Hello, I was curious if anyone has worked out how to do Hyperlapses on M4E? I know this isn't natively supported, but it's the only reason i keep my Air 3 around- I would love to be able to get rid of it. Thanks!
 
The Matrice 4E does not have an auto Hyperlapse.

BUT, you can easily accomplish this by using the timed photo setting.

Set the interval to a per second meeting your needs. the lower the number ie. 1 second, the slower the video. The higher the interval number the faster the video will be.

Use Davinci Resolve to make the video. Import the images and then output your video.

Do you know if timed photo supports waypoints and POI? I’ve never used it before
No I do not, but it is possible especially if you manual press the photo button to start the image taking.

In Davinci Resolve you must follow the following in terms of settings for the imported images.

To import a time-lapse sequence of still images into DaVinci Resolve, you'll need to first adjust the standard still duration setting and then import your images. Go to DaVinci Resolve's preferences, navigate to the editing tab, and change the "standard still duration" from seconds to frames, setting it to one frame. After saving these preferences, you can import your image sequence and it will be treated as a time-lapse.
 
What I do not understand with the enterprise series. From my perspective it should have all the features of the consumer drone and additions of enterprise level software as well. Not an entirely different batch of settings with a whole bunch of stuff missing or disabled.

It doesn't make sense. Why remove such a simple feature from a more expensive drone. Why DJI, why?

This has been a complaint going back to the Mavic 2 Enterprise series.

For the hyperlapse problem, the Davinci solution is very easy and for me isn't a hassle. It's a one time settings change for importing the images, drag and drop the images, set parameters on how to save the file and render. About 3 to 5 minutes. Once the video is processed its on my computer for storage and easy sharing, since it would end up there anyway if the video was made on the drone/controller.
 
I tried a quick, really bad, and my first timelapse with my Matrice 4e.

It is possible. I used the tele lens too so had to stabilise the footage a little in tripod mode in Final Cut Pro. The easiest way to create a timelapse is to use Quicktime image sequence mode. It creates the timelapse then you enter that into Final Cut (if you use that?) I want to try more now. I did some comparisons this morning with my Mavic 3 Pro. The quality (detail) is great from the M4e. The thing I see happening is it is over processing the shadows to lighten them, which is producing too much grain and artefacts in the compression algorithm. Not really played with these settings, need to find the sweet spot and best focal lengths for the 48mp modes.

That is a very nice first try. I'm sure you will dial it in.
