OMG! I have been struggling with this for months ever since I bought the Mavic Air 2! And people keep explaining to convert it in Premier and it’s just a nightmare. The simple right click encoding saved my life! Thank youuuuuu.
Do you think D-log and HLG are still present when converting down to H.264? I'm more into photography so this video stuff is kinda over my head at the moment.
I don't think the 180 degree rule has anything to do with jittery footage. In fact this "rule" is irrelevant in a great percentage of drone footage. It really only applies to situations where you are very close to a moving object (or you're moving) and blur is created. It wouldn't apply if you are doing video of a mountain or buildings, unless you are very very close.
Thanks for your input! In the tests I have performed myself I have noticed that the lack of natural motion blur has CONTRIBUTED to giving footage a jittery appearance because the rapid transition from frame to frame is made ever slightly more noticeable due to the lack of that motion blur - especially when the computer is struggling to process the video. It’s just one piece of the puzzle. Thanks!!!
Awesome tips Dan! Yet to have my drone but when I do this tip will help a lot. Thanks again bro and keep your awesome contents flowing till you hit 1000.. oh yeah! 👊😎
@@danielporterAZ yeah! For sure bro! Though I have the money now but I will delay it a bit for smart financial plan since I just lost my job bcoz of this Covid s*ht! You will be few of the first person to know when I did get it 😁👍
Hi Dan, I have a meek old DJI Spark and it records in H.264. I never could understand why it doesn't produce the artefacts I see in it's up market brethren. And Thanks for the tips 👍
Just a question, is the stock footage (?) that you use at 0:29 with the cactuses also considered jittery/choppy? I think it is, very much so as well. Is this also due to the things you explain in the video
Good catch! No the shot of the cactuses was actually my own footage with the original gangster; the 1st generation Mavic Pro. The reasoning for the slight jitters in that footage is because it was 30fps footage placed on a 24fps timeline. I plan on covering FPS and timelines in a future video.
Hello and good afternoon, I would like to say very good informative video. One question, are you saying that I could record in H265 then bring it home on the computer and change it to a H264? To get rid of the lag in the video? Thanks for your feedback.
Hey sorry about that I end up watching the video twice but I sent the question before I watched it the second time I was in the middle of cooking while watching your videos so I didn't really get everything the first time I watched it but I appreciate it thank you sir
Hi, thx for informative video. Will this apply to "broken lines" when filming power lines / thin lines also? Having a lot of issues with this shooting 4K and downsample to HD. Thx in advance!
I just got my mini 3 Pro drone and took it up and when I do video playback on my computer, I find that forward and backward video is fine and smooth, but panning left and right is jagged... micro stuttering abit... makes it almost hard to watch. Of course the faster I twist left to right the worse it is... is there a setting I can set that will make turning left or right video as smooth as forward and backward motion? I have it in 4K 30 FPS HQ but it is in H265... and the SD card I use is a high speed card...
I would start by working on making smooth movements in flight in all directions…also try shooting in Cine mode rather than normal or sport mode….the gimbal can only do so much-especially when panning left to right. Also, something I didn’t cover in this video that I would like to in a later video is editing on the correct timeline. If you’re shooting in 30fps or 60fps make sure you are editing on a 30fps timeline. If you shoot at 24 or vise-versa the program will have to drop frames to fit it into the timeline in your post edit.
I brought a mini 3 pro about the same time and it has the exact same problem. I took it back to the store, they agreed it was a warranty. Amazing little drone though
My problem is my footage looks good but when I send it to people they say the video is in bad quality or If I want to post it on Instagram really bad quality
@@danielporterAZ well i bought my drone three weeks ago the footage look clean but whenever I put it on Instagram it gets super blurry like 144p type shit
@@Shoobgamer1 do you have an iPhone? If so, use Airdrop to transfer your files from your computer to your phone before uploading. This will maintain as much quality as possible because IG compresses it. In export settings from your editing software select Webhosting. This helps as well.
@@danielporterAZ @Daniel Porter @Daniel Porter amazing it worked hey thank you so much I've seen your channel and, you do great content my man I'm subscribing now
I had that same issue, it's something to do with cramming more fps into a smaller area so the timeline removes frames to compensate so I then just made the timelines 29.97fps on FCPX and as long as I record the same fps it's fine. I'm not sure how others incorporate different frame rates into a timeline as I get jittery footage when I do that.
Yeah, the 23.98 fps timeline can accept only 23.98 fps so the extra 6 or so frames from your 29.97 fps footage get dropped. Easiest way to fix it is to slow down the 29.97fps footage to 80% so it plays back at 23.98 fps
@@hankfink5412 That was my problem, I was thinking if you put 30fps on a 24fps timeline in would play the 30fps at 24fps but it was interpolating I think and looking jumpy. If I "Interpret" the 29.976 to 23.98 and add to a 23.98 time line I get the slowed down smoother effect I'm after.
hey brother, awesome stuff, I was having this exact issue. QUESTION: I try to encode to what metrics your specified and it seems to be creating the copy but still of lower quality. Any ideas?
You're a legend for this fix. Just got the drone and Was literally getting ready to return the damn thing. Best wishes

