Instagram compresses and changes your settings to 30fps, so it's better to record with that fps otherwise it will add frames to your footage and make it jittery
OMG! The last part of this video literally beat all the other 50 videos that I've watched trying to figure out, why my videos still look like sh!@t on Instagram.... lmao!!! Omg! I must've wasted 5 hours watching tutorials on why my videos still upload like crap. Thank you! Thank you! a million times.
Is there any app you recommend for editing for a none professional whose mind is blown by these editing software programs? Also, is it best to upload the footage direct from the drone/computer or put it on my phone, then upload it? Thanks… I’m old 😂
Question,what brand and type sd card do you recommend for the dji air 3.thank you😊.I am having problems viewing 4k video and also uploading it to friends.
Hi Matthew, Just bought my Mini 2 and loving all your videos. I am looking at purchasing your preset luts. Can these be used on an iPad with say VN Video Editor? Or do they have to be used on a desktop/Mac. Again, thanks for the awesome content.
Hey Matthew, fan of the channel for some time. Only recently subbed; my fault that. Contents fantastic and appreciate it! Bought my “first” this past 21, a Holy Stone 110G (Great little bird). Learned to fly, learned about a gimbal lol, and have a Mini2 w/ hub + 2 renewed batteries inbound! 😄 VERY excited. Again, if not for your vids, I would have gone SE as it seemed feature rich and cheaper. It’s not that it’s poor, I just learned about the higher ceiling on the 2. Point is I work in healthcare and obviously stress the f#@$ out daily/nightly. Thanks to you I discovered drone photography/videography! For me, there is just something so peaceful and stress relieving about it. Shoot mostly nature/wildlife sure, but even when I do dilapidated buildings it’s peaceful. You’re pretty much solely responsible for that. So thank you. Might even start putting up some content soon? Who knows? (Once I have some skill) 🤣
Hi Matthew, do you notice any difference when you transfer the video from your DJI Mini using the SD card? Or you use your cellphone memory and then your Icloud to transfer it? Thank you. ps your video is nice and crystal clear
Hey! If I use the "Quick Transfer" mode to get the videos from the drone to my phone and then upload it to iCloud I see no difference in resolution or quality compared to the SD card. Just make sure you aren't downloading the lower-quality video previews to the phone and you will be good to go! Hope that helps!
Hi Matt, I've been trying to follow along the video but not sure why my Final Cut Pro is not showing the 'Sequence' option when I click on File > New. Do you know what could be the reason for this? Many thnks
No one else finds it crazy that we have to do this in 2023 just to MAYBE be able to post a 1080p video? This is like a full class just to post a single video 😂🤦🏻♂️.
Great videos. Thanks for making them so educational! In Premiere Pro, I think you can also right click on the clip and select "set to frame size" to get it to match exactly without having to fiddle with the dialing in the scaling. Just a tip that might help.
What if you don't use the vertical drone camera setting? So my videos are horizontal and then I have to stretch them into the vertical frame size. Im assuming that will lower the quality?
If you use an iphone can you share the best way to take and exported video (onto Mac) and add it to your iphone for use on reels. IG stories would be great tutorial as well.
I'm using Avata 2. Recorded in horizontal. Created the sequence in vertical, drop the video and scaling to 90% actually makes smaller and doesn't fill the entire space. To fully cover I needed to scale to 179%. What I did wrong ?
Why aren't you changing the frame rate to 30fps or less? I wasn't paying attention and recorded a 4k video with 60fps and notice instagram recommendations configure spec says 30fps. Once change via Davinci Resolve 19 video editing software, would it ruin the quality. I tried leaving 60fps and noticed the quality isn't there once I changed the 2nd setting "Quality" to 5,000 (which is a smaller file than the automatic 80,000 setting it had. I figure IG will need to compress, and 5,000 is recommended by many. Or shall I do 50,000?) I didn't see this setting in your video, what is it actually called on your screen?
Thanks for these Tips Matt!! Have you already posted a guide about the best video settings of the controller of the mini 3 pro about what kind of format is better to use, codec etc ? Thanks
Thank you! I have a guide showing the best gimbal settings for smooth cinematic moves - ua-cam.com/video/wa6Ku9lAS8E/v-deo.html . But will get one put together going over the best video settings. Appreciate the idea!
Hi. Great videos, very informative! A question for you. How to get rid of those annoying "broken lines" when filming cables and thin lines with a Mavic 2 pro? We struggle with iy especially when downsample 4k to HD. Thx for reading.
And then from pc you have to send the video to your phone right ? I ask this because right now we can upload videos and photos directly from our pc on instagram. How do we send the videos to our phone but not to lose clarity ?
Hey Mattheww i havent use my drone for few months and i remmber when first edit video in premiere pro i had to Encode them to another file so i can view them and export them with out having the video lag after while i remmber i didnt change much of setting but i didnt need to encode the video before using them there any tutorial for best to import drone video to primiere?

Hi there, very detailed video but when i do it on my adobe premiere pro the drone video doesn't take up all the screen unless i change the scale to 180. Can anyone help me with this problem please?
Hi thanks great vid but what is the advantage of h 264 on the video format. Can the mini 3 not shoot in h 265 which is smaller file size but same quality?
I had read online that Instagram only supports H.264 compression. Haven't tried H.265 recently, but I shoot in H.264 anyway. Might be worth trying H.265?
@@TheDroneCreative I did try on h265 it’s pretty good and never try h264😅. I will try tomorrow to see the difference . I did post one video (1080,30fps, h265) I can share the link so show up p.s I’m beginner with dji3minipro RC. Thanks for your video

Hey Thiago, if you record in 30fps I would keep it at 30fps. I have found that 30fps timecodes down to 25fps fine, but 30fps down to 24fps causes stutters! Hope that helps!
Have you had any experience with Mavic Air 2 and uploading reels? I dont believe the Mavic Air 2 has a vertical video setting, and I cant get my drone video to take up the entire instagram screen. (Editing w final cut pro)

Wow this is very long winded! I just upload 4K 60fps from Camera Roll on my iPhone to Insta and they look pretty good to me. Apart from when you add music as this somehow adds a ton of compression to the video. Do these settings also work with Stories?
Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if I could ask for your help with an issue I've been experiencing on WhatsApp. Whenever I send a video, the quality seems to degrade even though the size is fine. I'm not quite sure what's causing this, and I was wondering if you might have any suggestions for how to fix it. I really appreciate your help, and I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
