Thank you very much for this Sean. I have been editing on the iPad, using iMovie, after pulling in all those huge 4k files, and laboriously sifting through and reviewing section after section, doing what limited editing is available. Though I see the ‘cookie-cutter’ argument, this is nothing short of miraculous, for when you are out and about flying and shooting all day, and just wanting to send a quick edit to friends and family, showing them what you were up to. I am for sure converting to LightCut as soon as I have downloaded the app. This just made my month, thank you.
Like you, I have used iMovie for more than 560 videos on MacBook and while I actually enjoy the process (cutting to the beat of the music is a favourite!) it does take time. How have you found it it? The issue I can see is that the music will bring up copyright strikes when I upload to UA-cam. 😞However I suppose I can delete the music and substitute a similar tempo from YT library. It certainly sounds good to me so I will download it now onto my iPhone. It will be useful especially on holidaay abroad when I don't bring my MacBook Pro but often bring the iPad. Sean is fanastic isn't he? I've watched a number of his already for Mini 3 Pro. Excellent, calm and clear.
this is like fifth video by you that I am watching while charging my batteries for my new mini 3 (which I bought based on your video lol).. Great app, easy to use! Learned some new tricks
Nice tutorial. I have a lot of video clips I’d like to edit together and share online but just get lazy knowing I have to import it all and sit down at the computer. This app looks pretty intuitive and easy to use on the phone. 👌🏻
This looks like really interesting software, which you demonstrated and explained very well. My problem with this is that the drone needs to be switched on while editing, This will obviously deplete the battery or if it can be edited whilst the drone is connected to a power source, it will likely overheat and turn itself off.
I just made my first video ever . am simple dude who love to drive his bike and film it .. your videos was simple and helpful I Thank you from the heart good Sir keep up the good work :)
Thank you! Our family bought our first drone and action camera (Mavic Mini and Action 3). Been loving them, and will definitely download this editing app. Your tutorials are so helpful. 🙏
This is a wonderful tutorial. You have a clear presentation style. I'm on vacation and shooting a lot and needed to edit my clips. I didn't realize how capable Light Cut was and the advantage of connecting to the drone directly. Thank you for the inspiraiton.
I've been having so many issues with the Lightcut app not allowing me to select my Action 4's footage. Your cellular data toggle hack helped me fix this and successfully export a video using the One-Tap Edit feature. Thank you!! I was going crazy thinking the app just was never going to allow me to use the AI edit feature. If you'd be willing to, please make a video about your experience with this cell data bug during device import in the Lightcut app. Doesn't have to be an official fix; just your experience and demonstration. There's so many people out there with this issue, and support threads on DJI or Reddit aren't offering any solution. Cheers!!!
Thanks for this sir. Haven't tried it yet but it's strange that the description for the app in the Google Play store mentions nothing about being able to read directly from certain DJI devices. Not doubting that the feature exist as you demonstrated it in the vid. It's a stand out feature that seperates it from the other mobile video editing apps out there particularly for DJI users. Also I'm sure it works on Android tablets..I'll let you know
It seems exactly like Capcut but with the ability to edit straight from the drone, I'll definitely try this out, thanks Sean and have a happy St. Patrick's Day ☘️
Great video. Thanks. I’ve just bought my first dji. It’s Action 4 which swaps my GoPro 8. My two questions are: 1. What is bettet D Log or Normal colour for Light Cut editing? 2. Is there a film time limit that is possible to create in Light Cut?
Great tutorial. I've been playing with the app, is there any way to make the AI make a longer final video? When selecting 10-15 mins of clips it always outputs a a 20-30s clip
Used this yesterday for the first time yesterday and boy was I happy it auto corrected the landscape format to the vertical format. On the pocket 3 I thought I was shooting in Vertical mode but turned out it was Horizontal.
How do you achieve this? If I select videos in landscape format and go to one tap edit, it generates a 16:9 video, if I change it then to 9:16 I just get the zoomed out version?
I have no idea. It did it automatically. It gave me exactly what I saw on the small screen when I was recording. It gave me exactly what I saw in the viewfinder.
I’ve been using this app on my iPhone since you made this video.. really helpful tips Shawn .. the only issue I faced recently that you can’t rotate the screen if you’re working with iPad in Magic Keyboard .. only vertical, a total pain the … to hold an iPad 13 inch in the hand while editing. Hopefully they update it
This is perfect for a quick short for the mini 3s vertical abilities. Make a quick short after landing and edit the ‘proper’ footage at home on the computer. Ideal.
Hi Shaun great easy to follow video. Can I just ask, in addition to importing from my drone is it possible to import from my iPhone and action camera at the same time to incorporate all 3 sources in a final video? Thanks Gary
Thanks for this, good review. I had high hopes but on connecting the drone and selecting any of my videos, it displays 'editing 4k videos not supported'. I am on Android.
Did you cover how to use it with getting video off my pocket 3 and minie 4 pro drone and combining the two? Or did i miss that part? Do i have to download them to combine the video?
Thanks for very instructive video. I have few questions: 1. Can you increase the duration of the clip once you use One Tap option (I didn't find it :( ) 2. Initially AI makes quite a good thing to synchronize music beats with clip changes, but once you reorganize the clips (change their order), it gets out of sync - is there any recommendation how to sync it again?
I think this is just the DJI Mimo editing software now. My only issue with the AI templates is that it forces them in to 20 seconds or less. It would be great if you could chose your own length and music, but still get AI clip selection.
I paused this and downloaded onto my android tablet, and will investigate the app further. Seems like you won't be able to use these generated videos on youtube if your channel is monetised?
Thank you so much.. I'm new drone photography/filming/editing..etc. I recently purchased the mini 3 fly more como so finding your channel is a blessing.. ty. I was wondering if you may know what the theme and song the AI originally chose for your video clips here?
Great video, very easy to follow. Unfortunately I cannot edit directly from my mini3 pro, I can view the files, but the program is then permanently stuck on the analysing files at 0%. works fine when dowloaded to my phone, any suggestions? thanks again for the video, I will keep refering to it on my travels
First of all, thank you so much for putting up this video. It was very well done. A quick question....... I download the video from my drones, Pocket 2 and Pocket 3 onto my 4Tb hard drive. My phone has no available space to put any of my 4k videos on. How would I get saved files from my hard drive into LightCut ? Appreciate your help.
Can you change the desired length when you use one-tap edit? I made some mountainbike footage. Get several recordings of 10 minutes each and i want to create a 3 minute movie with it. Just starting, so nu sure how yet. Recordings are created with DJI Action 4
So... I actually find the "My FPV"-template super amazing with the electro music and flashing. I want to use it but If I can't find it in the app, what do I do?
Hi, Thank you for sharing this. I have a question for you how to do picture in picture with lightcut? If for example I import a clip from my drone and a clip from my Phone.. IS there a way to merge them so that I can see the clips at the same time when exporting the file later?
It looks great,but I have several questions: - does it accept files from any device,any brand? - is there a limit of single files in a project or you can add as many as you wish? - can you connect the app directly to Gopro? - is there a time limit of a project?
I am trying to use this on an iPad and it seems it must be used vertically only. Is this correct? The app doesn't rotate when you go horizontal? For me this is rather odd and I don't especially like the feel and look when having to edit with the iPad in a vertical position. I did write to DJI to see if this is correct but got no reply. Do you know? Is there a vertical lock or something I am missing. As you say it is a smartphone app only now so maybe I just need to wait.
Cheers so much Sean just came across this by accident 😊 Thinking of getting the new Pocket 3 next year and using this Game changing features DJI outdoing the competition Thanks for the tutorial as well so ewsy to follow ❤
Not sure if Im the only one, but when I export, I lose so much quality, it looks 480p. I am using the 4k export option, but still its terrible. Does anyone know why?
Not yet done any drone videos as new to this, but have to say the clips with the train and the fast music was really cool. really added that feeling of running or getting away in a hurry, well i think so lol Nive video thank you
if your still a mini2 pilot the new lightcut update and features are lost to you? free soft ware, expensive new drone, mini 3 and above...or am I wrong???
it's crazy that this app is for free... absolutely love it
me too. one of the many reasons why i bought osmo action 4. Love it and love the app
I wish this editor was on PC too since I like it but for big stuff I am limited by storage space on my device so PC would be great!
Yes, this would be really great. I would PAY for that . DJI, you listening?
Thank you very much for this Sean.

