Hi

Today I tried to create some test-videos because I want to combine my Mavic Pro footage with some footage from my 5D Mark IV C-Log video.
I set up the Mavic to d-Log with 1080p and 60fps. Because it was sunny and I don't have a ND-filter yet, I bumped the shutterspeed to 1/1600 with ISO 100.

And got this result:

Why does it look like that in the downright corner? It looks smudged?

Ok, the first clip was shot with d-log and 0-0-0 and no LUT applied.

This clip is shot with the same settings but with d-log 0-3-3 + applied a LUT + sharpen:

When I bumped it up to 2.7 30fps d-log 0-3-3 + applied a LUT + sharpen:

I still think this looks horrendous. Is the focus too close? The trees are probably 10 meters away. I have never crashed the drone and mostly used it for stills with raw.

Any ideas?

Looks wrong..!
All video taken through a closed window?
Try take a still from same place.

I have never had that issue but it could be the high shutter speed, also try editing the colors and see what happens.

It looks very wrong. Actually it was filmed through an OPEN door, so nothing between the lens and the outside.. I've tried to reset the IMU, will try to reset the camera settings now, hopefully that will help.

Ok, so I did some more tests today. I reseted the camera settings, and tried to create two more samples. Since it was clouded today I managed at iso100 and 1/800 shutterspeed:

1080p-60fps d-log and 0-3-3 style:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/28ea89h2lg3ojpx/DJI_00041080p-60fps-dlog-0-3-3.MOV

Stillimage from the drone, not edited, but saved jpg from dng file:


4k-24fps d-log and 0-3-3 style:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lh6wp3q4qbyh9jv/DJI_0008-4k-24fps-dlog-0-3-3.MOV

I think it may have something to do with the Mavic applying noise cancellation on the 1080 clips? I'm bummed. And soon I am to use my drone in a commercial assignment, I need to fix this

Maybe try de-sharpening to reduce the blocky effect a little

Are you taking this off your phone or importing it from the mini sd card directly?

And jesus, disregard all this "try sharpening" crap, its clearly an issue with the actual video file, change your setting to 0 0 0 and d log.

Import direct from the mini sd card in the drone.

I'm always importing directly from the memorycard, so yes.

Thanks for answering, but I already did this in my first post: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d5zkrsfq7on34e0/trim.mov

This is 0-0-0 in d-log.

And now I am trying to connect my Mavic Pro to my iMac running macos Mojave. I have deleted DJi Assistant and installed Dji assistant 2, and done the reboot after installing Horndis.

You need to take the mini sd card out of the drone and put it in the reader, you can do this by connecting the drone but it isn't necessary.

The important thing is you use the original file, what codec was it shot in?

Well you missed the point, what I'm telling you is adjusting that setting isn't going to fix what was artefacts in your footage.


Record longer than what you did, it may be an issue only at the start of recording, watch a 10 min video on filming and editing, you roll before you're going to get useable footage, at least 10 secs before hand.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. But I also tried to connect the mavic to my imac to do a factory reset to see if that would help..

I'll try to record a longer file tomorrow in d-log. I have tried both mov and mp4.

Are you shooting 4k at 60mbps?

Yes, I do. But I want to shoot in 1080p because I'm going to combine it with 5D Mark IV 1080p footage. I guess as a temporary emergency solution I could film with the drone in 4k to minimize the smudginess.

Maybe I should try a full reset of the drone?
