This was crafted for my parents, who do appear briefly in a few scenes, for all the love and support they’ve shown me throughout my life.  All footage used was shot during a recent road trip I took with my folks across the states of Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina, and were captured with a Mavic 2 Pro (including Polar Pro’s ND filters).

The video was edited entirely with Luma Fusion on an iPad Pro and graded with high quality LUTS from SpectrumGrades. The following video is a side-by-side, before-and-after comparison of “ever-grateful”:

Hi, we do appreciate sharing your work with us! I'm sure that your parents will like this great work. Cheers!

It’s my pleasure, Tony. It’s been a while since I’ve been free to post on the forum here due to my time constraints. I have missed connecting with everyone here. I hope you and everyone working over at DJI are well, sir. Take care.

Lovely footage mate - that straight down shot over the bridge brought out my vertigo

Fabulous footage. Well done

How many minutes did it take to render?

Truly moving piece, with love emanating from every scene. And the music perfectly matching the message ... Your folks did amazing job rising you ...

Nicely done, good work!!!

very nice,  which of the LUTs did you use?

Nice footage, Thanks for sharing!

Stunning work, it's been a while since last time you post a thread. Mon & Dad always the person who I respect. Thanks for sharing.

You're most welcome. I'm sure that our valued DJI Forum members are doing great with our DJI Product. Take care as well. Cheers!

Lux, splendid to see another from you, and this one being special.  As always I enjoyed it very much, liked the comparison.  The butterfly liked your camera somewhat  The light through the branches was nice to see.  I am having some vision problems so don't come here very often, but always have an eye for your works

Great footage! Always love your works

Amazing job !!

Great video.

Excellent work and a great tribute

Nicely done - thanks again for sharing!

Typically, Luma renders my videos in 4K, 150mbps, in the same time it would take to play the video entirely. So for this video is was 3 or so min.

Matthew, thank you so much for those words. I‘m blessed to have parents who looked past my failures to see the person I would become if I kept a heart of rooted in hope and compassion. I’ll always owe a debt to them that I cannot repay but I will try to repay anyway. Thank you, again.

I used LUTs from the Gamma and Vision packs that SpectrumGrades offers.

Panda bear! Great to see you! Yes, I’ve been so busy on the Jabberwock film that I haven’t had much time to spare lately. I’ll be posting some fun stuff in the coming weeks, I promise. I hope you and yours are well, Panda. Always good too see you.

Have you tried rendering the same thing with Premiere Pro?

I haven’t. Currently, I don’t own a computer able to handle playing 4K video smoothly, let alone edit and render it (despite adding proxies out the wazoo). I do aim to acquire one shortly, though. There are days I feel I can do without it, but other days (when working with particularly grainy footage) I long for a true noise reduction solution for iOS - like Neat Video. If that ever does happen, it’s going to be a long time from now, I know.

Splendid!  Great work!

You have the latest iPad Pro?

I do, the one with USB type C. It’s quite the capable computer, especially now as I’m running the latest beta of iPad0S, but it obvious still lacks in several key, and crucial to video editing, ways verses a traditional computer.

amazing work! well done

Very Nice Footage, is Luma Fusion a one time buy, please?

LUX! Hope you are well! Great to see you too. Always very interested in the stuff you bring. ;)
