    Is there a "quick fix" in Premiere Pro?

    Yes, assuming your White Balance is off. If there is an area in your image that you know to be white. Click on your clip, select Lumetri, open Basic Correction, select the eyedropper, then click in your image that you know the area is to be white. That should correct your white balance. Exposure...

    What software is this?

    Top one is easy. Any editing software can do the motion on the graphics. They aren't matching camera movement. The second one looks like a designer using After Effects. Would take some time since they cut out some buildings to show overlap of graphic elements. And there is some motion tracking...

    Do you do any post-processing for broadcast?

    Thanks for the reply. No ND filters on the camera. I shoot 29.97 for broadcast. Frame rate typically doesn't affect the image like that - possibly speed changes could, but I don't see that happen anywhere else either. I'll check the style settings. I didn't see the sharpness in there. But I'll...

    Class D no LAANC

    Exactly! I never planned on 0 Grid! My original post was always UNDER the specified grid. And I just got my Wide Area Auth! As long as I'm under the grid ceiling and not in a 0 grid, I'm good for 1 year. :)

    Do you do any post-processing for broadcast?

    I am flying a DJI P4A and finding that it seems to have a little too much detail in the video. I have started transcoding the files to ProRes. But I still get a strange look to the video when broadcast. It's like there is too much detail in the shot causing some strange vibrating within the...

    Class D no LAANC

    FAA actually called me and pretty much told me that I wouldn't be able to get approval in time for my planned flight. I REALLY appreciated their phone call. Didn't expect it! I had him cancel that since it wouldn't happen in time. So now I'm working on a Wide-Area authorization. I do plan on...

    Class D no LAANC

    Thanks Mavic Mac! Good info there! This was my first attempt at Drone Zone authorization. I need to work on my workflow and parameters a bit when it comes to DroneZone.... I've gotten accustomed to LAANC.

    Class D no LAANC

    It is on the very outer edge in 300' grid, so hoping it's not too much of issue. I will have to look into that Wide-Area Authorization. I live in that Class D and can't fly! LOL Although, I do see people flying around the neighborhood at times.... Thanks R Martin!

    Class D no LAANC

    HA! Well that makes it difficult to schedule. I usually don't find out about these video shoots until a few days out. Guess I'll need to work on the process of scheduling these out a little farther at work.

    Class D no LAANC

    Perfect! I got it submitted. I was concerned I needed to get the drone added in my list - which would've been registering it again. It is registered with my employer, so I don't need to. But I was able to submit for approval without having it in my list. Thanks again for the help! :)

    AH. Gotcha! Thank you!

    Class D no LAANC

    Hi! I may need to contact a small local Class D airport for an approval on the edge of approach that has a 300' grid on AirMap - I only need at most 100'. They do not have LAANC available at this airport. This is a new one for me, as I have always had LAANC available for our bigger Class C...

    Restricted zone around stadium

    Thanks for the help! Shoot went great! The TFR was only for game times. Got my DJI Geo Zone unlock prior. Had a C-130 doing touch and go and the turns were about 500 feet above us, but I'd just drop down for him, even though I had 200 foot ceiling LAANC only going about 175. :)

    Restricted zone around stadium

    Great! Good to know! Maybe I'll check it out ahead of time. The Geo Zone unlock will be good for a couple of days, so I should be able to try it prior.

    Restricted zone around stadium

    Thanks for the info! But if the DJI app is seeing it as a restricted zone, won't the app keep me grounded in that area? Thanks again!
