Serious video editing on a phone ?

Hi DJ_Fan,

why not?

Well, I would say the technical gap between mobile devices and desktop/laptop PCs has been shrinking smaller all the time, so I would say it wouldn't be impossible.

Hi HGDC84,

years ago I used my SGS 1 to connect to any TV with adapters, USB HUB and mouse (and keyboard if available), running a debian linux.

So I did not have to carry a laptop with me.

Interesting setup, I see it was probably great when considering portability

And now with the DJI RC Plus it is much easier!

I can connect multiple monitors and it is like using desktop tools, but mobile with some cables and adapters.

So I do not have to carry an extra device with me.

Updated to LightCut 4.58, but still doesn’t work

Hi Murta,
Sorry for the inconvenience. Please make sure you closed the Fly app and try to connect with the drone.
Any further detail, please drop mail to lightcutapp@gmail.com

Not a bad setup

liking it so far

When  chinese producer promote a "free app" to be installed in our phones, allow me to be more than skeptic...
Invasive programs that ask for a lot of permissions and data collection are everywhere...
I will stick to YouCut.

I see your point, though I do think it is not only limited to Chinese apps. I do believe they do it all over in Europe and America as well.

I like the templates. Tons of them and very useful!

True, but still not trusting comunist countries that have only one person that decide all: the "elected" president with unanimity of votes )))))

I do agree about the dangers of giving all the power to one person only, but that has occured in Western countries as well. It wasn't a long time ago when a certain ex-president of the US wrecked havoc among us. So power can corrupt, no matter what your political stance.

Will it work with Dji mini SE?

Pity it's not a desktop app, never been inspired to edit something on the run.

Awesome app

Will definately be trying this out when it hits the DJI MIni 2. Like the idea of being able to do quick vids while out in the field.

As others have said, there are great products on the desktop (Davinci, YouCut, etc.). I personally use a video editor I've had for some time called CyberLink PowerDirector 365. If/when LightCut comes out with a desktop version will give that a whirl as well.

This app looks perfect for what I need.  I'm trying to get it going with my Mini 3 pro and hitting a road block.  

Android latest update on Google Pixel 7.  Location services and nearby devices enabled.  Phone less than 1 m from drone.  Bluetooth and Wifi on.  

DJI Mini 3 pro - updated to latest firmware today.  

The LightCut app finds the drone, as it appears under devices.  When I click on the red "connect" icon, the black circle spins around as if it is trying to connect and then I get "Exit other app.  Restart Light Cut and try again."  I have tried restarting the app, restarting my phone, restarting the drone, etc.  Same result.  Pressing the power button 3x to activate fast transfer.  

I deleted and reinstalled the app.  

I went through the setup thing again.  It found the drone.  It said to "long press to connect."  Done.  Then it doesn't connect.  

"No devices found.  Make sure devices are turned on and available to connect."

Press "try again."  Searches for devices.... same thing.  But when I press "cancel" my drone still shows up in the devices list, with a red "connect" button beside it.  

Now when I press it, it says, "searching for devices" but never finds anything. ....
Tried again with my 3rd battery.  Did not update the firmware on that battery.  Same result.  

Any thoughts?  
When I first got the message about it being connected to another app, I thought maybe it was my RC controller, but the power is off on the RC controller.

Thanks!  

This Looks Great but will more templates be added soon?

I have a question concerning the connection types supported with the Pocket 2 at https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=287067

Anybody having an idea about this?

Yes, I have been using this for a while now. Very good.

Hi LightCut App,

Why do I have to install the app to know all supported devices?

Hi Chris (axemanchris),

can you provide supported devices listed in the app?

Did not get an answer there:

Why do I have to install the app to know all supported devices?  "LightCut will support more DJI devices in the future. For a full compatibility list, please check in the LightCut app."

Hi Chris,
We‘ve forwarded your reported issues to the team, please check your mail to see the resolutions. Thank you for your support

Is it supposed to be as complete as CapCut?

This is what the app shows as supported devices.  

They did email me back.  I replied the same day with a question to clarify their direction.   It has been four more days since then and I've not yet heard from them.

Tried out the LightCut app recently, did a reasonable job. The material I used wasn't really suitable for the One-Tap-Editor, but I guess it'll work fine when using the appropriate amount of clips with a suitable duration (multiple short videos instead of three 20-minute clips, like I used). However, the manual editing mode got me to the finish line with the clips I used for the test, so no complaints here.

As for Axemanchris, I hope they would reply to you soon.

I hope DJI will reply soon.

Well....March 25 was a week ago now.  Their response 7 days ago was helpful, but the clarification I asked about had been ignored for 7 days now.  

"It might take some time....be patient."

That's fine.  But a response back to the effect of "our developers have identified this as a bug for those whose drones had previously paired with the RC controller.  We hope to have this fixed in the next release, hopefully by the end of April.". That would be a perfectly acceptable response.  

But 7 days of silence has been disappointing.

Elsewhere there has been silence for months ...

Good point. You're probably right.  I was thinking if it was embedded in an image, the web crawlers might not grab it.
