Great tutorial, ready appreciate your work. Would there be any chance of creating a tutorial around your image capture and settings for this particular data set given the height differences & complexities of the scene?
Hi - this is a dataset from Wingtra. You can access it here and maybe find some more information: wingtra.com/mapping-drone-wingtraone/aerial-map-types/data-sets-and-maps/
This is great, thank you. Could one use this to create a 'walk-through'or 'drive-through' of a town model? I would need to set the camera height above ground and its travel speed.
Hi - thanks for watching! Yes, I think you could achieve what you have asked. However, not automatically. For the elevation setting you need, I would find the elevation of the ground point where your key frame would be and then add your required height above ground and find the final height. Then, you can manually edit the key frame elevation accordingly. As for the speed, measure the total distance your video will travel and then set speed by adjusting the video time (duration). A simple distance/time equation solves the need. I hope that makes sense and sorry it isn't easier (at least I don't know an easier way) - but you should be able to end up with the result you desire.
Hi, Thx. for your Tips and videos for Metashape. How can I import a road layer into the model ? which formats ? and how to import with a certain height above the model ?
Hi - I think the easiest would be a Shapefile format for the road layer. The way I set it at a certain height above the model is to export the point cloud from Metashape. Then, open it in something that allows you to drape vectors on to point clouds. ArcGIS, QGIS or I use Global Mapper. Drop the element onto the surface at a set elevation, or edit your surface to a new elevation and drop the element onto it right there. Then, export the vectors to a shapefile and import that file into MetaShape.
@Geospatial Tips which software did you use to merge/combine the videos using different visualizations to the final result you showed at the end of the tutorial?
Hi - go to 'Model' then 'Show/Hide Items' and then you should be able to hide these elements there. If you are still have trouble please send some screenshots to geospatialtips@gmail.com and I'll take a look for you.
Hi, I can think of a few possible reasons: 1. If you are using a textured model, confirm your model looks great before the video and that it isn't just a low quality texture issue. (I assume this you have already done) 2. Maximize the screen space before creating the video. If you screen size is small and then you try 'blow it up' to full screen to view the video, the scaling will add the blurred effect. 3. Change your framerate and resolution that you are using to record the video and see if it makes any difference? 4. If all else fails, feel free to send me some screenshots or a screen recording via email and I'll take a look for you. geospatialtips@gmail.com
Hi - JPG files cannot be created larger than 4GB, it is a limit of the file type. You can create a GeoTIFF image, but have to use the BigTIFF setting to do this (check the checkbox on export). Else, break your JPG file into tiles, each smaller than 4GB.
Used this technique today, and super happy with the results.
Thanks for the tutorials!
Seriously so helpful! Great channel!
Glad you think so!
your channel one of the best , wish you happiness for your kind tutorials
Thanks so much for your kindness! I'm really glad you find some value in these videos :)

Hi - I used Movavi Video Editor for this purpose.
Is there a way to make such videos for a construction-site with chunks coverin the progress over time?
I think you would need to make the videos individually, one per chunk, and then put them together and edit them in a suitable video editor.
@@geospatialtips so you would recomand to have all flights iver time in one agis file, and not to do one file for every flight?
Thanks crack
i Can't disable showing camera flight path and cameras. My model recordings show the camera path also.

Great, thanks a lot
You are welcome!
Wow
Not very clear. The model that I started with is very clear. I can't understand why it's so blurry?
