It was a bright day...no clouds on top of the second highest peak in georgia, rabun bald. I shot like 8.  Vids. 24 frames per second. Mostly standard settings. Nothing too nuts. My shutter speed is bad caus i had no nd filters.  But every video just sucked bad. Can't use any of them  some had random black horizontal lines briefly. Some had horrible lag. Just overall trash. Some fixed images in the vids would start to stretch. Very frustrating. Thoughts?

Viewing them on my mobile device. Galaxy s4. I read that I should start shooting in 1080p cause viewing 4k can be a pain or something?   I need to convert the videos to 1080p. How do I do that

The reason TK-421 asked you if you where viewing them on your SD card and not through you DJI GO app, is because all the video and photos heavy compressed in the app.
For the black stripes those are shadow from the props. You will get them when you are recording video facing the sun. Tilting down the camera a bit will fix that.

Correct. Not viewing in app. Any suggestions on how to convert the 4k video to 1080p?

Just about any editing package will let you convert from 4K to 1080p, depends on whether you want to buy one or get one free. try searching on this site, there are plenty of suggestions for editing programs.

Thanks for response. I really hope after I convert it's fixed. Really not sure what steps to take after conversion if it's not fixed.

Hello craig, first, you can check the original photos and videos in the SD card via your PC or mac. and here is a thread of some video editing software :http://forum.dji.com/forum.php?m ... 6orderby%3Ddateline

Thanks a lot palad. I'm learning so much on these forums.  I just learned that I basically have to have nd filters when doing video so we can limit shutter speed and eliminate nasty aide effects of high shutter speed during bright conditions. This is fun. Now deciding on which fillters to get. My next shoot will be much better. Brasstown bald, blood mountain, rabun bald again, mt yonah...I'm excited. Will create a youtube channel for aerial displays of.north georgia mountains.

The video MAY not be as bad as you think...unless your computer is kind of a beast, it may not play the video very well. Im a trucker and on a crappy laptop while at work and this thing just skips and adds funny glitches when i play video back. My pc at home is a home built monster for gaming so thats where i have to view and edit vids.

Hi Craig, in this article we explain how and why ND filters are used (as well as some other things). Maybe some of the info can help you: Making better video with your DJI Phantom 4 / 3 / Inspire

I have shot TONS of beautiful footage with NO ND filters on. You dont have to have an ND to film, IDK where you got that from. Heres an example, shot in 4K. https://vimeo.com/163922464

You can also make a simple lens hood from craft paper.
Or buy one off of eBay. ;-)

I would recommend transferring the footage to your computer and looking at the footage there. If you're looking to downsize the footage from 4k, you could use Adobe Premiere Pro which costs about 9.99 a month for just Premiere, if you want all of the Adobe Apps like Photoshop and After Effects, it's $40 a months or $20 a month for students. Which is what I pay.
