This afternoon I was experimenting a bit with a 'hyperlapse' video where some part of the subject stays in the frame. I tried to mimic the Warp stabilizer effect that is mentioned in this post. https://forum.dji.com/thread-91574-1-1.html
As I don't own After Effects (far too expensive for me), I would like to mimic this effect with just the DJI Go app.
What my settings were in DJI GO:
- Timelapse
- 0.5 seconds
- 30 minutes (stopped after about 1 minute)
- Tripod mode off
- Normal mode
- Manual exposure, wb, iso and focus (which was off a bit)
Now all goes well while walking straight ahead, but as soon as I start to change where I point the iPhone, the movement looks by far not as smooth as it could.
Just look at 0:12 where I turn and want to get the house in the center of the frame.
Or take a look at this short clip where I want the church to stay centered.
It was my third (and best) attempt, the other tries were even less succesfull.
I would say the gimbal should be able to make more smooth results, combined with digital stabilization. But it looks as if the gimbal is acting like 'normal' (no timelapse) so changes happen very quickly in the final result.
What are my options to get better results?
As I said, I don't own Adobe After Effects, so that is not an option for me.