Mine doesnt have the option to export into 4k, how about you? I’m on iPad Pro 11”
Like you, I have used iMovie for more than 560 videos on MacBook and while I actually enjoy the process (cutting to the beat of the music is a favourite!) it does take time. How have you found it it?

what are you talking about? this doesn't have 4k option. it is lame. I prefer youcut. it is the best free app you can get.

Brilliant tutorial! I hardly ever leave comments but this was such a good video! Thank you so much, so helpful and clearly explained✨
This was a very thorough introduction to LightCut. Thanks for making such an informative video.

Yes my drone seems to get quite warm when it is powered on sitting on my desk...
Keep a fan blowing on the drone when you have it powered on & not in the air. I also like to do it when I’m charging the battery in the drone.
@@jeremiahmcarthur4410 This.^^^^^^^ Very important on a mini 3/4. I put my drone on a small box in front of full-size box fan on medium.
Thankyou your video explaining Lightcut is superb..
The way you explain the various bits it's great..
Keep the good work up..much appreciated

Been using the app for a while but you’ve provided a couple of extra tips I was unaware of 👍🏻
Thank you for this tutorial, Shawn! This will be handy for publishing direct to social media from the field.
You are a natural. Voice is clear and easy to the ears. Looking forward to more. Subscribed.
Wow, thank you!
Everything brilliantly explained! Made a clip within minutes of watching your tutorial.
Great video. Thanks. I’ve just bought my first dji. It’s Action 4 which swaps my GoPro 8. My two questions are:
1. What is bettet D Log or Normal colour for Light Cut editing?

