6th July 2024 - Just had a copyright strike on the music used in the Lightcut edit. Which is why the music cuts over me talking at the end of the Finished Lightcut video as I had to replace it. with something from the YT Audio library and for some reason YT thought the music carried on a bit after it ended. This also happened to me with the DJI Fly editing video that I produced shortly after this one, but I managed to catch that before it went out. It seems that someone in some territory somewhere is secretly buying the rights to what was originally DJIs royalty free music. So just a word of warning - if you plan to use Lightcut or DJI Fly (and very probably DJI Mimo) for editing UA-cam vids and have a monetised channel, you might want to pick a music track from a third party such as the UA-cam Audio library where you KNOW the music will DEFINITELY be royalty free. I'll probably do a vid about that... 🖖
Boringly, amazing in a heleriously boring, fantastic and interestingly funny way. I got so excited to start typing "big Ben is the bell" hahaha. Loved this! Did you know Big Ben "the bell" currently in place is the second one, after the original 'short lived' bell was cracked, this was built in Stockton. Then the bell was took down, shattered and used to make the current one! NOW, THAT'S HOW YOU DO "BORING"
Amok you should have way more subscribers in my opinion. I find your content very enjoyable and even relaxing for some reason. I find your self-deprecating humor to be quite hilarious and the overall content to be very informative and educational. I am on a mission to watch and comment on as many of your videos as I can to hopefully influence the algorithm to push your content higher up on other drone enthusiasts recommended to watch lists. I have no idea if that's even how that works but from what I understand it can help at least a little. Keep up the great work. I have a list of about ten content creators that I always look forward to new videos from and you are in the top three. Have a great day.
You are too kind..... Top 3???!!!! (I guess that means I'm at number 3 then! 😂) Who's number 1 and 2 and when is the UA-camr boxing match scheduled for?🤣🤣🤣 No, seriously, thankyou so much for your kind comments - It's truly lovely to hear feedback like that and makes it all worth it! If you're working your way through the back catalogue, I will apologise now for some of my earlier non-waffly stuff, although you will still probably find it relaxing and interesting. And yes - every view, like, comment and sub helps - sharing and adding to a playlist helps even more I think. If you get bored whilst watching any of the early ones, just leave it running and go and make a cup of coffee or something - that helps with the retention rate 😉 Thanks again! Amok🖖
@@amoktimeflies Too be honest I just didn't want to sound to corny by telling you that you are actually number one. I didn't want it going to your head. 🤣🤣 Its a tight race though so continue to bring your A-game.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Darren - That is truly wonderful to hear. My whole goal is to make content that is relatable to people starting out. I've not been doing this for long, but I like to share my passion with a wider audience and if it benefits one person, or at least entertains them, then the 1 hour of editing to 1 minute of content is worth it! (ugh this one was a 4am-er!) Thanks for watching and happy flying!
Just ran across your channel, sorry I did'nt find it sooner ! Thanks so much for the info on Lightcut. Enjoyed the humor very much ! New sub . Hope all is well !
Hey - glad you found it useful! I have a ‘deeper dive’ vid on Lightcut in the works - featuring the DJI Neo, but applicable to any footage, so keep an eye out for that in the next few weeks. All the best and thanks for the sub!🖖
Hi pal thank you for this video, i have just started my drone UA-cam channel so this helps a lot, i have used capcut for a few years now but from what i have found on lightcut it seems to be a lot more better. thank you again
Yeh - there are a few alternatives out there, but what really impressed me with LightCut is how the AI adds ambient sounds as well as the music! Thanks for watching!
