I have ready many threads many post on djo forum and still unable to find the solution to how to fix the choppy video quality of the mavic pro platinum.
I bought mavi pro platinum last year and since then I have been trying to play around the settings, sd card, frame rate and what not but simply no solution to the quality.

Pls suggest.

for a sample video, here is an example:

I saw a lot of things in that clip, but the least of them was 'choppiness'. The overall picture quality, while claiming to be 1080p resolution, looked anything but. Whatever app you used to post-produce that clip was really average, it looked very blocky.

But to answer your question, to avoid 'choppiness', firstly avoid fast pans and next, use an ND filter to slow down the shutter to approximately twice the fame rate. In other words, if the frame rate is 30 fps, then try to get a shutter rate of 1/60th of a second or slower.

Hello there ankitch656. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. As Geebax posted on post #2. Please try using a ND Filter for your DJI Mavic Pro Platinum ( https://store.dji.com/product/ma ... t-v2&position=0 ). These Filters reduces light by 2/3/4/5 stops to effectively avoid over exposure, so that you can capture great photos in a wider range of environments and  these ND filter reduces the amount of light coming into the sensor, giving you the freedom to create your own work by allowing more control of the camera's aperture, exposure time and sensor sensitivity settings. By the way this video you have created is wonderful. Great work and keep on flying.

For a good investigation, it is best to avoid youtube and share a raw (unedited) clip via dropbox etc.
That way you eliminate 2 possible causes for image quality issues.
(Youtube compression and issues with the rendering)

Thank you Geebax, I will give it  shot.
but in terms of choppiness
here is the link to the photo,

The areas I have marked, I needed little more sharp and colorful.

Also yes, I used a cheap quality app for post production.

What would you recommend for post production?

From what I see, there is no choppiness in that frame.
Your movement was super abrupt and there were exposure changes (manually probably) but the car moved smoothly without stuttering etc

It looks very normal to me, what are your video style settings  ?

Why don't you bump up sharpness to +1 and saturation to +1
