    I think you mentioned that you edit with Davinci Resolve.
    If you use HLG then the settings for Resolve are:
    Input Colour Space Rec.2100
    Input Gamma Rec.2100 HLG (Scene)
    For D Log M the settings are:
    Input Colour Space Rec.709
    Input Gamma Rec.709.

    • @wildandfreevictoria
      @wildandfreevictoria  Месяц назад +4

      Thank you! I know the settings for the D Log but that is so helpful for the HLG - I have pinned it as well just incase anyone else needs tips on settings. Thank you very much for sharing this 🙂✌🏻
      Also for my D Log settings which worked well too I used:
      Input Colour Space: DJI D- Gamut
      Input Gamma: ARIB STD-B67 HLG
      Then export is Rec. 709 and Gamma 2.4
      This could be completely wrong but found it online and it worked well 🙂

      Also I tried the HLG setting today and really liked it, it looks lovely! SO now is the decision which one to use, D Log or HLG! Thank you for the recommendation 🙂

      @@wildandfreevictoria Good morning. I'm glad that you liked my settings for HLG.
      May I make one further observation about the Gamma setting and whether you use Gamma 2.4 or 2.2 in your Colour Space Transform node?
      Its a very complicated subject, way above my pay grade however its very simple to grasp.
      Gamma 2.4 is for when you are grading on a very expensive Reference Monitor costing tens of thousands of pounds and delivering to TV.
      Gamma 2.2 is for when you are grading on a domestic consumer/prosumer computer monitor or laptop and delivering to RUclips and people are going to watch your content on a monitor, phone, laptop or tablet.
      I'm going to take a guess that you mostly edit on a laptop or computer monitor and then publish your stuff to RUclips.
      If so, then select your Output Gamma to 2.2
      Its a Gamma curve that is designed for watching content in bright surroundings. A contrast curve for viewing in bright lighting. Another example would be Gamma 2.6 which has a subtle contrast curve designed for viewing content in a black box room such as a cinema.

    • @wildandfreevictoria
      @wildandfreevictoria  Месяц назад +1

      Yes I have the timeline and export settings to Gamma 2.4 and update the input and output all on a Colour Transform node. I am pretty happy with 2.4, I use it for all my vlogs and know it well. So that is just a preference which I will stick with as I like it. I am not just colour grading DJI footage but also my vlog Fujifilm footage. All of my vlogs so far have been 2.4 and I like the finish so I won’t be changing that soon.
      I appreciate you saying about Gamma 2.2 and explaining it, I will give it a try but I am happy with my current settings and working process that I do 🙂

      @@wildandfreevictoria My episodes get tens of views and over the last year, or so, I've watched your subs count rocket an extra 10k. One of us is doing something right, and it ain't me.
      You've got your Resolve settings dialled in just right to give stunning vibrant content. The difference between Gamma 2.2 and 2.4 is a hair's breath of difference and most would not even notice.
      I'm glad that I could help suggest the HLG settings. There are some excellent Tutorial sites out there to help you get the most out of your drone. Ted Nemeth has some very good stuff on using your drone like a cinematic camera.

    I'm so glad you dropped that boring land camera, and grabbed a most excellent flying camera. be careful, you will soon be addicted! Nice footage, love the colours. Just like my native Canada in the fall! You have a good grasp of cinematography, it won't be long until you're a pro. If I could offer some suggestions: Fly in open areas and once you take off, switch to Cine mode and practice flying squares in front of you, using the yaw functions to turn the corners. Don't use' return to home' unless you've lost site of the drone, try to always fly it back and land it manually. Master one function per outing, because the M4P is loaded with tech. You can go into Gain & Expo settings that will allow you to customize your stick movements, especially in Cine mode. Lots of drone gurus post their settings, just search on YT, and then set them how you like them. Happy flying!

Like you, had great trepidation on my first flight, but loved it and can't wait to photograph and video all the changing seasons. Working on my coordination to smooth the movements, but really enjoying the new way of viewing and enjoying wild places. Love your channel and passion for what you do.

Your video has inspired me and I'm now hooked!

    Good for you Victoria, the aerial boundaries are unlimited. I've been a pilot and photographer for 7 years and going from the Phantom 4 Pro to the Mini 4 Pro and it is the best drone for any level.
    It is the most exciting photography and video tool and when you gain confidence wait till you fly along rivers and waterfalls. Looking forward to your new drone adventures.