@@amoktimeflies It really is a very impressive app, i spend hours editing videos, finding the right sounds, filters effects etc now all i do is upload a few videos and lightcut puts everything together for you, this is the app we need. Thank you. New Subscriber here 😃
Wonderful!!! 😀👏 I find that when I transfer from my drone to my phone it usually takes the second time to connect. Love your channel 👍 Will have to think up something to ask how to do. Cool fun fact!!!! 😀🐾🐈⬛👍🍻

Great stuff. Couldn’t not subscribe now could I. Very cool channel. Just tuned into you from Los Angeles, but returning home to France with my Neo in the new year…
Love your channel. Your cardboard UA-cam subscriber award is hilarious. Very nice video editing skills. I'm jealous. Working on developing my own. Flying in central Texas. My Air 2S and my volunteer group's Mavic 3T. Did note that Lightcut's user agreement restricts free use to non-commercialized videos. Seems to imply that any monetized videos would violate the free version agreement? Just a thought. Good work. Keep it up.
I couldn’t find anything in the T&Cs about monetisation, but I have emailed them just to check. Cardboard play buttons may be my first bit if merch btw so keep an eye out! 😂
@skiphorni - For what it's worth - I reached out to Lightcut and they confirmed that it's fine to use for UA-cam vids and they didn't seem overly concerned about whether they were monetised or not. I would suggest that you using it then it's probably just a common courtesy to acknowledge them in the vid or description given that they give away the software for free... Fly happy buddy!
I learnt that you can use LightCut to connect drones like air 3, mini 4 pro to edit directly without needing to download first by DJI FLY, might be a tip for you
Thankyou and yes you can in a way - once the video has generated you can go into 'Edit More' and manually edit the video including adding extra clips. I know it doesn't help you at the moment, but I do have a video for a deeper dive into manually editing in Lightcut coming up soon. Thanks for watching! 🖖
Thanks for sharing this video. I tried this app but I was not pleased with the video quality output. The clips from Mini 4 pro to light cut took too long transfer time for me and unfortunately the video output in 4k 30 was not nearly as clean as when I edited them with my pc video editor. The video output was quite unsharp compared to actual clip on the drone. I am sure this app is great but I rather use the editing on my PC.
Yeh - it’s defo no substitute for editing on a pc, but great at a pinch, especially if you’re out in the field and want to upload to social media… interesting that you were having issues with quality though - the vids that I’ve downloaded from my phone are all fine at 4k 30 - and I’ve not done anything to them in post except drop them into my main vid. Perhaps Davinci does something magic with them in the encoding? 🤔 Thanks for watching! 🖖
@@amoktimeflies I am glad you had no issue with the video quality but then you are a genius and I am not :) I liked all your videos because you explain things so well, making it easy to understand. Thanks for making so much effort to share your experience and skills with the drone usage.
Thanks Ed! Lovely vid, and lovely location! Great slomo waves at the beginning, fantastic reflections on the 'boat pool' and a lovely sunset! (Will stick this comment on your vid as well)
Nice Vid. How did you get your phone screen recording, e.g. @ 2:02, to show in your UA-cam video as if you were screen sharing? Perhaps you should do a UA-cam tutorial on that!?
Thanks Max - It's an option in the control centre. If you don't find it there you can go into settings -> control centre and it'll be in a setting called 'Screen Recording'. Then just bring up the control centre click on that and it gives you a 321 countdown and starts recording. When you finish it saves it to your photos and videos. You can then either pick it up on your computer through iCloud or by connecting the iPhone via the lightning usb Cable (Or USB C if you're lucky enough to have an iPhone 15. May do a quickie vid on it at some point, although it is slightly outside my niche right now... Even doing a vid on the Pocket 3 doesn't get a huge reaction (see the using the Air 3 as a Tape measure vid!😉) But keep the suggestions coming - all are appreciated! There are no bad ideas! (Well there are, but they are normally mine!🤣😂🤣) TFW!
Great Intro - All of this or just a phone. I like photos - have you tried to use Lightcut with photos or no ? P.S. - I used big platter disks then 9 inch floppies before the 3 inches were ever thought of myself. Sure do like the SD's though.
Thanks Tim! Yes, you can mix photos in or just purely use photos and LightCut will create a really nice dynamic slideshow with dynamic zooming and automatic effects. I started out with data on punch cards - this is why I love the latest tech so much!
