Just to add to the music comments, the easy and cheap/free way to add soundtracks to videos that won't get spanked on FB and Youtube is to explore sites like purple-planet.com or bensound.com. WIde variety of royalty-free music, you just include credit to the appropriate site in your...

Happy to report the “thermostat is fixed”and it’s 68 deg this afternoon (warmer than forecast) what a week.

Thanks to you and the others for the kind words. This is shot in my neighborhood, and so it was a quick trip down the road. I have a 4WD Jeep but just no reason to be on the roads. I did pick a new location to pilot from, so I'll be zooming around some more when the weather is more to my...

Fortunately mine did not go out. Many people I know can’t say that. Per the Oncor outage map the rolling blackouts have ceased and number of customers without power has dropped about 90% from a couple days ago. Still have 4500 outages affecting over 100k people but those, they say, are weather...

Snow is such a rarity here and this is our second round this winter. A week ago people were on this golf course, and they'll be back on it by next weekend. Normally i'd edit a much shorter video but this video caters to some of the things my neighbors wanted to see. 4:00-6:00 would have...

If you've got friends who think the rules are for "everyone else," please remind them that significant enforcement requirement of existing rules always leads to more stringent rules. A deluge of drones fly over Super Bowl stadium, despite ban

Excellent, thanks for that tip. I knew there was a setting that would allow it, and i usually don't think about looking for it until I'm already in the air! "Unremarkable land" is exactly why I use the Spark for sunsets. I've got a tree line that blocks me from watching them from the house. I...

Hey all, I could see the color starting to show last night, and i grabbed the spark for an impromptu flight. Clouds were pushing, but never got a wind warning. I was about 200ft above ground level. Actual clip was 90 seconds, I've sped it up 3x here. You'll see a little bit of auto exposure...

Man what a mess. Thanks for sharing.

Your announcement of pending tutorial was what threw me into the rabbit hole to begin with ;) Photomatix looks great. I am going to go through your tutorial before my next trip.

Well, I wasn't ready to start unwinding this ball of string, but after reading the comments here, I took a stab at it. 3 hours later, i'm up out of the rabbit hole for air! 3 brackets, used Luminance HDR. I'm sure Photomatix is in my future.

Yes Please!

Yes you are correct. I've also heard adjusting the speed with iMovie from 100 to 97% works as well. Final Cut Pro is on the list once I start doing more with video. Thanks for the info.

I wasn't really seeking out the 24fps approach, I sorta backed into it. I was reading threads on jitter on youtube videos, some with specific reference to iMovie, and corrections to eliminate same. It was the convergence of a couple ideas, and using (free) software already on my laptop...

These are my first three videos with my new Spark. First quadcopter videos period. I bought the Spark the week before our trip and these were a couple pieces I put together. Initially I just added these for family and friends, so they're single clip videos. Uploaded in 1080p so watch the HD...