Great tutorial. I've been playing with the app, is there any way to make the AI make a longer final video? When selecting 10-15 mins of clips it always outputs a a 20-30s clip
I was wondering the same thing 🤔
Looking for the same thing
Tap on the clip so you see 2 whit bars 1 each sidr and stretch.
How do you stop the drone from overheating while you do the work? Just having the drone on it gets super hot.
@@Galvoflysoz Put drone in front of a house fan.

I have no idea. It did it automatically. It gave me exactly what I saw on the small screen when I was recording. It gave me exactly what I saw in the viewfinder.
So you also selected landscape videos? Maybe the difference is that I am using the mini 4 pro for filming.@@ChiRat22
Oh that might be it. Im was using the osmo pocket 3
Would have been great if this software was available for PC

On what progam you edit it at home?
Concise and easy to follow, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Just did my first video with light cut AMAZING im not that savy with this stuff but you guys have made it easy and the video is so helpful.🤩🤩
The APP UI looks very refreshing and clean！
Thank you, this is the what I'm thinking for how to edit with cinematic sounds before I buy DJI NEO, 😅
I honestly enjoyed and learnt a lot from your video.
Thank you for the brilliant presentation.
I've been messing around this app as well. And I find it very useful for short clips. Great demo Shawn, I picked up a few tricks. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent overview and demonstration of the app. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
@@AirPhotographythe app doesn’t let you download the video and edit is this a common problem?
Thank you one of the best tutorials I’ve seen!

oh my god.. it feels like i was living in the 2010s and now i'm back to 2024!
its most detailed and unique tutorial about DJI Mimo Excellent However my question is Can I connect it and use it with Dji MO5 Gimbal ??
First of all, thank you so much for putting up this video. It was very well done. A quick question....... I download the video from my drones, Pocket 2 and Pocket 3 onto my 4Tb hard drive. My phone has no available space to put any of my 4k videos on. How would I get saved files from my hard drive into LightCut ?

Hi i watched this looks great, i only have DJi Action ( the 1st one ) what would you recommend, as uploading to the phone takes an age
Can you change the desired length when you use one-tap edit? I made some mountainbike footage. Get several recordings of 10 minutes each and i want to create a 3 minute movie with it. Just starting, so nu sure how yet. Recordings are created with DJI Action 4

Glad it was helpful!
Great video!
Can I add my own music or do I have to use the pre-selected?
Excellent video sir. No fluff, just good content 👍
Amazing video. Can lightcut download photos manually from an sd card? As in through a connect directly to an iPhone?
Great video snd i will definitely get back to it again and again.
What about the drone overheating when looking at the material?
Loved the video but I have one question... how'd you get your apple pencil to work with your iphone.
Stellar video as always!! Looks very similar to the CapCut editing program?
Awesome tutorial.. i learned some stuff that i was looking for in Lightcut
Hi, Thank you for sharing this. I have a question for you how to do picture in picture with lightcut? If for example I import a clip from my drone and a clip from my Phone.. IS there a way to merge them so that I can see the clips at the same time when exporting the file later?

you forgot the most inportant question: doest it saves your projects in 4k? and the answer is no.
Thanks for this. Me and my wife have found it very helpful.
Thanks for this interesting tutorial. Immediately installed....
Great video ..this a easy to use app with great results worth trying …thanks for bringing it to the attention of others in our hobby…
Does it allow for changing video background? i didn't find the feature.
What settings would you recommend resolution wise if i wanted to export videos onto UA-cam that are not shorts
Glad I found you dude, great tutorial. Thank you.

Thanks for helpful video, is there a way to set the time on the auto edit option?
Untuk hp yang kuat 1080 apakah bisa bagus setelah di edit?
Hi there
Is the music ok to use on UA-cam without attracting copyright problems?
Great video for this newcomer to Dji pocket 3
Thank you
Great tutorial - thanks for sharing this 👌
I'd like to find out if there is a method to modify or prolong the duration of the single tap AI edit feature.
WOW, that's Fantastic, Thank You.
SUPER HELPFUL. THANK YOU!
Cheers so much Sean just came across this by accident 😊
Thinking of getting the new Pocket 3 next year and using this
Game changing features

Indeed, pocket 3 is incredible. DJI has a wonderful lineup right now to suit any need and budget
