatens to ban DJI drones

    I'll play devil's advocate since there's no counterpoint presented yet. Here is an example of what DJI does that Autel (hopefully) doesn't...

    More racist fearmongering as US Gov threatens to ban DJI drones

    Well, it's a news item. I assume some were informed by it. If you already knew about it, kudos. "I already knew about this" is not something people come here to read. I think we can all agree that one anonymous internet commentator attacking the assumed emotions of another anonymous internet...

    More racist fearmongering as US Gov threatens to ban DJI drones

    I give this a <1% chance of passing, but it is a sign of where things are politically in the USA. This seems to be led by US Reps Marco Rubio and Ron DeSantis. Hopefully just electioneering with the upcoming 2024 US presidential elections. Of course it's patently illegal and entirely...

    Charge remote while flying ?

    Very simple to charge your phone / tablet / 2nd display used for video. I use a samsung Note 8 (as it has one of the brightest NIT screens of any device for the money) and when I plug it in to the autel controller to fly, it begins charging. Actually I don't know how to disable this, so it...

    Autel EVO III "Leaks" over at DroneDJ.com

    How exactly is the Evo 2 obsolete? Still getting new features all the time, best camera, new autopilot modes came this year. Here I am thinking I still have the best drone on the market...

    Why I NEVER Shoot Video at 24FPS

    Just checked and this is correct. What I was thinking of is how YouTube videos are at a *fixed* frame rate. In other words the frame rate cannot change in the middle of the video. All of the "comparison" videos I have watched where they are showing 24 fps vs 30 fps vs 60 fps, the video plays...

    Photo & Video Editing Software?

    I am mainly a stills photographer, with very little experience editing videos (usually just take them as-shot straight from my drone). I use both Mac (laptop) and PC (desktop). DaVinci Resolve (free) is packed with features, and is actually an industry standard for video production (alongside...

    Autel Explorer App Issues

    Autel Explorer App no longer working for me on Samsung Note 8. It's a dedicated device just for the drone with no other software installed. Tried both the App Store version (1.1.8.16) and the APK download posted here (1.1.8.8.1) and both crash right after clicking "camera" on the main screen...