IBM Keypunch cards, those were good old days. Question - Lightcut I cannot find where it's useful for just simple photos, not video, just photos. @@amoktimeflies
Sorry Tim - Do you mean that you can't find it, or that you don't find it useful for photos? I just checked and I used it to create a slideshow from a dozen of the photos on my phone....
You can do it both ways - see the next video in the series. Depends if you want to keep the video clips in your phone's video folder or not or just stuck somewhere in Lightcut's cache... As the rainy weather is here I've got a more in depth version of this vid planned and will probably go through it in more detail when I do that. Thanks for the question! 🖖
Ooh - I’m actually planning a deeper dive vid where I go into manually editing in the app rather than using AI, and it’s not something I tried in my experiments,so thanks for the heads up! Timing of your comment couldn’t have been better! 👍🖖
@@BikesHikesLikes I’ve just spent a few minutes fiddling about and it’s actually SO intuitive that it’s really easy to miss so you might end up kicking yourself 😉😂 Pinch or spread your fingers on the picture itself to crop or zoom back out! Yeh - I was surprised as well! All the best! 🖖
yes I did , but if I add a video the music doesn’t prolong it self , so I end up with the last piece of video without sound .. but the idea was good :-)
@@AustrianMTBTrails in the ‘edit more’ screen, tap ‘music’ then ‘add more’ and it will show you loads of tracks that you can use - probably including the track that was initially selected (I’m sure with a bit of digging around you’d be able to find it) May do a follow up video on this as these are all good questions! 🖖
Not yet got a drone but hoping to get one soon, just all the rules and regs that are putting me off. It would be used to do hiking and camping videos mainly so out in the country side / open. Enjoyed this video and have already subbed. If that fun fact is correct then wow. in the mid to late 80s i had an atari stfm computer as i used it to do midi sequencing in a studio and had to boot the computer up with one inside, how things have changed i like the way you present you vids, to the point but with a bit not all serious. fingers crossed you will soon get you subs up. i started my channel about 18 months ago but injured my ankle after only one video but all better now so fingers crossed will get more vids done and my sub s up. The reason i want the drone to make better vids all the best to you ps, im looking at the mini 4pro, rc2 combo, do you know if i can put filters on the lens?
Hello Buddy and thank for the sub - much appreciated! Sorry to hear about your injury, but hopefully things will get motoring on soon! If I was to recommend anything as a starter kit, but also in general, it would be the Mini 4 Pro fly More combo with the RC2 right now. All the software benefits of the 'big boy' Air3, Mavic 3 etc with the flexibility of being sub 250g, so being able to fly in the A1 Open category (you still must be able to see and detect the orientation of the drone at any time you're flying though! check out this vid : ua-cam.com/video/aUCLujGP1d0/v-deo.html With filters - yes defo help if you're wanting to capture good quality cinematic footage especially on bright days. Unlike a lot of conventional cameras most smaller drones have a fixed aperture, so no way to reduce the amount of light hitting the sensor. There are a lot of good vids out there that explain the 'sunglasses for your drone' - I've not done one yet, but this is one of the best : ua-cam.com/video/g6Jld2OXvWs/v-deo.htmlsi=nameNTo0T_RPxPji Happy flying and welcome to the greatest hobby on Earth!
