LightCut - DJI's Officially Recommended Video Editor
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- In this video, we are taking a look at some free drone video editing software called LightCut. This video editor is unique in the fact that DJI is officially recommending to use this editor with their drones and cameras such as the Action 2 and the Osmo Action 3. One of the main features of this video editing software is you can connect wirelessly to the DJI Mavic 3 series or the DJI Mini 3 Series drones and get real-time previews of the footage on the memory card, edit, and export without having to copy the footage over to your smartphone first, saving you a lot of time and storage space. This video editing software is AI-driven and can allow you to edit interesting clips with your drone footage for social media with just a few taps. In this video, I give a basic overview and tutorial of the LightCut app, how to use it, and how to connect to your DJI products.

Thank you! Our family bought our first drone and action camera (Mavic Mini and Action 3). Been loving them, and will definitely download this editing app. Your tutorials are so helpful. 🙏
Awesome I’m glad you enjoyed it
Everything brilliantly explained! Made a clip within minutes of watching your tutorial.
I've been messing around this app as well. And I find it very useful for short clips. Great demo Shawn, I picked up a few tricks. Thanks for sharing.
This is a wonderful tutorial. You have a clear presentation style. I'm on vacation and shooting a lot and needed to edit my clips. I didn't realize how capable Light Cut was and the advantage of connecting to the drone directly. Thank you for the inspiraiton.
Nice tutorial. I have a lot of video clips I’d like to edit together and share online but just get lazy knowing I have to import it all and sit down at the computer. This app looks pretty intuitive and easy to use on the phone. 👌🏻
Thank you one of the best tutorials I’ve seen!
Thank you for this tutorial, Shawn! This will be handy for publishing direct to social media from the field.
it's crazy that this app is for free... absolutely love it
me too. one of the many reasons why i bought osmo action 4. Love it and love the app
this is like fifth video by you that I am watching while charging my batteries for my new mini 3 (which I bought based on your video lol).. Great app, easy to use! Learned some new tricks
Been using the app for a while but you’ve provided a couple of extra tips I was unaware of 👍🏻
Thank you for your efforts to explained it in details!!! Best tutorial ever! 🙌👏👏
Just did my first video with light cut AMAZING im not that savy with this stuff but you guys have made it easy and the video is so helpful.🤩🤩
I honestly enjoyed and learnt a lot from your video.
Thank you for the brilliant presentation.
Looks like a great way to edit your footage while on the go thank you for taking the time and share this tutorial Cheers.
Thanks for this interesting tutorial. Immediately installed....
Such a great content, very precise and in-depth. Thank you... a lot ! ✋🙂
Brilliant tutorial! I hardly ever leave comments but this was such a good video! Thank you so much, so helpful and clearly explained✨
Great video ..this a easy to use app with great results worth trying …thanks for bringing it to the attention of others in our hobby…
Thank you very much for this Sean. I have been editing on the iPad, using iMovie, after pulling in all those huge 4k files, and laboriously sifting through and reviewing section after section, doing what limited editing is available. Though I see the ‘cookie-cutter’ argument, this is nothing short of miraculous, for when you are out and about flying and shooting all day, and just wanting to send a quick edit to friends and family, showing them what you were up to. I am for sure converting to LightCut as soon as I have downloaded the app. This just made my month, thank you.
Mine doesnt have the option to export into 4k, how about you? I’m on iPad Pro 11”
Like you, I have used iMovie for more than 560 videos on MacBook and while I actually enjoy the process (cutting to the beat of the music is a favourite!) it does take time. How have you found it it? The issue I can see is that the music will bring up copyright strikes when I upload to RUclips. 😞However I suppose I can delete the music and substitute a similar tempo from YT library. It certainly sounds good to me so I will download it now onto my iPhone. It will be useful especially on holidaay abroad when I don't bring my MacBook Pro but often bring the iPad. Sean is fanastic isn't he? I've watched a number of his already for Mini 3 Pro. Excellent, calm and clear.
what are you talking about? this doesn't have 4k option. it is lame. I prefer youcut. it is the best free app you can get.
I just got this and it’s so easy to use and makes newbies like me look good.
Really useful and helpful tutorial. Thank you
Thanks for this. Me and my wife have found it very helpful.
You are a natural. Voice is clear and easy to the ears. Looking forward to more. Subscribed.
Wow, thank you!
It seems exactly like Capcut but with the ability to edit straight from the drone, I'll definitely try this out, thanks Sean and have a happy St. Patrick's Day ☘️
Excellent! thank you so much, very good tutorial. Cheers.
