So many have been asking what computer I use, so here it is: amzn.to/2yQt3h9 Yes, I know it's expensive and I could have built it cheaper myself, but I don't have the time, and I bought for the future. This thing can easily be upgraded as time goes on. It's amazing and eats up 4K files. Computer Upgrade Kings has many options in many price ranges. I may just have to do a video on them!

Russ I have been a long time subscriber to your channel. However, much to my great misfortune I never clicked on the notification button and therefore missed out on just about everything. Your channel is, without question, the very best source of information on the net.
I have a Phantom 4 and a Mavic Platinum Pro. I cringe to think how much I could have been learning over the last two years if I had only clicked the notification button.
For the last week I have been looking over your channel. My God! Such a wealth of information and explained so very, very well. Everything I’ve wanted to know about has a video in your channel. 51 Drones is now my winter project. I’ve got a lot to learn and you sir are an outstanding teacher!
Thank you,
Paul Farrell

Well thank you so much Paul!
bullshit, this is Russ's fake account.
edit: lol I'm just messing great stuff :)
Fake account... very unethical. I disliked the video.
@@51Drones please teach us more about beat matching to your video, some music dont have up beats (spikes) in their histogram, how to match those with the clip ?
@Vijval Jain it may not be him, but the comment is fake just to get likes.
Great first step. Yes! Please make this a series. I watched it on my tablet and I couldn’t read what was on the screen. I’ll watch the next one on a bigger screen and hopefully I wont have to use my phone camera ti enlarge it so i can see it better. Content was Great! Thanks
Can't thank you enough. I've recently purchased Sony Vegas (a video editing app), however I find I'm spending more time teaching myself re: the app than I am uploading footage to TH-cam. You make things EZ2Learn. Kudos to 51 Drones on the tutorial and I hope to see more in the future. FlyBoy
I'm glad that someone finally took the time to show the basics in the post-editing process for video publication. As you move forward in the series, I hope that you cover the optimal camera settings for color correction during the post-editing process.
Yes please. The editing side is a big step for me that I need to get my head around. Please keep the videos coming. Much appreciated.
I made the same comment recently to my Quickbooks trainer. I think of editing and bookkeeping
like a language, it takes time to learn! Keep at it, you'll get it!
I have been editing drone and camera footage for a couple of years now using Premiere Pro and I have to admit, when I first opened it, I didn’t have any idea how to use it. This video is PERFECT for illustrating the basic workflow for Premiere Pro. Well done!
I am an iPad user. One program that I have found that is quite powerful is Lumafusion. The app cost $20… One time fee, but is full of very good features. Much more advanced than iMovie, but not as complicated or is intimidating as some of the bigger software programs.
Is any video editing compatible with. Samsung Chromebook 3 right now it is the closest thing to a computer lol
LumaFusion is $30.99 in Australia.
Yeah- on my iPad Pro 10.5 LumaFusion is a buggy mess- see my channel for the video.
Mahesh Walatara Hmmm....mine works great on the original ipad pro.
Never edited video in my life. I'm that guy with all the footage on his Mac. Thank you for unlocking the mentality. Excellent video
Wow. I worked for the company that installed the whole sprinkler system on that golf course in 2001! Its really cool to see it now. At that time, we would have never thought of seeing footage like this.
I for one, really appreciate the beginner-type videos, thank you.
As someone who has only done photo editing, and just got a drone to help with my business and am learning video editing, I really appreciate this good work! You got a new subscriber
Well, Thanks Russ,…here it is 2-18-23, I’m Officially a Drone Pilot Now,(finally), & I Chose “Hitfilm” for My Editing. It’s Daunting @ 1st, but with plenty of potential for Memories in a Relatively Easy Format to Start with. I Purchased the Mini 3 Pro, Brand New a Few days ago & All the Necessary Accessories to Be Successful in Flight 😎👍🙏 I’ve watched Many of your Drone videos over the last 2 Weeks & Learned a lot So far, Thankyou 😎👍 As We say in the Flight Sim World,….”Keep the Blue Side Up” 😎✈️👍
Its amazing to me how many drone videos there are about drones, camera settings, mods, flying tutorials ect,but theres NO videos on editing. I've been flying drones for years but just got into higher quality drones lately. I just bought a DJI Spark and it's very confusing how to edit it s footage. Then theres the go 4 app? I dont know. I'm 40 years old and hate computers but love drones so I have a problem lol. I need to learn how to edit. I'm not reading 4 encyclopedias that came w the spark to learn either. I dont know anyone who flies or edits. So now I'm here. Everyone just says it's not hard and I'll get it easy. This is why many people leave this hobby. Thanks for your videos.
