    First Impressions (not a review) > DJI GROUND STATION PRO app So DJI released and updated GS Pro app which enables you to create WayPoint Routes (without flying them first), Virtual Fence and 3D Map Area. I have no practical use for "Virtual Fence" where you can setup an area in which the drone...

    CEO of DJI Frank Wang admits software issues causes flyaways - P3 not perfect.

    Very interesting article about Frank Wang, founder of DJI. For the first time ever DJI acknowledges in print, what a lot of Phantom owners have known: Phantoms fly away due to software issues. Also a lot of talk about Colin Guin's depart from the company. It's a bit Inspire related too, as CEO...

    SSD for OS & Programs or as a Storage Drive

    Re: SSD for OS & Programs or as a Storage Drive Not true. RAID 5 will be faster than your SSD as the drives each ads to the speed. Upwards of 700-1000 MB/s. But by fast, we are talking read/write speed here. If you're talking about speeding up your render time in your editor, it's a matter of...

    GoPro cuts 4K video in two

    " In any case, you can reconstitute a full-length video clip with no dropped frames from the chaptered source files." Then it's no problem - that was my only concern. And splitting the file up also makes is easier to leave out unwanted footage when picking stuff to transcode to ProRes and thus...

    GoPro cuts 4K video in two

    GoPro Support just called me back on this issue so I just wanted to provide the answer myself ;-) 1) The camera splits up the files automatically and it's a normal procedure - called Chaptering - for a couple of reasons, but one benefit is that if the SD-card gets corrupted, there's a good...

    GoPro cuts 4K video in two

    Hi, I use the HERO4 Black - on a Phantom 2 with Zenmuse H3-3D gimbal - and often shoot in 4K/25. But the GoPro cuts the video file in two: a) I see this even for a short shot (fx. 14 minutes) b) The GoPro is recording prior to take-off, and not touched until stopped after landing. c) The SD...

    Export Frame from Hero4 4K/25 - low quality?

    That's the setting for Hero3 - are they the same for the 4?

    Export Frame from Hero4 4K/25 - low quality?

    Yes, you're right. I just thought the file size would be much higher from the 12MP photo. Unfortunately the Image Quality is not as impressive (or not impressive at all) compared to the video quality.

    Export Frame from Hero4 4K/25 - low quality?

    So, I switched to Camera mode. Settings are: 12MP Wide, ProTune On, Single Shot. But photos are still only 3-4 MB in file size. The Hero3 Black made a 4.2MB photo, while the Hero4 Black made a 3.5 MB photo? Why am I not getting around 8MB file sizes for my photos?

    Export Frame from Hero4 4K/25 - low quality?

    Yeah, well apparently I mistakenly thought that a frame grab would also be a 8MB file, as it's a 3840x2160 frame. But it makes sense that it's only the cam that produces that big a file size and a screen grab is much smaller (lower IQ)

    Export Frame from Hero4 4K/25 - low quality?

    Hi, I apologize if this question is off topic for this forum, but it is - kind of - regarding editing. When exporting a single frame from a 4K/25 videoclip (using FCP X) on the new GoPro Hero4 Black, the exported versions are a choice of a .PSD (108MB), or .TIFF (66MB), or .JPG (3.1MB). IQ...

    @nftrix Thanks. Stabilization in FCP X helps a lot.

    @redrydermedia appreciate the critique...and I agree. Unfortunately I didn't have time to make more footage, and it's a bit far to easily go back and do again. But I get your point and it's taken into account for the next try.

    Thanks. Didn't have too much footage to work with but shooting at sunrise is great.