many thanks for the reply, i just watched the video you recommended the other day (5 things to know) on a comment that i forgot that i put on. also watched the active tracking one in your car when it was foggy, Im going to go for the mini 4 now as you seem knowledgeable on them. Thanks for all the tips and advice and look forward to watching your past and future vids @@amoktimeflies
A little difficult to tell without seeing, but I would double check that all of your clips have definitely downloaded to your phone. Hope you get it sorted! 🖖
I’m a bit confused - surely you have to turn it on, otherwise that would be, to quote Freddie, “a kind of magic” wouldn’t it? 😉Do you mean that you can bypass DJI Fly altogether and edit directly in lightcut? 🖖
@@amoktimeflies I watched another video yesterday where they show you can copy videos off via cable to iPad/android without turning it on which they say in video stops it overheating, basically handles like a flash drive
@@LordMothman Oh I see! yes - that’s correct - it’s basically the same way you can do it when you connect it to your computer. The drone acts in the same was as an sd card reader so in that case, yes - no need to power it up. 🖖
You know what? That’s what I wanted to do when I first started flying drones, but sadly no, there isn’t a ‘non mobile’ version. There are plenty of free or relatively cheap editing programs out there though. Personally I went for Davinci Resolve, but you do need a fairly beefy setup to get the most out of it. I’ve not used it, but I know many people swear by CapCut… All the best and thanks for watching 🖖
I am not very good at video editing so downloaded light cut to use with my Min 3 pro. I took some test video on my drone,about 6 mins in total and use DJI fly transferred them to my Samsung TAB 10. I opened light cut went to new project and imported the files and it is taking roughly 20 mins to load and process the file. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong.
Hey Steven - Thanks for watching and your question... Whilst I don't personally have the Samsung Tab 10, 20 minutes does seem excessive for transferring the files. One thing that comes to mind is how much free storage you have on your Tablet - if it's not a lot then it may be taking some time as it has to 're-order' stuff in it's storage to fit your footage in (A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and I'm frikkin' lethal! 😂) Also you didn't mention what format you were shooting in. If it's something like 4K 60fps HDR then those files are BIG, so that may also be a factor. Have a look at this vid and see if it kindof matches your timings. I managed to take a mastershot and get it uploaded to Instagram in less than 7 minutes using an iPhone ua-cam.com/video/ex2BCKFfYsE/v-deo.html (I swear I'm not going to get into and Apple vs Samsung battle here - had too many of them! 😂) Don't know if any of that helps but fingers crossed... 🤞🖖
@amoktimeflies I have watched so many videos on using the mini 3 pro camera its hard to know what is best. I'm not trying to make a Cecil b Demille classic, just a travel dialogue. I often don't know what is best for my purpose.
4K 25 or 30fps should be fine for your purposes (I stick to 30fps as most of my audience is in the US). I'd also advise locking the white balance at around 5500-5600K to stop any weird colour shifting. Leave focus on Auto and you're good to go for any quick clips you want to take. If you're still struggling with performance of your tablet after that, then try dropping down to 1080p. Hope that helps! 🖖
@amoktimeflies that is a great idea on colour temp and also the resolution. These nd filters on drones I do not understandxthe numbering. On normal camera an ND filter is rates as 1 or 2 etc which relates to camera stops, but the drone has things like 64, o surely that can't be 64 stops?
Here you go, Sir! My friends at Freewell have a good explainer for this : support.freewellgear.com/portal/en/kb/articles/filter-guide At the end of the day though, it's not necessarily a case of putting on a specific filter for specific conditions - I tend to use the zebras on the RC controller to work out if I need a filter on, whilst keeping my shutter speed at 1/60 using 30fps. If I'm getting too many zebras then I step the ND filter up one (or basically double the ND number eg ND32 to ND64). Generally though and ND32 is what I use probably 60-70% of the time. 🖖
🤣🤣 I was considering using the area of Wales or how close to the moon it would get, but the latter was just filled with complicated variables. Thanks for your comment - it did make me laugh!
Details matter. Big Ben is the name if the bell. Please, as fly your drone into Big Ben, the bell, not the tower. That'll go well. Hardly any security in that part of London. Cheers from Melbourne Australia. Our Regards to our King, his majesty. 🙂
Used LightCut to edit and added in the music provided by the App. Next thing I knew my clip was labelled “Copyright” by YT, apparently someone claimed copyright to the music … WTH!!!!