Great edit. One piece that really grabbed my attention is the drab dull colours of the surrounding hillside but then you see the vibrant green (15:20 minute) of a "golf course" right in the middle of the screen
Appreciate the Tutorial
Excellent tutorial Russ, please do more video how-to's! You are differentiating yourself from the ocean of other Drone-Tubers by keeping it friendly and simple for us newbies. You're sharing your learning process with all of us and demystifying this amazing hobby for the everyman. Thanks ... keep up the great work.
Thanks Greg. Everything you said has been the goal of this channel since I started, so I'm so happy it's coming across as that!
4:48 Quick tip. As your projects get larger, you can add folders in your bin to organize the project and find your footage faster.
Also, at the beginning of creating your project file, select a folder on your work drive. I use those small Samsung SSD drives. They're fast. Also, move or copy the footage you want to work with on that drive as well. The advantage that kind of workflow, that it makes it easier to backup the project and clear the work disc when you're done: it's just one folder to move. And all the footage will stay linked correctly.
This applies to most editing software.
~Happy Editing!
Please make more of these awesome training videos. I'm exactly in this boat. Lots of Mavic2 pro drone footage and not knowing how to edit and share them. Thank you!!
Thank you for that video, I’m so new at editing that it can be very confusing and really appreciate the time you have spent on this topic. So many people that say editing for beginners but forget that there are truly real beginners still out there. Hope to see more videos on this.
Thanks a lot! I'd love to see more tutorials about film editing!
Not too hijack your comments section, but I fly my drone, edit my footage. I use Wondershare Filmora which is fairly easy to use. It also has a limited amount of copyright free music.
Yes do more. Maybe show us how to use DJI's editing tool in the dji app as well. HAPPY NEW YEAR
Hun ive been having my phantom3adv for 2 years and i said for get how to use it.
i really like your introductory speech , it helps me to start something new positive...Thank you
Great framework on which to hang future learning. Thanks!
Inked your video, but had a hard time following where you were clicking the curser. Maybe highlight the location of where you are placing the curser. It's easy when you know where every button is like you do, but us beginners can't follow that fast.
Hypercam 2 unregistered sorry just meme, camtasia is good for that lol.. Bandicam could do it but not used that program in like years so i actually dont know how it is anymore is there something with obs you can use to do it? like a plugin?
Again Ross this video is a real value for anyone interested to step forward in aerial footage editing, It’s now time to take serious knowledge because with some arrangement drone footage presentation from your vacation or outdoor activity can be very interesting for your family and friends reunion.
Russ, outstanding work. I can see you have played with this just a bit, lol.... This definitely will be useful for the future for me. Just trying to get used to my Hubsan first then will play with editing like this. thank you love your channel
What an awesome video! One of the best tutorials I have seen on [any] subject! I have been almost exclusively a “still” photographer, avoiding video because I didn’t know how to edit it as well as add and edit music. You just changed that. I’m eager now to get back to those old video files and have some fun. Thank you!
Great video Russ!! Hope to see more.
That tutorial got me to subscribe 😄New mini 4 pro user. I've only watched a few of your videos. I like your straightforward style.
As I'm new to Droning and Videography I appreciate the beginners approach. I'll be following your hopefully many sequences of video processing. Thanks , keep up the good work.
Brilliant Tutorial, thank you, I took your advise a while ago and built up a PC man enough to edit 4K drone footage and have just followed your tutorial to edit my first footage of a wedding I filmed. Great work, thanks. PIB
Very helpful. Additional training would be great. Thank you!
Thx, this showed me realy how to start with it and gave me the motivation to just START!
