For your first it was not to bad.
Some of it was on the bright side causing the colors to be washed out.
Are you using any ND filters?
Editing was good and choice of music was good.
Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Nice first attempt. As I may give you some advice, avoid the wipes between the scenes, it will give it a more professional look. You can try that with your current project and see the difference. For the scenes towards the sun maybe a ND filter might help to reduce over exposure. That is just my opinion. Have fun flying and filming and most important keep experimenting with different camera settings. Make the same shot a couple of times with different settings and use the one that looks best.

I bought a set of Polar Pro polarzing ND filters - ND4, ND8 and ND16.  If you want to get the suggested blur effect in your videos, your shutter speed needs to be double the frame rate.  I found on my recent trip to Florida that in the bright sun, the ND16 wasn't enough to get the shutter speed down to 1/50 sec.  If you're shopping, be sure to get an ND32 or higher if you're going to be taking a lot of video in bright sun.

What video editing software are you using?  I just got started with Adobe Premiere Pro ($20 / month for subscription).  I've just scratched the surface of understanding the software.  Your videos look good.  I only know how to do the "cross-dissolve" video transition.

About the ND Polar Pro filters, you are right. I bought the set with 6 filters and a individual ND64/PL to use on my Mavic Pro here in Brazil. I've tried flying only twice, but needed to use only the ND64.

Not trying to roast you, just telling you what I've learned.

Careful about transitioning on movement.
Be very thoughtful about your setting before and during your flight.
Color and light adjustment in the program is awesome, but still not as good as getting it spot on during flight.

Don't be afraid to make more videos even if they seem bad.

Look up tutorials online for editing techniques that you aren't sure of or need help with.

If you have specific questions feel free to message me for advice and stuff.

Some really good shots too!

It is really a nice video but as mentioned by the guys above over exposed certain areas. Look at your exposure and for a starter try using the over exposed warning on the Go4 app to help you get started