Yes - same happened with me on the Native DJI Fly app as well. Shouldn’t cause an issue, however may stop the video from being monetised. Definitely worth emailing Lightcut support though - they’re nice people and actually answer emails quite quickly. Thanks for watching! 🖖
I guess so, although I think Lightcut uses AI to get the 'beats' of the video synced up with the music and also if you notice, the AI has recognised the environment as countryside and put appropriate background noise in too, which I find really impressive given that drones don't record sound... Thanks for watching! 🖖
Well each to their own, but for a quick simple fix and for someone just starting out I think it does a decent job. Would be happy to try out an alternative AI phone based editor for drone footage if you have a suggestion though! 😊 Thanks for watching!
I'm not saying this is a replacement for the hard graft that it takes to edit and produce a full video, but for those with limited time on their hands and/or a limited budget, I think it's a good alternative. At the end of the day the AI has to work with the material it's fed, so there is still the skill of capturing the right images - as they say "You can't polish a turd!" 😂 Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the feedback. I am at the beginning of my UA-cam and editing journey, so please bear with me as I work this stuff out! 😬😀 Every video I edit, I learn something new, but I also want to convey the ‘real life’ experience for the average user as well, rather than a purely slick bishbashbosh vid that may give the viewer an unrealistic impression of how something might work…

Ooh - I’m actually planning a deeper dive vid where I go into manually editing in the app rather than using AI, and it’s not something I tried in my experiments,so thanks for the heads up! Timing of your comment couldn’t have been better! 👍🖖
@@BikesHikesLikes I’ve just spent a few minutes fiddling about and it’s actually SO intuitive that it’s really easy to miss so you might end up kicking yourself 😉😂
Pinch or spread your fingers on the picture itself to crop or zoom back out! Yeh - I was surprised as well! All the best! 🖖
@ thank you! I’ll try it.
So.. the same as Capcut. Gopro Quick.. or the inbuilt apple app? ok thanks,
I think so - it’s an alternative anyway! Thanks for watching!
Can you edit by adding text by using the light cut app?
Hi George - yes there is an option to add your own text 👍
Thanks for watching!
hey amazing video, any idea how to get longer video than 40s in the one tap edit mode?
Thankyou! Oooh - I don’t know, but I’ll try to find out!
Have you tried creating an edit using one tap - then click on ‘edit’ at the bottom of the screen, then ‘edit more’
yes I did , but if I add a video the music doesn’t prolong it self , so I end up with the last piece of video without sound .. but the idea was good :-)
@@AustrianMTBTrails in the ‘edit more’ screen, tap ‘music’ then ‘add more’ and it will show you loads of tracks that you can use - probably including the track that was initially selected (I’m sure with a bit of digging around you’d be able to find it)
May do a follow up video on this as these are all good questions! 🖖
Not yet got a drone but hoping to get one soon, just all the rules and regs that are putting me off. It would be used to do hiking and camping videos mainly so out in the country side / open.
Enjoyed this video and have already subbed. If that fun fact is correct then wow. in the mid to late 80s i had an atari stfm computer as i used it to do midi sequencing in a studio and had to boot the computer up with one inside, how things have changed
i like the way you present you vids, to the point but with a bit not all serious.
fingers crossed you will soon get you subs up. i started my channel about 18 months ago but injured my ankle after only one video but all better now so fingers crossed will get more vids done and my sub s up. The reason i want the drone to make better vids
all the best to you
ps, im looking at the mini 4pro, rc2 combo, do you know if i can put filters on the lens?
Hello Buddy and thank for the sub - much appreciated!
Sorry to hear about your injury, but hopefully things will get motoring on soon!
If I was to recommend anything as a starter kit, but also in general, it would be the Mini 4 Pro fly More combo with the RC2 right now. All the software benefits of the 'big boy' Air3, Mavic 3 etc with the flexibility of being sub 250g, so being able to fly in the A1 Open category (you still must be able to see and detect the orientation of the drone at any time you're flying though! check out this vid : ua-cam.com/video/aUCLujGP1d0/v-deo.html
With filters - yes defo help if you're wanting to capture good quality cinematic footage especially on bright days. Unlike a lot of conventional cameras most smaller drones have a fixed aperture, so no way to reduce the amount of light hitting the sensor.