    Just found your video and glad I’m not the only one a bit nervous taking it up in the air lol. I’ve got the mini 4 pro. Just had it up in the back garden and a quiet local park. I think I’ll change the controls too as it feels more natural the other way round. Looking forward to more videos with your drone. Very relaxing to watch. 😀

      @wildandfreevictoria  Месяц назад +1

      Hehe yes do not worry, I was very nervous! 😅 but seriously, it is really good and once you get out of that comfort zone it is so relaxing. I felt very relaxed in the end. Definitely adjust the controller - after I did that I felt a lot calmer and understood the flying more. The only thing that still confuses me is the way the gimbal tilts (this is the wrong way around for my head). But get out again and have fun, you’ve got this 🙂 and thank you, there will be more on the way! 🙂

Also just like the host, I love landscapes but when is view things like the birds, is a whole different story. I remember the first time I try flying over water, It was nerve wrecking, but you get the hang of it once you know what to avoid. Enjoy your journey!!!

Even when I have been out and about I have bumped into a couple of people and spoke to them about the drone/what I was doing and they were very happy to hear about it and see my photos. I think it helps just put people at ease. I definitely will keep practicing and happy flying for you too! 🙂

      And, this leads me to the story of Wallace.. well I took Wallace on his first adventure to the Swiss and French Alps which was amazing and we were having a great time but unfortunately in France poor Wallace met his death as well as Alfred.. but Wallace was kidnapped by a golden eagle! It grabbed him and flew off with him, never to be seen again. So I will be getting a replacement soon which will be named Wallace II. Lets both fly in memory of our lost buddies! 🙂

      Autumn was fabulous to see the tree colours from the air.

It's great that after a month you still have the buzz to want to fly more - this is lovely to read! and yes I had no choice as the place I was taking off from was long grass and wonky ground, so that pushed me to do it by hand - it was a bit scary but the propeller blades are all up top so it was ok. and you do you, when you feel ready you can launch by hand, no point rushing anything. Just enjoy it and take things in your own time 🙂🌲☀️

    I loved your video of your new drone and a very good choice for your first one. Welcome to the club. I did notice a couple of things that might be of interest to you going forward. Firstly it is recommended to remove the gimbal cover before powering up any drone and this is to prevent the gimbal getting stuck or damaged. The second thing is, you might want to consider a landing mat for some of the locations you are in. This will prevent debris from getting into the drone when landing and taking off. Keep up the good work.

    You finally got a DJI Mini 4 Pro.
    You will love your new toy.
    What I've learned is that the D Log M colour profile is absolutely awful to colour grade and match with my other cameras. I have learned that using HLG is the best colour profile to use for grading with and it will match very well with your cameras. HLG is a true log colour profile, while D Log M is just a REC 709 colour profile. The next useable profile is the Natural profile. It is a Rec 709 profile but play's nicely with footage from other cameras.
    As for filters, the best one that I have and only ever use, at night, is the Freewell Snow Mist 1/4 filter. Its their brand name for a Pro Mist filter.
    I bought some DJI ND filters but only used them once for some late night slow shutter projects. As for getting the 180 degree shutter rule, its not that important because you'll be high up negating the need for motion blur at 25fps.
    You will love your drone, as its a superb photo camera as well.

    • @wildandfreevictoria
      @wildandfreevictoria  Месяц назад +1

      I sure did and love it already!
      Thank you for all these tips, I will definitely try HLG profile instead of D-Log - I do have to say, I managed to figure out the Log in the end and colour grading wasn't too bad. But I will try HLG out as I might enjoy it more.
      Ahh that snow mist filter sounds amazing! this is what I was after! I definitely have a look online for it - thank you! I have some ND, UV and CPL but I always love a mist.
      Thank you again this is very helpful 🙂✌🏻

    • @frankinblackpool
      @frankinblackpool Месяц назад

      @ I’m glad you liked the tips. I was hoping that I did not sound like I was mansplaining.
      As for the D Log M profile, it’s not a log profile at all. It’s just a REC 709 colour space profile.
      The DJI Mini 3 has the correct D Log profile. DJI in their wisdom did not allow this log profile with the newer Mini 4 Pro. They wanted something simple for the average person to use with minimal editing/grading skills. HLG is a true log colour space and is really good in low light. I have some drone episodes, including firework displays, where I flew mine in low light for you to check out the image quality and noise in the shadows.
      I’m more than happy to point you to some very helpful RUclips tutorial channels, but sadly your RUclips filter will not allow this.
      Have fun with your drone.
      And as one last tip, the obstacle avoidance sensors do not work in low light. I learned the hard way.

Unfortunately I've not used them anywhere near as much as I'd have liked due to the negative reaction I got whilst out with them 🥺 probably due to the size mostly. I did do my CAA Drone Pilots course so was doing everything by the book but still got abuse when out from some people. Shame really but I'm now thinking I'll sell them & get something a little smaller that maybe people won't have as much of a problem with & a little easier to get out & fly.
