Impressive that you have your Part 107 with less the 4 hrs flight time. Used to hike and rock climb near Brunswick, pretty area for drone flying.

My drone is one week old, and I am creeping up on six hours now... I have often thought about charging for photography and a Google search told me the Part 107 would be a must... So, I focused on studying for that and took it. I'm glad to get it under my belt. Now I can focus solely on UAV practice, photography, and business ideas.

My latest 4K video is a flight over the Potomac River with a revealing riser to view Brunswick from the river's edge. It was a little spooky, because the gusts were 25+ and a drop in the Potomac would not end well...

I do not know Final Cut. However, are you setting your output to be 3840×2160 at 30fps? I wonder if your somehow (accidentally) cropping, based on a preset resolution setting? That was one of my problems. The software defaults to a lower resolution.

I think I was exporting at 4096 x 2160 and it should be 4096 x 2304.