My Harddrives will thank you from the bottom of there Storage. 😄✔
Brand new to drones and drone flying, but even before I actually got mine (used Mavic Pro, because a friend got the 2) I'd watched most of your videos. Now that I've had it for a few weeks I keep coming back to rewatch and actually follow along. I love that you're still doing videos for the Pro, even though many others have done like my friend and moved up to the 2. I would love to see more on video editing, as its still very foreign to me but this is fine intro to the basics. One thing I would love to see more on is the sequences, such as how you made your custom sequence. Thank you for your videos!
Thanks!
Thanks, Russ really well paced and clear instruction without going over the top. Please do more like this.
Thanks Russ - was wondering how I am going to approach this challenge and here you are with the solution! Looking forward to more info on this subject. Thanks for a great channel. Johan
Excellent tutorial Russ. The next step in playing with the drone and you are doing a wonderful job, Thanks
Very helpful info. Thanks
Excellent video. Nice and easy for beginners.
Watching this in 2021. Very good video and very helpful. Thanks for your videos...
Good stuff ...Looking forward to your beyond basics video! 😉
Excellent job Russ. This is what I was looking for when I commented on your Power Director tutorial recently. Thanks a million!
Thank you for this. Now I have an actual starting point. Have a great weekend.
Yes I would like to see alot more. You are the only youtuber I can relate to, and you explain slowly and detailed. I love all of your video's thanks for being out there. Also a video how to apply LUT's. There are alot of ways but It is all very unclear. I got the Spectrumgrade LUT's but I don't really know how to use them. NEAT video costs 75 euro so the grain filters are useless for me.
I so needed this!!! Having a blast flying and great footage but not knowing what to do with it. This gives me a start! Thanks so much Russ!!
What an awesome video, for someone like me just starting out, this is awesome. Thanks mate, appreciate the effort! Jase
Jason, me too awesome video. I am a newbie just learning. Thanks 51 video.
Hey Russ, In all your tutorials, as helpful as they are, i still seem to find valuable tips and tricks on how to do something that greatly enhances my learning - so a big " Thank you" to yourself. My Father always told me: -" listen; just in case there is something you don't know" I still laugh and value his advice. Pete
Love the tutorial...show us more please!
Hey there Russ, loved the video. I have edited quiet a few videos over the years using iMovie..
So only novice stuff, however learnt so much from your clip... love the vids, great job. Hey from Australia 🇦🇺😊
Very educational! Please go ahead with more video editing tutorials.
Thank you so much for this. Just ordered a drone and want to learn how to edit once I start using it.
Thanks so much for this. I ordered a mavic air 2 today, and already have an Adobe premiere Pro cc subscription! Excited to get that first flight up!
Oh wow. Did a search for editing drone footage, Yours came up on top. Clicked it and be damned, Im no more than a couple hours from Medora. lol Now im gonna watch the video, Thanks in advance!!
Excellent tutorial video. Please continue the series.
Another useful video for a beginner like me.
All editing instructions will be much appreciated 👍
👍🏼 Good on you Russ, I recon the Editing process is fantastic. I love using Final Cut Pro X and think this editing series of videos is a very good avenue for you to expand your channel. I honestly think it is "All about You" my friend - your presentation style - friendly manner and to the subject points - level of production professionalism, it is all good mate. Much love to yu brother ✌🏼
Thanks Spike!
Great. great video. I really hope you continue with part 2! Thank you, Sir !!!!
Very Helpful. Thanks. Would like to see more content like this.
Watched till the end! Very informative, thanks.
Hitfilm express is the software that I am trying to use. I absolutely agree with the statement of it is overwhelming and intimidating software. This type of informative videos is exactly what I need. I truly hope you continue on making these informative videos of how to edit the footage you have. Thank you
That was fascinating I would have never guessed that you build the video around the music. This was very helpful I never considered trying to edit my videos before but now I will have to give it a try with one of the less expensive software tools
THANKS RUSS; JUST SAW YOUR EDITING VIDEO. I NOW BELIEVE I CAN ACUTALLY GET INTO EDITING MY OWN DRONE FOOTAGE.
