    Is 4k really that hard to deal with?

    I'm using a Mac and original had a difficulty dealing with 4K video. I always shoot 4K so that in the future I will always have best quality output. The eureka moment came when I learned about "proxy media" in FCP X. It take a bit longer rending the original content but once it is done you can...

    More channels hack

    For those you may have run into the same problems. I have tried your procedure but was stopped by an apparently empty folder. Instead it was invisible. I was able to reveal it using these instructions...

    WHAT?! Subtitle files appeared

    I never use dji app for editing. But my question remains unanswered. Can you edit .srt file along with the video file so that the data displayed corresponds "exactly" to the edited movie file? The thing is that every video and photo can be improved with removing ie. quick Lt. Rt. movements...

    Pursuing a refund - Flyaway not found...

    I've experienced this 'type of behaviour" when flying near metal. Apparently it totally screws up the compass and your ability to input directions and engages in a random flightpath. If you took off on concrete it might have been the rebar used to stabilize the mortar. I hope you will finally...

    What computer is everyone using to edit 4K video?

    I'm using a 1 year old Mac with 256 SSD and 8GB Ram with another 4Gb on video card. Although it appears sufficiently fast I find that it bogs down from time to time. I try to keep adequate SSD dive space free for faster access by moving unrelated files to an additional external HD from time to...

    WHAT?! Subtitle files appeared

    Has anyone edited their footage where some areas are removed? Than run the rendered movie with the .srt file. My question is "does the captioned information sync with new shorter movie file?" I know it will display the captioned info but it may not line up to what's actually playing. If not, is...

    P3P Filming a boat

    Very nice indeed. It looks as though you were pretty low at times. . 20 ft.? Not a lot of room for error.

    Aftermarket tracking

    I lapel use Trackimo which I really love and their response to service requests was fast and efficient. You may look at your area of use or vacation spots as they stated when I couldn't get connected. "Currently we only work on the Rogers (Canada) / AT&T and T-Mobile in North America."

    Landing on ship

    I agree however I don't think it had an effect on the launch. I have seen where the P3 red arrow icon was not properly aligned with the live map view and the dji app did not request a calibration. I will calibrate if I'm moving around a lot. Do you know if this can specially cause harm? Thanks.

    Landing on ship

    After 83 flights, yesterday I had what looked like a compass error anomaly. I was in the back yard of a friend with fairly tall grass and decided to launch off the top of his parked car sitting there. Since I was more than 20 mi from my last launch site I did a routine successful calibration...