There are a lot of good vids out there that explain the 'sunglasses for your drone' - I've not done one yet, but this is one of the best : ua-cam.com/video/g6Jld2OXvWs/v-deo.htmlsi=nameNTo0T_RPxPji
Happy flying and welcome to the greatest hobby on Earth!
many thanks for the reply, i just watched the video you recommended the other day (5 things to know) on a comment that i forgot that i put on. also watched the active tracking one in your car when it was foggy, Im going to go for the mini 4 now as you seem knowledgeable on them.
Thanks for all the tips and advice and look forward to watching your past and future vids

Good stuff! You won’t regret it! 👍
I did your steps but when I push the lightcut 'one-tap' edit it does not show all my videos. Any suggestions???
A little difficult to tell without seeing, but I would double check that all of your clips have definitely downloaded to your phone. Hope you get it sorted! 🖖
I use Light Cut to transfer files directly from the drone to to my Android phone - I do not use DJI Fly at all.
Yep - you can do that as well with the mini 3 pro upwards, but not the Neo ua-cam.com/video/ex2BCKFfYsE/v-deo.html 🖖
You can grab stuff off pro 4 without turning it on now
I’m a bit confused - surely you have to turn it on, otherwise that would be, to quote Freddie, “a kind of magic” wouldn’t it? 😉Do you mean that you can bypass DJI Fly altogether and edit directly in lightcut? 🖖
@@amoktimeflies I watched another video yesterday where they show you can copy videos off via cable to iPad/android without turning it on which they say in video stops it overheating, basically handles like a flash drive
ua-cam.com/video/zfjuNN0dVRU/v-deo.htmlsi=vDz-jeX7iZ4PJjxm. 8mins 40
@@LordMothman Oh I see! yes - that’s correct - it’s basically the same way you can do it when you connect it to your computer. The drone acts in the same was as an sd card reader so in that case, yes - no need to power it up. 🖖
Thanks for replying and keep up the great videos
Can I put light cut on my laptop is a Windows HP
You know what? That’s what I wanted to do when I first started flying drones, but sadly no, there isn’t a ‘non mobile’ version.
There are plenty of free or relatively cheap editing programs out there though. Personally I went for Davinci Resolve, but you do need a fairly beefy setup to get the most out of it.
I’ve not used it, but I know many people swear by CapCut…
All the best and thanks for watching 🖖
Cool thank you
I am not very good at video editing so downloaded light cut to use with my Min 3 pro.
I took some test video on my drone,about 6 mins in total and use DJI fly transferred them to my Samsung TAB 10.
I opened light cut went to new project and imported the files and it is taking roughly 20 mins to load and process the file.
Is this normal or am I doing something wrong.
Hey Steven - Thanks for watching and your question...
Whilst I don't personally have the Samsung Tab 10, 20 minutes does seem excessive for transferring the files. One thing that comes to mind is how much free storage you have on your Tablet - if it's not a lot then it may be taking some time as it has to 're-order' stuff in it's storage to fit your footage in (A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and I'm frikkin' lethal! 😂)
Also you didn't mention what format you were shooting in. If it's something like 4K 60fps HDR then those files are BIG, so that may also be a factor.
Have a look at this vid and see if it kindof matches your timings. I managed to take a mastershot and get it uploaded to Instagram in less than 7 minutes using an iPhone ua-cam.com/video/ex2BCKFfYsE/v-deo.html
(I swear I'm not going to get into and Apple vs Samsung battle here - had too many of them! 😂)
Don't know if any of that helps but fingers crossed... 🤞🖖
@amoktimeflies I have watched so many videos on using the mini 3 pro camera its hard to know what is best.
I'm not trying to make a Cecil b Demille classic, just a travel dialogue.