Russ, this is great. Yes, more of these would be extremely useful. Thank you.
Thanks Russ! I really appreciate the time you put into helping others get started in this exciting hobby! Using your advise I just completed my first drone video!
Mr. Russ,
I absolutely love your training tutorials and look for new ones daily.
One thing that I learned after I started editing my still photographs in Adobe Lightroom ($10.00 per month) is that my laptop monitor is way far off for correct color viewing (color balance). I now use a 27" monitor and import photos and videos into a desktop.
I have recently learned the video post processing can be done in Lightroom and I will be very happy to stay with Lightroom. (Don't know about adding music though)
Thank you for this tutorial. You are awesome.
Thanks for taking the time to do this! I'll have to go with one of the free editors on my budget. I think that the price per month is a little too much, but then I'm not a business minded person. Seems like a lower fee would sell more and get more people interested. Definitely got a new subscriber here!
Love watching your videos, years ago I was stationed at Minot AFB did a lot of local travel when there so your videos bring back many memories for me. Also your way of instruction is awesome I have viewed many of your TH-cam videos and learned much from each, it’s motivated me to use my GoPro Hero5&7 more and my Christmas present Mavic Air to film here along the Gulf coast of Florida! Thanks and keep giving great instruction keep up the good work.
Thanks for your service and Happy New Year!
Your intro was talking to me... Thanks for this video
Editing Part 2 of my 2019 reel compilation right now lol
Lol that’s so funny lol
Lol lol lol lol
Series please. This was super helpful.
Well I guess I need a lot more videos like this. And a kinda step by step guide.
ok! that was a realy clear How to for me Thanks!
Great stuff, Russ. I've been using Pr for a while and I picked up a few gems from your video. Thanks. Subscribed.
Very helpful and well presented. I look forward to more of the same. Thanks.
Yes, please make a series out of this. Since this is aimed at noobs it would be nice if you could do it with free software however. I just subscribed cuz of this vid! Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks!
thanks for this video .funny thing is ive been looking for a how to video on editing again thanx keep 'em coming
Good video. A series would be great for us newbies.
Russ, thanks! Looking forward to seeing more.
Keep em coming...just starting in Premiere...found it very helpful...
As a complete beginner I'd like to see more about video editing please. It is a daunting prospect even for an old 35mm photographer.
Like me "old 35 mm photographer" and my old twin lens reflex...dark room...my things have changed
amazing video I learned so much from this video keep up the good word :)
Great video! Very helpful!
Thanks Russ looking forward for more shows like this one very good information.
You made me subscribe your channel😊
Interesting video! I will be looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials on editing videos.
Been waiting for this!! Thanks Russ!
Enjoyed your clear and concise video editing 101 effort. I would indeed like you to continue your video editing series. Thanks
Thank you for this video. Love your work
Dave Come to Australia sometime.
Hello Russ, thank you very much for this beginners tutorial for Adobe Premiere. As a newbie to video editing, this video was beneficial and informative. I would appreciate seeing further videos like this one to expand my skills and knowledge in video editing. Yes, I am one of those drone pilots that have Gigs of footage sitting on hard drives just waiting for a break in my work schedule to learn Adobe Premiere and to start my video editing. Sorry for being last to this party but my work schedule has had me backed up for months. I truly appreciate your reviews, news updates and especially tutorial videos like this one, thank you for your time and efforts helping the drone community.
Great video, I would definitely like to learn more. Thank you.
Great Video. Keep them coming. All the best from Norway. Thumbs up for you :)
Hey Russ. Thanks for all your work and sharing your knowledge. This video made me go buy a computer to hopefully get my videos of better quality. Could we see a video on editing for the extreme novice guys like me. Lol! Thanks again.
Cool will stay tuned
Excellent tutorial
This is great. Thank you for the ideas and the tutorial on how to put it together. I have a project in mind with my Mavic 2 but was way overcomplicating and overanalyzing things. This helped
Outstanding work sir thank you very much I am very interested in this process, I dig your content. Just got a mini and looking forward to making my own videos
Great video, thanks for sharing! Big like from me!