I wish this editor was on PC too since I like it but for big stuff I am limited by storage space on my device so PC would be great!
SUPER HELPFUL. THANK YOU!
Not yet done any drone videos as new to this, but have to say the clips with the train and the fast music was really cool. really added that feeling of running or getting away in a hurry, well i think so lol
Nive video thank you
Excellent tutorial. It seems to connect right up to my Osmo 5 handheld, and on an old iPhone 6. Looking forward to trying it out. Thank you.
Thank you Shawn! Another very helpful tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
The APP UI looks very refreshing and clean！
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I am looking for! 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Great I’m glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for this sir. Haven't tried it yet but it's strange that the description for the app in the Google Play store mentions nothing about being able to read directly from certain DJI devices. Not doubting that the feature exist as you demonstrated it in the vid. It's a stand out feature that seperates it from the other mobile video editing apps out there particularly for DJI users. Also I'm sure it works on Android tablets..I'll let you know
Much appreciated very helpful nice one 👍
This is perfect for a quick short for the mini 3s vertical abilities. Make a quick short after landing and edit the ‘proper’ footage at home on the computer. Ideal.
On what progam you edit it at home?
Glad I found you dude, great tutorial. Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
WOW, that's Fantastic, Thank You.
Awesome tutorial.. i learned some stuff that i was looking for in Lightcut
Excellent video sir. No fluff, just good content 👍
Great video, just trying to develop a few skills in moto vlogging having invested in an Action 3 and DJI mic, this will be so helpful as my editing skills are at an early stage😉
Thanks for another great video. learning a lot!
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for the content will give it a try 👍
Thanks, I think I’ll give this a try
Great tutorial - thanks for sharing this 👌
What a great app, thanks for the video
Thanks for this I have this issue, yet to try but will do today! Great videos!
Glad it helped!
Cheers so much Sean just came across this by accident 😊
Thinking of getting the new Pocket 3 next year and using this
Game changing features
DJI outdoing the competition
Thanks for the tutorial as well so ewsy to follow ❤
Indeed, pocket 3 is incredible. DJI has a wonderful lineup right now to suit any need and budget
Your videos always help ty bro👍👍
Glad to hear that
I just made my first video ever . am simple dude who love to drive his bike and film it .. your videos was simple and helpful I Thank you from the heart good Sir keep up the good work :)

Wow, thanks!
Great info!!😎
It was very helpful ! .
What a great video! Thank you sooooooooooo much!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Useful tutorial amazing app👌I made my Dji Osmo action 3 videos Thanks to you playing with the spp 🙏 Subscribed👍
Thanks for the sub!
Good tutorial and video Shaun
Thanks 👍
Much thanks from a newbee with a Mavic 3.
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you too!
I've been having so many issues with the Lightcut app not allowing me to select my Action 4's footage. Your cellular data toggle hack helped me fix this and successfully export a video using the One-Tap Edit feature. Thank you!! I was going crazy thinking the app just was never going to allow me to use the AI edit feature. If you'd be willing to, please make a video about your experience with this cell data bug during device import in the Lightcut app. Doesn't have to be an official fix; just your experience and demonstration. There's so many people out there with this issue, and support threads on DJI or Reddit aren't offering any solution. Cheers!!!
Omg thos is a perfect editing software for me thank you thank you for introducing this to us!!!!!
It has gotten even better since this video was made. They’ve made a lot of improvements and added a lot of new features.
@@AirPhotography I downloaded last night made a vodeo in like 2 min and it was awesome can't wait to create my own it's so easy and has so many features!!!!
Great👌 thx
I love it
Nice thank you
Hi Sean. Thanks for the tutorial. I feel like there is room for another 3 tutorials on this software. I wanted to add some voice over recorded on the micro sd in DJI controller via lark. I have subscribed if you do. 👍👍👍
I have moved from DaVinci Resolve and replaced it with CapCut, but rather than move from that, I will add this to the learning curve since it seems to be a bit easier for basic editing.
Well done Shawn! Cool stuff..
Mikey
Thanks Mikey
Stellar video as always!! Looks very similar to the CapCut editing program?
I've already been using it for a while
Thanks for very instructive video. I have few questions: 1. Can you increase the duration of the clip once you use One Tap option (I didn't find it :( ) 2. Initially AI makes quite a good thing to synchronize music beats with clip changes, but once you reorganize the clips (change their order), it gets out of sync - is there any recommendation how to sync it again?