I often don't know what is best for my purpose.
4K 25 or 30fps should be fine for your purposes (I stick to 30fps as most of my audience is in the US). I'd also advise locking the white balance at around 5500-5600K to stop any weird colour shifting. Leave focus on Auto and you're good to go for any quick clips you want to take. If you're still struggling with performance of your tablet after that, then try dropping down to 1080p. Hope that helps! 🖖
@amoktimeflies that is a great idea on colour temp and also the resolution.
These nd filters on drones I do not understandxthe numbering.
On normal camera an ND filter is rates as 1 or 2 etc which relates to camera stops, but the drone has things like 64, o surely that can't be 64 stops?
Here you go, Sir! My friends at Freewell have a good explainer for this : support.freewellgear.com/portal/en/kb/articles/filter-guide
At the end of the day though, it's not necessarily a case of putting on a specific filter for specific conditions - I tend to use the zebras on the RC controller to work out if I need a filter on, whilst keeping my shutter speed at 1/60 using 30fps.
If I'm getting too many zebras then I step the ND filter up one (or basically double the ND number eg ND32 to ND64).
Generally though and ND32 is what I use probably 60-70% of the time. 🖖
If you're going to be serious with your interesting facts, please use the approved unit of measurement - a double decker London bus, not Big Ben. 😉
🤣🤣 I was considering using the area of Wales or how close to the moon it would get, but the latter was just filled with complicated variables.
Thanks for your comment - it did make me laugh!
Details matter. Big Ben is the name if the bell. Please, as fly your drone into Big Ben, the bell, not the tower. That'll go well. Hardly any security in that part of London. Cheers from Melbourne Australia. Our Regards to our King, his majesty. 🙂
Wow thanks buddy! 🇦🇺 and thanks for watching! I’ll pass on my regards to Chuck-o when I next see him! 😉 👑
@@amoktimefliesmy English is perfect. I have no idea how I achieved such a vast number of typos.
Used LightCut to edit and added in the music provided by the App. Next thing I knew my clip was labelled “Copyright” by YT, apparently someone claimed copyright to the music … WTH!!!!
Yes - same happened with me on the Native DJI Fly app as well. Shouldn’t cause an issue, however may stop the video from being monetised.
Definitely worth emailing Lightcut support though - they’re nice people and actually answer emails quite quickly.
Thanks for watching! 🖖
It’s a lot like iMovie creating trailer clips. Nothing really ‘AI’
I guess so, although I think Lightcut uses AI to get the 'beats' of the video synced up with the music and also if you notice, the AI has recognised the environment as countryside and put appropriate background noise in too, which I find really impressive given that drones don't record sound...
Thanks for watching! 🖖
@@amoktimeflies can’t argue with that👍
I’m sorry DJI video app is atrocious
Well each to their own, but for a quick simple fix and for someone just starting out I think it does a decent job.
Would be happy to try out an alternative AI phone based editor for drone footage if you have a suggestion though! 😊 Thanks for watching!
@@amoktimefliesai editor lazy af bro
I'm not saying this is a replacement for the hard graft that it takes to edit and produce a full video, but for those with limited time on their hands and/or a limited budget, I think it's a good alternative. At the end of the day the AI has to work with the material it's fed, so there is still the skill of capturing the right images - as they say "You can't polish a turd!" 😂
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video and it is a simple and quick way to produce and send a video. Also I am a new subscriber.
Thanks Jessie - yes as others have pointed out, just one of the ways, but possibly the quickest, but most flexible IMHO 😀 thanks for the sub 👍
OMG, Sooooooo slow. Learn edit tech.
Thanks for the feedback. I am at the beginning of my UA-cam and editing journey, so please bear with me as I work this stuff out! 😬😀
Every video I edit, I learn something new, but I also want to convey the ‘real life’ experience for the average user as well, rather than a purely slick bishbashbosh vid that may give the viewer an unrealistic impression of how something might work…
