[QUOTE="RedZeppelin, post: 113350, member: 17888"] Thanks for all of the information. All of this footage is from the Spark, so no mixed media. I guess I have to accept the limitations of the Spark and accept that it's not always going to be buttery smooth footage, especially when there's a lot going on like waves etc. Sorry - I should have explained. I have the exposure lock set to the function button on my remote. I always pre-fly a scene and lock the exposure to where I think it will be most balanced. For an example, for the second clip where I climb past the foliage to reveal the coast, I did that as a test run and locked the exposure to where the whole coast is in view. If I hadn't, the contrast of the dark foliage at first, followed by the bright sunshine and coast would have caused the sudden exposure change you mentioned. I do need to experiment more with manual settings, but I'm trying to do things in stages and get better at one thing before I try another. I do try to make the music compliment the footage where I can. It's not always easy, but I think it adds a lot to the impact of a video, rather than some random background music, but it does make the editing process even more long winded ;) [/QUOTE]
