    X5R Workflow Notes

    I got you now. FCPX does not read it. It only reads the original image.

    X5R Workflow Notes

    I think in essence you understand it but when you work with a DNG file, you have a bunch of images which are of the quality the was captured by the camera sensor regardless of how you preview it. I am not sure why you bring up the lower quality in FCPX. So what are the differences A raw...

    X5R Workflow Notes

    Sorry I misenderstood your question You would still get the high resolution images in FCPX, but they might need to be color corrected. One at a time unless compounded as you know. What you loose is access to the metadata

    X5R Workflow Notes

    No, To get the raw footage out of an X5R is a two step process. A bit of education. A non raw footage capture by the camera is on the fly transformed from ones and zeros into viewable footage. You pop the card into the computer et voila, your footage is ready to be edited. The price you pay for...

    X5R Workflow Notes

    FCPX reads a DNG sequence not as a sequence but as a bunch of jpegs. Da Vinci Resolve will read them as sequences (with all the raw advantages). To get the sequence out of the X5R SSD, you need to use their proprietary utility (there might be another one too) to export them. In the utility, just...

    X5R Workflow Notes

    Yes you will be able to use the raw files in PP. I don't remember if you have to have an SD card to record on the SSD because I never shot without an SD card. The reason is you can review your shots before having to transcode them from the SSD. Yes it "spits" out DNG files. Raw files are not...

    X5R Workflow Notes

    Not really yet but adhering to shutter speed at twice the FPS is a good start. Also viewing your 4k footage on a 4k tv might help a lot too.

    did you ingest the DNG raw files directly into Fast CinemaDNG without using the DJI utility?

    USA Logbook Recommendation?

    Give DroneLogbook.com a spin. It is webased and sync with their mobile apps. You can also upload your flights and track battery cycle, equipment, make checklists and plan missions.

    UK Pfco practice maneuvers

    Think about investing in a Blade Nano ($90US). It is difficult to fly and indestructible. I practiced at home whenever I could a few minutes at a time. When you fly indoors in small room, it teaches you real fast to finely control your bird. Since it does not have GPS, it is much harder to fly...