Dude. You just saved me so much stress. I've been searching for an answer as to why my $1200 drone looks like a potato for days.
Glad it helped bud!!!

@@bleepbleepohio I shoot all my drone footage in D-log to set me up for color grading. I’ve never had an issue encoding it. I’ve never shot in HLG
Cheers dude, probably the clearest explanation I heard of this issue yet.
Thanks for watching!

Wooow so much better! I see this all the time in footage from drones.
That was the best tutorial matey thank you. Perfect.
Thanks for the tips Daniel! Been trying to find an easier way to fix this major hiccup. Very helpful.
Daniel, great work! , By chance are you in Arizona?
I am.
Good video man! I appreciate you taking the time to point out the issues.👍👊
very important thing, much more from pixel counting etc. good thing to be reminded again, how to do it right. thnx.

Another video down still nothing works ...... 2K down the drain for me so far. I use a variable ND filter follow the 180 rule and still chop suey
How old is your computer dude?
Hey it worked! Thanks! Does this lose quality of video? I think my video quality is worser now. Encoded to 4k h264
It shouldn’t. I’ve never had that issue
This just happen to me with the dji fpv and i was mad until i saw your video. Thanks
Thanks for watching!!!

Keeping your shutter speed half your frame rate is the best combatant against that issue.
Is there a way to check the shutter speed in post? I couldn't find it under file properties, just see the frame rate.
I don’t think so...
Rats man, tried this and it's still jittery choppy garbage. Tried custom settings and on auto and it's still crap. Hate it!
Thank You Daniel!
I use DLoG - 4K 30 - but when I upload the videos to premiere pro. Why does my videos look 1080p?
When you create a project you need to select the property resolution that you plan to export that project in once finished.
I just got my mini 3 Pro drone and took it up and when I do video playback on my computer, I find that forward and backward video is fine and smooth, but panning left and right is jagged... micro stuttering abit... makes it almost hard to watch.

My footage looks fine before editing but if I add the 29.97fps drone footage to a 23.98fps timeline it gets jumpy in the final rendered video.
That’s interesting
I had that same issue, it's something to do with cramming more fps into a smaller area so the timeline removes frames to compensate so I then just made the timelines 29.97fps on FCPX and as long as I record the same fps it's fine.

hey brother, awesome stuff, I was having this exact issue. QUESTION: I try to encode to what metrics your specified and it seems to be creating the copy but still of lower quality. Any ideas?
That’s weird. Are you selecting 4K resolution when selecting the new códec?
@@danielporterAZ yessir. Idk why it’s basically just making a copy without making the change.
Interesting-what year and model is Mac?
Great tips thanks
Thanks for watching!
WOW I HAD NO IDEA YOU COULD ENCODE FROM MAC DIRECTLY INSTEAD OF ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER WOW!!
When my shutter speed is twice my frame rate it is crazy over exposed and idk what to do
Nd filters bud.
What about if you don't have a MAC
You just need to find some third party encoding software
@@danielporterAZ like what? can you suggest us?
i love you
It jitery on the crystalsky monitor
Crystal sky is over rated…
