Vertical Studio - Looking for Beta Testers
- Thread starter Neil Mathew
- Start date
Hi all,
Today we are announcing a brand new feature for VS beta (Android).
We heard from a lot of you guys that you'd like to see more automated flight control in Vertical Studio, to film interesting shots using the simplicity that visual tracking allows. One of the most common shots we've all done is the visual orbit, but flying a beautiful circle around a subject is far from straight forward.
The standard way to film an orbit in DJI GO, and other apps you're familiar with, is to open a satellite map view, pick a point of interest, a radius, altitude and speed before starting an orbit. We find this seriously tedious. So we’ve built a different version of orbit, leveraging the core tracking functionality that lets you select any subject in the camera view and touch a single button to orbit.

I used my mates laptop with Adobe After Effects. It's a pretty hefty price. From scratch it took me 5 hours to do 30 seconds of video. I was bored at work and needed a challenge for the day.
Ended up with about 30 layers of objects in the video. Pretty sure a pro would do it in 1/2 hour but I'm just learning. There's some great object tracking features in there. That's how I got the coins to stay still relative to the ground. The coin was just an animated gif I got off the interweb from a free gif site.
It costs $29 p/m to buy the product. They charge by the month not for it outright. Maybe I need to look for a cheaper solution as my mate needs his laptop back after xmas.

Slight break in the weather today in the UK so would love to test this today. When is it going to get released Neil?Hi all,

Hi Neil, is this new features operative yet? If not do I need to update the present app? Thanks Ian.
Hi, I am still waiting for beta testing in iOS very excited, just wondering for how much do you expect to sell the app when it launches? I am trying to decide if I should wait for the app to launch for buying it or just invest in another app

Yes it is
. You should be able to update the app and get the new orbit feature! You can check if you have the exact release like so: Do I have the latest release?
The beta version is free! We haven't finalized pricing yet but tracking is going to be a free feature always. So you're welcome to sign up for the beta or the production version and try it out whenever you like.
Hi Neil, I am still on the .3 version and even though I have the app installed it is not showing in the Google play store to update from. How do I get the latest update on to my app? Thanks Ian

You're right about the setting up being tedious for some apps. Litchi for instance let's you set things up ahead of time, which has its advantages - saves time and battery power in the field - and would seem to be a good idea if you want a very controlled flight. For me it has two major disadvantages, one being the paucity of clear and detailed instruction, resulting in a lot of trial and error, but the major disadvantage for me is that my phone is always out, to some degree, in terms of locating me accurately. As a result I'm not sure whether the flight plan I plot is going to be the one that's followed.
I would like a function that allows me to plot a course ahead of time - with simpler choices or good documentation - but in the field, if I see that there is a difference between where I want the copter to take off, say, and where it thinks I want it to take off, I want a simple way of offsetting that difference that will affect everything I've plotted. So if I've plotted a course and it's out by 10 metres (I often live in the car park next to my house, or occasionally in the neighbour's house, for instance) I want to be able to drag the locator to where I actually am, so the copter doesn't fly into trees it would otherwise avoid by 10 metres. Or is it just me?
Hey Ian,
Can you try uninstalling the app and reinstalling using the email link I sent you ? I think it may be because you have that special apk I sent you for the video decoder debugging. Let me know if that works for you.
Cheers
Sorry for the delay! I'll be sending out a few more invites shortly. We're just batching the invites so we can give folks individual attention with any installation issues they may be having.
Cheers
Wouldn't it be nice if there was like a Gallery that displayed the top 10-15 different videos that showed this software in action?
