Sorry, being totally honest here - no filters or anything. I didn't touch the color palette or anything. It's just the straight 5.4K h265 files from the drone card dropped into Final Cut Pro, sped up 2x, and then downscaled to 4K using Apple Compressor (because youtube/vimeo can't really handle 5k yet).
What you can see is a pretty drastic loss of details/resolution in the night part of the video - which was shot only about 10-15 minutes after the first part - it wasn't even completely dark yet. Same auto settings, so the iso had to go up substantially, and hence the loss of resolution.
Ok, accepting your statement I suggest, that the downsampling process caused a denoise effect because good editing software uses interpolation algorithms for resampling which calculates the resampled pixel values from local pixel clusters (e.g. 3x3) which is leading to a certain noise reduction. Might be a good idea to take highest resolution under low light conditions and then just downsample...have to check that. And saying that, I realize that you also speeded up by factor two and the same argument as with downsampling applies here too - not in the image-spatial but in the image sequence temporal direction. That means by downsampling and speeding up you did a double-strike against the noise.
And btw. I like your video ;)
