Video Editing for Drone Beginners, what Video Editor Software app is good

If you own a drone with good specs, you may like to go outdoors and take pictures and videos, for sharing on your social media account, with friends, and family. Sometimes to post them public, and sometimes to share it privately. No matter who your audience are, you want to show them the best of your video, and impact them with a nice video you filmed with your nice drone, right?


On this post, you'll find:

*Possible issues with your computer for Editing

*What your audience expectations

*How to not infringe copyright terms 

Some drone beginners, will focus on the drone, and how to learn to flight, and make cinematic shots. But, if you are reading this, probably, you want to know what to do with your videos, or perhaps you are struggling trying to edit them. So you are in the right post, let's start:

Why the computer slow down when you try to edit your drone videos?

— If the video quality is 4k, or 2k, it also means that the video file is big. Can your computer manage large video files? I know you want the best quality possible, but if your computer can't manage them, a 4k or 2k video is not the right resolution for you. 

* Consider to use 1080p resolution @30fps or less. This way, you are working with a smaller file size and your computer should work fine.

* Check if your computer has too many files, like videos or pictures. Maybe your hard disk is not performing well. Of course, you need to check your computer specs, maybe you need a computer with a better processor, more ram, a decent graphic card, etc. But also consider consulting an expert about what's the best computer for you. If you want to know what computer I use, please leave a comment below.

* If you have a good computer, you need to check for viruses, malware, or software installed that could be working on the background, and keeping the processor too busy. 

* Another thing is, the video editor software. When I bought my DJI Mavic Air 2 drone, it came with 3  months free of Adobe Premier. But not all computers can work smooth with that kind of heavy software, even when it's considered the best for professionals. There are other editors, more user-friendly, like VideoPad, and Movavi. I use Movavi video editor Plus. For more info about Movavi Software, visit my 30% off offer link: http://www.mvvitrk.com/hf4Lt1 

What people are expecting to watch on your videos:

If you are a beginner, probably you are more excited about your video content than most of your audience. There are things that most of the audience likes in general. Let's mention some:

— Stories. People love stories, so you should become a good storyteller. One of the formats I enjoy the most (this is my opinion), has this order:

1. First 6 seconds, a small video clip, of the most important part of your video, or 15 seconds of the Drone Pilot talking about the video.

2. Six seconds of intro with sounds and/or music.

3. A clip that shows various of dimensions. The drone going up, showing a tree or a hill, and then appears what's behind the tree, and as the drone go up, you see a park, mountains, buildings, a lake, or the ocean. All depends on the interesting  spots of the place you filmed. 

4. Movements. People walking, animals, or moving vehicles, etc. 

5. Between the 50% and 75% you should show the most impacting  clips. The full part of what you showed as a preview at the beginning. Other than that, I don't like repeated parts, or too similar clips on different parts of the video. 

6. I like video that mix clips on land, and clips from the air. I also like the end of the video when show a person or people walking away, or some scene that shows a culmination. Maybe the landing, maybe the droner walking away with the drone or the bag in the hand. Just use your creativity.

YouTuber Copyrights and Royalty Free Music and Videos:

If you use YouTube, and you don't want to infringe copyrights, use original videos and music. But good news, there are music, sounds, and videos royalty free. I use Videvo.net as a source of Royalty Free videos. 

Videos: I pay $3.99USD, but is for use the video, without the need of putting credits to the video creator. 

Music: I use music from my YouTube Audio Gallery. YouTube offer thousands of Royalty Free Music on its audio gallery. You don't need to pay for that, and you have unlimited music and sounds download. In some cases you need to put credits on the description, but YouTube will tell you when you click the download button. 

Tags for SEO: We are in a new ERA. Learn that the algorithms now, can read text on your video. The new way to add tags to your video, even when not everybody will agree with me, it's to add text in the video. You can use your video editor to add text to your video. If you have questions about this, leave a message below. I'll be more than happy to answer. 

I hope you find this useful. If so, share this post with other droners. 

If you have a Drone YouTube Channel, leave a comment with the link. I'll watch your videos.

Is the Drone Fimi X8SE 2022 Ready to Compete with the Big Leagues. See the Specs and Compare (check X8SE 2020 vs X8SE 2022 here)

Can Fimi repeat their goal to compete with the big companies? Can they make a whole in the pocket of the leaders? Will they be able to take the off potential costumers, from the list of the competitors, with this drone? If you want to see more, after you read this, visit:   https://www.trendmerica.reviews/2021/09/everything-that-is-known-about-fimi.html Fimi have been surprising us with high quality products, specially with Smartphones, and also with other electronics. Don't think that their products are counterfeit of other products that has been in the US market for longer time. I have owned, fly and tested Fimi drones in the past, and they are not bad at all. And the best is what you get for less money.  On the prior post about this drone, I amazed by the fact that they had the drone on AliExpress, and the list didn't contain the specs. The price wasn't set to compete with the leaders, and there were questions about the Fimi X8SE 2022 listing. So I contacted Fimi, and f

MacWheel LNE-16 Electric Bike eBike, Pros and Cons, the good and bad. Electric Bike Review.

Note: This post does not have the intention to sell anything. This is for information purposes only.  On the Amazon Prime Day in year 2020, I bought a couple of E-Bikes, from different brands. I will talk for the one I consider the best one, and what I've made to make it more reliable. That one is the MacWheel LNE-16. First the pros, the good things about it: -They say that you can go at 15.5mph (24.94 km/h), and I tested that with the APP Speedometer (69) from Cool Niks, and it's true, you can ride at 15.5mph Full Electric, without pedaling, or 18mph (28.97 km/h) with assistant pedaling. You can also test it with Google Maps APP. -The 250W Motor, can support more weight than what the specs say, but more weight uses more battery. I tested it with 145lbs with person and cargo, using assisted pedaling for 2 hours non-stop trip, flat road. Then I tested with 175lbs, for 1.7 hours non-stop trip. And then 1.1 hours with a little more of 300 pounds (136.08 kg), person and cargo, assi