Nice tutorial 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for this video! So helpful. I have 1 question though, is there a way to change the default folder for Lightcut? I use my tablet to fly my drone and while I have plenty of space on my SD card I don't have much on the internal where Lightcut seems to want to put everything. I've searched online but no luck.
Cool 😎😎
its most detailed and unique tutorial about DJI Mimo Excellent However my question is Can I connect it and use it with Dji MO5 Gimbal ??
Great video, very easy to follow. Unfortunately I cannot edit directly from my mini3 pro, I can view the files, but the program is then permanently stuck on the analysing files at 0%. works fine when dowloaded to my phone, any suggestions? thanks again for the video, I will keep refering to it on my travels
This looks like really interesting software, which you demonstrated and explained very well. My problem with this is that the drone needs to be switched on while editing, This will obviously deplete the battery or if it can be edited whilst the drone is connected to a power source, it will likely overheat and turn itself off.
Yes my drone seems to get quite warm when it is powered on sitting on my desk...
Keep a fan blowing on the drone when you have it powered on & not in the air. I also like to do it when I’m charging the battery in the drone.
Thanks for this, good review. I had high hopes but on connecting the drone and selecting any of my videos, it displays 'editing 4k videos not supported'. I am on Android.
Didn’t know this exist going to download on my iPad
Thank you so much.. I'm new drone photography/filming/editing..etc. I recently purchased the mini 3 fly more como so finding your channel is a blessing.. ty. I was wondering if you may know what the theme and song the AI originally chose for your video clips here?
I’ve been using this app on my iPhone since you made this video.. really helpful tips Shawn .. the only issue I faced recently that you can’t rotate the screen if you’re working with iPad in Magic Keyboard .. only vertical, a total pain the … to hold an iPad 13 inch in the hand while editing. Hopefully they update it
Hi i watched this looks great, i only have DJi Action ( the 1st one ) what would you recommend, as uploading to the phone takes an age
Nice tutorial Shawn!
Problem.
When I start a new project,the last project I did appears,with no option to get rid of it and start another....ideas?
Can you add recorded voice to the videos? SO if you have the DJI mic can you import voice recordings?
What video editor you use to slit the screen in 3 o 4 different videos? Thanks!
Hi Shaun, is it possible to merge the voice recording from mini 3 pro screen recordings.
Great app, thank you so much.
A quick question the music from LightCut isn’t giving copyright issues? For RUclips?
First of all, thank you so much for putting up this video. It was very well done. A quick question....... I download the video from my drones, Pocket 2 and Pocket 3 onto my 4Tb hard drive. My phone has no available space to put any of my 4k videos on. How would I get saved files from my hard drive into LightCut ?
Appreciate your help.
That bit at the end about there not being a native iPad version means I’ll wait to use this app.
Yes, it is unfortunate. Hopefully one does come along.
Hi, good tut. Why does mine dont have the option to export in 4k? Im on ipad rpo 11"?
Does the 10-bit quality reduce when transferring to iPhone?
How do you add the colored fade background instead of having black behind the pic or video?
Great video, but one but, if the drone is powered on but props are not on, the drone Will get hot and burn Precious batterij as Well. So long edits are going to gett hard straight out of the drone. Would An external Care reader not solve all these issues? Any recommendations? 😊
Great video. Thanks. I’ve just bought my first dji. It’s Action 4 which swaps my GoPro 8. My two questions are:
1. What is bettet D Log or Normal colour for Light Cut editing?
2. Is there a film time limit that is possible to create in Light Cut?
Is this app good for the DJI hyperlapse option? Can it do RAW?
I am trying to use this on an iPad and it seems it must be used vertically only. Is this correct? The app doesn't rotate when you go horizontal? For me this is rather odd and I don't especially like the feel and look when having to edit with the iPad in a vertical position. I did write to DJI to see if this is correct but got no reply. Do you know? Is there a vertical lock or something I am missing. As you say it is a smartphone app only now so maybe I just need to wait.
Loved the video but I have one question... how'd you get your apple pencil to work with your iphone.
How do you get that flash effect at 5.14 ? Or know what it's called ? I like that fast frame look
Videos are easy to create, but I can’t save them. I constantly see 0% and everything hangs. What am I doing wrong?
Same here in the DJI app.
You can create videos only in the Light Kut. The other templates still don't work.@TonightWeGrill
thanks for the video!, im having network error while using the one click editing after selecting the clips and pressing next! any help please? thanks
